Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 2:14 pm

A poster is a great way to showcase your work, whether it’s a school project, research data, or even just a fun design. Canva’s free online poster maker gives you the ability to design a professional quality poster without having to hire a designer or use expensive software. And the best part is, you can do it all from your web browser!

To get started, log in or sign up for a free Canva account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button at the top of the homepage.

From there, select “Poster” from the list of design types. You’ll be taken to a blank canvas where you can start designing your poster.

If you don’t have any specific ideas in mind, we recommend checking out our library of poster templates. We have thousands of professionally-designed templates to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that fits your needs. To browse our template library, click on the “Templates” tab in the editor.

PRO TIP: This article provides instructions on how to create an academic poster using the online design platform Canva. However, it is important to note that posters created in this way may not be suitable for all academic purposes. For example, if you are required to submit a poster for an academic conference, the conference organizers may have specific requirements that must be met in order for your poster to be accepted. Additionally, some academic journals may also have restrictions on the use of Canva or other online design platforms for poster submissions. Therefore, it is advisable to check the requirements of your particular institution or publication before creating your poster.

Once you’ve found a template you like, click on it to open it up in the editor. From there, you can start customizing it to fit your needs. Change up the colors, fonts, images, and other elements until you have something that looks perfect.

When you’re finished designing your poster, click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner of the editor. You can choose to download your poster as a PDF, JPG, or PNG file. We recommend choosing PDF for the highest quality print.

Creating an academic poster on Canva is easy and free! With just a few clicks, you can create a professional quality poster without having to hire a designer or use expensive software.
