LaTeX Academic Poster Templates (2026)

Shihab Shahriar Antor•July 15, 2026

Conference posters need big, legible columns and crisp figures at print size. LaTeX gets both right the first time. These free poster templates cover the common sizes and layouts, from landscape 36×48 to portrait A2 and a tri-fold.

Each opens on LetX and compiles in your browser in seconds, with balanced multi-column sections, figure and result blocks, and a tasteful academic palette.

There are 28 poster templates in the catalogue, from A0 conference posters to flyers and zines. Filter by what you are making first, then by the package and the paper size your conference asks for. Every package and size here was read from the template’s own source.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a conference poster be?

In the US the most common is 36×48 inches, in portrait or landscape; in Europe it is A0, A1 or A2. We host A0, A1 and A2 templates and 36×48 inch posters in both orientations, so you can match your conference's spec.

Which LaTeX package makes posters?

There are four common ones and our templates use all of them: tikzposter, beamerposter, baposter and the a0poster class, plus a few built on plain LaTeX with geometry. The finder on this page filters by each. All of them are vector, so text stays crisp at print size.

Is there a tri-fold poster template?

Yes. Our tri-fold academic poster template splits into three panels for a portable, table-top display.

Do I need to install LaTeX?

No. Open any template on LetX and it compiles in your browser in seconds, on any operating system.

Can co-authors edit a poster together?

Yes. LetX supports real-time collaboration, and your unpublished work is never used to train AI.
