Folio Poster vs Poster

Folio Poster is a web editor for scientific conference posters intended for A0 print. It exports A0 or A1 PDFs in portrait or landscape at 300 DPI, and each poster can include a companion web page reached through a QR code printed on the poster. The editor supports research sections such as introduction, methods, and results, alongside tables, charts, KPIs, and figures. Listed data blocks include tables, bar charts, donut charts, and large-number KPIs. Seven color themes are available, and the interface and section labels can be displayed in English or French. Its listed audiences span medical and health research, experimental sciences, psychology and humanities, thesis and doctoral work, engineering and computing, and allied health. The free plan provides four templates, A0 PDF export, and a companion page, but its PDF carries a light Folio Studio watermark. A one-time 0.99 EUR payment removes the watermark from one poster; the one-time 2.49 EUR AI pack adds five generations but does not unlock Pro templates or remove the watermark. Pro costs €3.99 a month or €29.99 a year and includes all 17 templates, 10 AI-assisted generations every 30 days, and watermark-free exports for all posters.

Poster is a web and browser-extension design tool that turns creative prompts into editable posters. It offers five generation paths—Smart, Creative, Exact, Professional, and Style Fusion—then lets you revise text or replace objects with AI, adjust layers and layouts manually, upload images, and add QR codes. Eligible standard 1K and 2K creations with an Edit button can return to the editor; 4K posters are download-only. Generation uses 2–5 credits according to model and resolution, with the exact charge shown before starting. The free plan costs nothing and gives new users five credits, 1080p output, PNG and JPG downloads, and community support. Starter costs $9.90 a month with 200 monthly credits, 4K downloads, PDF export, custom brand colors and fonts, commercial usage rights, and a priority queue. Pro costs $29.90 a month and adds 700 monthly credits, team workflow, API-ready content rights, and priority support. One-time credit packs are also available.
