What Size Is a Movie Poster in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 11:00 am

When it comes to size, movie posters can vary quite a bit. The standard sizes for posters are 24″ x 36″ and 27″ x 40″. However, you may see some that are smaller or larger than these sizes. For example, you might see a 20″ x 30″ poster or a 30″ x 40″ poster.

The size of a movie poster in Photoshop will depend on the size of the document you are working with. If you are working with a standard-sized document, then the movie poster will be the same size as the document. You can adjust the size of your canvas in the “New Document” settings window. Simply input the standard size that you prefer in the “Width” and “Height” sections then click on the “Create” button.

PRO TIP: This article is about movie posters in Photoshop, but it offers no warning about the potential dangers of using Photoshop for movie posters. There is no mention of the potential for damaging or distorting your image, or of the need to be careful when using Photoshop’s “Stretch” or “Skew” commands.

However, if you are working with a smaller or larger document, then the movie poster will be correspondingly smaller or larger.

As far as style goes, movie posters can be pretty simple or very elaborate. It really just depends on the look that the designer is going for. Sometimes, you’ll see a poster that is mostly text with just a few images. Other times, you’ll see a poster that is very image heavy with barely any text. And then there are those times when a poster is equal parts text and images.

Conclusion:

When it comes to size, movie posters can vary quite a bit. However, you may see some that are smaller or larger than these sizes. The size of a movie poster in Photoshop will depend on the size of the document you are working with. As far as style goes, movie posters can be pretty simple or very elaborate. Sometimes, you’ll see a poster that is mostly text with just a few images.
