What Posterly is
Posterly turns a research paper into a designed, typeset poster that can be reviewed and sent to print. Users provide LaTeX in a ZIP or TAR.GZ archive or a Word DOCX file, then choose standard or custom dimensions. Design preferences cover layout, background, brand colours, and type feel, with plain-language requests also supported. Claude Opus can build the poster while GPT reviews it; the GPT-only tier uses GPT for both stages. Automated checks look for overflow, footer clearance, broken images, and typographic widows. GPT reviews content for possible issues such as incorrect figures or claims. After approval and balance payment, Posterly supplies a print-ready PDF and editable HTML source. Users retain rights and must check scientific content. Uploaded files are sent to the third-party AI service for generation, and Posterly says it does not sell data.
