Poster Forge: Create Posters Using Your Own Pictures for Free

Dee Jones
Who doesn't love a cool poster?

When you were a kid, you probably had a poster of your favorite nursery rhyme or children's television character (like Big Bird) on your wall. When you were a teen, you might have switched to posters of your favorite sports teams or singing star. And, as an adult, you might have switched to something more sophisticated (like landscapes, or posters of famous paintings) and framed them before hanging them on your wall.

While posters of famous people or places are fun, there is something even more fun about having posters that are more personal to you. And, with Poster Forge, you can create those personalized posters for free.

What Is Poster Forge?

Poster Forge is a program that allows you to use your own pictures to create posters. The software is free, and as easy to learn as it is to use. And it works with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

You don't need any special artistic skill or computer know-how to use Poster Forge. All you need is a picture, and the ability to get it on your computer, whether you scan an old photo, or take a new photo using a digital camera. Poster Forge will walk you, step by step, through the creation of your poster.

What Kinds Of Posters Can You Make with Poster Forge?

You can make all kinds of posters using Poster Forge. You can take a picture of a friend or family member and turn it into a movie poster, or motivational poster. Or you can create a poster to demonstrate some process or a new product. One of the most fun types of posters to create are Old West style Wanted posters, which includes the name of the wanted "criminal," and the reward for their capture.

Poster Forge takes you step by step through the creation of each type of poster, so most of the work is done for you. However, there is still room for you to be creative.

What To Do With the Posters You Create?

You can use the posters you create with Poster Forge to decorate your own walls. But these posters also make great gifts. You can use Poster Forge to create a Wanted poster of the guest of honor at a birthday party, which is sure to get a few chuckles from everyone there. Or you can use a picture of a touching family scene to create a moving movie poster.

With Poster Forge, you can learn to create amazing, personalized posters in minutes.
