Aspect ratio

The 24x36 poster size is a familiar large-format canvas for campaigns, concerts, launches, and wall displays. It gives a headline, image, and call to action room to work together while remaining a practical size for standard poster frames and print production.
Exact 24x36 poster dimensions
A 24x36 poster is 24 inches wide by 36 inches high in portrait orientation, or 60.96 cm by 91.44 cm. The landscape version is 36x24 inches. Both orientations use the same 2:3 aspect ratio.
Best uses for this poster size
Choose 24x36 for event posters, film-style one-sheets, storefront campaigns, trade-show graphics, public notices, and artwork intended to be read while standing several feet away. It is a strong default when you need impact without moving into banner dimensions.
Print setup tips
Design for distance: use a short headline, high contrast, and generous type. Add printer bleed before export and keep key content away from the trim edge. At 300 DPI, a 24x36 file is approximately 7200 × 10800 pixels; lower resolution can work when the poster will be viewed farther away.
Is 24x36 a good size for an event poster?
Yes. 24x36 inches is one of the most useful large poster sizes for events and public displays because the 2:3 proportion is easy to compose and readable at a distance. Confirm frame and printer availability before finalizing the design.
