4 tools selected and reviewed
A poster is not a shortened paper. It is read standing up, in three minutes, in a noisy corridor, by someone who decides in ten seconds whether to stop. The most common mistake is to dump the whole introduction and method into it, which produces a wall of text nobody reads and forces you to tell the whole story out loud.
We ranked these tools on their ability to condense a long text into a single message and to produce a layout readable from a metre away, not on the number of templates they offer.

Frequently asked questions
What should you keep from a paper in a poster?
One result, the method in one sentence, and what it changes. The rest belongs in the spoken discussion or behind a QR code to the paper. Claude is useful for that reduction exercise: ask it for the single message of the paper before laying anything out.
What font size should a scientific poster use?
The practical rule follows reading distance: the title must be readable from three metres, the subheadings from two, the body text from one metre. On an A0 format this usually means 70 points or more for the title, around 36 for subheadings and never below 24 for body text. If your content does not fit at those sizes, there is too much of it.
Can an AI generate a complete poster?
The layout yes, the scientific content no. Gamma produces a usable structure within minutes from your text, Napkin AI turns a line of reasoning into a diagram, and Canva remains the most flexible for adjusting to the format the conference imposes. Deciding what deserves to be there stays human work.
