Made composes a cinematic poster-style image around your subject and returns a PNG. ## How to use Movie Poster Maker 1. **Upload a photo of your subject** A clear shot of the person or pet works best — the model builds the poster around them. 2. **Describe the film** Name the genre and mood, and add scene details: “thriller, rain-soaked city, dramatic shadows.” 3. **Request title text if you want it** Ask for a title in the instruction — “with the title ORBIT in bold letters at the top” — and the model renders it into the art. 4. **Review and re-run** Check your subject’s likeness and any generated lettering for accuracy, then refine the instruction and run again if needed. ## Movie Poster Maker examples Real results from Made.

Made sends the photo and instruction to an AI edit model that composes a cinematic poster-style image around your subject and returns a PNG. **Can it add a movie title to the poster?** Yes — ask for it in the instruction, such as “with the title MIDNIGHT RUN HOME in bold letters at the top.” The lettering is generated into the artwork, so proofread it; generated text can come out misspelled, and a re-run with the same request usually fixes it. **What genres can I ask for?** Any look you can describe: thriller, sci-fi, horror, romance, western, action, animation-style, or a mix. Describing the visual elements — lighting, setting, color palette — steers the poster more reliably than the genre name alone. **Will the person in the poster look like me?** The poster is built from your actual photo, so the subject is you rather than a generated stand-in. That said, heavy stylization is a generative edit and facial detail can shift — review the likeness and re-run with “keep my face accurate” if it drifted. **Can I recreate a poster from a real movie?** The tool composes original poster-style art from your description; it isn’t meant to replicate existing posters, which are copyrighted. Describe the genre look you want — “neon sci-fi with a city skyline” — instead of naming a specific film. **Is the output good enough to print?** You get a PNG, and inputs over 1,536 pixels on a side are downscaled before editing, so for a large print run the result through Image Upscaler first and check the lettering and fine detail at full size. **What is the difference between this and Album Cover Maker?** Both restyle your photo into designed artwork, but this page is tuned for cinematic one-sheet looks — billing-block-style composition, dramatic genre lighting, a title treatment — while Album Cover Maker targets square music-cover aesthetics.
