Any2Poster vs Summagraph

Any2Poster converts source material into academic posters and produces PDF, PNG, and HTML artifacts. It accepts documents and presentations, LaTeX, Markdown, plain text, Jupyter notebooks, HTML, URLs, and YouTube URLs. Its six-stage process parses, chunks, analyzes, plans, generates, and compiles posters; saved checkpoints let a run resume from cached stages. Poster text is rendered with HTML and CSS through Playwright, which the project says avoids typography hallucination. Suitable figures can be extracted from the source, while AI image generation can supply panels without a suitable figure. An optional panel-level review checks overflow, blank space, font size, figure balance, and reading order. Users can select named themes, use automatic theme selection, or set custom colors and poster dimensions. The project is open source under an MIT license, with source and Docker installation instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Setup requires Python 3.10 or newer, the Playwright Chromium browser, and an OPENROUTER_API_KEY. A web interface is marked as coming soon.

Summagraph uses AI to convert articles, notes, outlines, product comparisons and research summaries into infographic images for download. The web service lists 22 active visual styles, 20 layouts and output in 9+ languages. Images can be used for blogs, landing pages, social media or internal knowledge sharing. Summagraph names marketers, educators, creators and students as audiences. The Free plan costs nothing and supplies 10 sign-up credits with all styles and layouts, but downloads are watermarked. Lite costs $1.99, paid once, billed one-time, and provides 50 credits or 10 generations with no-watermark downloads; those credits never expire. Pro costs $6.90, paid once, also a one-time payment, and includes 200 credits or 40 generations, unwatermarked downloads and priority support. Paid credit packs use Stripe one-time payments rather than subscriptions. Email is the primary support channel for billing, account, generation and feedback questions.
