CVPR 2027 LaTeX Template: the Official Kit, the Rules and the Deadlines

CVPR 2027 deadlines

Where to get the official CVPR 2027 template

The template is the author kit the organisers publish on the CVPR 2027 Author Guidelines page, linked there as CVPR 2027 Submission Template: one zip, dated 21 October 2026, maintained in the cvpr-org/author-kit repository. Download it from there rather than from a copy: the kit is updated for each year, and an older copy carries older rules. Inside:

• main.tex: the paper, with the line that switches between review and camera-ready at the top.
• preamble.tex: optional tweaks, all switched off, such as TODO macros and microtype for when you are just over the page limit.
• sec/: the example sections (abstract, introduction, formatting, final copy, supplementary), each read in from main.tex.
• cvpr.sty: the style itself. Do not edit it.
• ieeenat_fullname.bst and main.bib: the bibliography style and example references.
• rebuttal.tex: the one-page rebuttal, for after the reviews.

One change for 2027: the template no longer has a paper ID. The organisers removed it to reduce the risk of leaking IDs, so there is nothing to fill in until OpenReview asks.

Review, camera-ready and arXiv: one line decides

\usepackage[review]{cvpr}        % submission: line numbers and page numbers
% \usepackage{cvpr}              % camera-ready, after acceptance: neither
% \usepackage[pagenumbers]{cvpr} % page numbers only, for example an arXiv version

The kit ships in review mode, which is what you submit. Switch to the plain \usepackage{cvpr} only for the camera-ready version. The kit loads hyperref with back-references on purpose, because they help reviewers; leave it on unless it breaks the build.

The rules that get papers rejected without review

• Eight pages, figures and tables included. References and the LLM Usage Statement may go on further pages. An overlength paper is not reviewed at all.
• Double blind. No author names, no acknowledgements that identify you, no links to sites that identify you. Cite your own earlier work in the third person ("Smith et al. showed"), not as "our previous work".
• Leave the format alone. Two columns, 10-point Times, the margins cvpr.sty sets. The template gets these right as long as you do not override them.
• Supplementary material goes in separately. Its deadline is 23 November, and a single-column layout is allowed there. The kit can append supplementary pages to the paper (sec/X_suppl.tex, off by default); if you switch them on while writing, take them out of the paper you submit.
• Submission is on OpenReview. Register the paper there by 10 November.

New for 2027: the LLM Usage Statement

Every CVPR 2027 submission needs a section titled LLM Usage Statement, after the main text and before the references. It does not count toward the eight pages, it must not reveal who you are, and it must say whether and how you used large language models or other generative AI. If you used none, it says that. The example paper in the 2027 kit does not include one, so add it yourself:

\section*{LLM Usage Statement}
State whether and how large language models or other generative AI tools
were used in this work. If none were used, say so.

Open the CVPR kit in LetX

1. Download the kit from the Author Guidelines page. There is no need to unpack it.
2. In LetX, choose Upload Zip on your projects page. main.tex becomes the main file; the rebuttal stays a separate document.
3. Compile. pdfLaTeX and BibTeX run together, so the references resolve on the first build.
4. Invite your co-authors. They edit with you in real time, free, however many there are.

We built the 2027 kit exactly as it ships on 23 October 2026, with pdfLaTeX and BibTeX: a clean five-page PDF on US Letter, no errors. When your own paper fails to build, the LaTeX error guides cover the common messages, and Lexi can read the log and fix the line it names.

Our CVPR-style template is not the submission format

LetX also has a CVPR Paper (Stylized) template: a CVPR-flavoured two-column design set in Lato on a tinted page, with pseudocode and theorem environments, for internal drafts and lab write-ups. It is not the official format and should not be submitted. For a workshop camera-ready paper there is a CVPR workshop template built on the cvpr package; each workshop sets its own rules, so check its call for papers first.
