Can I make a happy birthday poster with a photo?

Yes. Upload the photo, place it in a frame or remove its background, and put the name in big type next to it.

What size should a birthday poster be?

A4 for printing, which the poster opens at. Use 4:5 (1080 × 1350) for WhatsApp and Instagram posts and 9:16 (1080 × 1920) for a status.

Can I print the poster bigger than A4?

Yes. Type a larger size such as A3 in Settings, or ask the print shop to scale the A4 PDF up. Use a sharp photo so it stays clear when printed big.

Can I write the birthday wish in Hindi?

Yes, with a font that supports Devanagari. Check the text in the preview before you download.

Can I add the age in big numbers?

Yes. Add a text layer with the age in a bold font, or use number graphics from the graphics library.

What is the difference from the birthday card maker?

The birthday card maker is for cards you send to one person. The poster maker is for a big poster to print for a party or post for everyone to see.

Can I make a birthday poster for a customer?

Yes. Add their name, a warm line and your logo small in a corner. Ask before using a customer's photo.

Can I turn the poster into a birthday video?

Yes. Download it as an image and use it as the first frame in the birthday video maker in Motion Studio.

How to make a happy birthday poster people stop to read

A birthday poster does one job: make everyone see whose day it is. Get the name, the photo and the size right and the rest is decoration.

Make the name the hero

The name should be the biggest thing on the poster — bigger than "Happy Birthday". Use a bold display or script font for it, put the age in large numbers next to it, and keep the wish to one short line below. From across a room, people should read the name first.

Use one strong photo

One clear, smiling photo beats a collage of small ones. Place it in a circle or arch frame, or remove the background so the person stands on the poster's colour. An old childhood photo next to a recent one makes a lovely "then and now" poster for a milestone birthday — restore it first if it's faded.

Pick colours for the person and the party

Bright colours and balloons for kids, pastels for a gentle look, gold with deep blue or maroon for a 50th or 60th. Two or three colours are enough; more makes the photo harder to see. If the party has a theme, match the poster to the decorations.

Choose the size for where it goes

Party wall or entrance: A4 is the default. For a bigger print, type a larger size in Settings or ask the print shop to scale the PDF to A3.
WhatsApp chat or Instagram post: 4:5 (1080 × 1350).
Status or story: 9:16 (1080 × 1920).

Make the A4 version first, then duplicate it and change the size for each place you'll share it.

Printing tips

Download the PDF for printing; it keeps text sharp. Leave a little space around the edges so nothing important gets trimmed. Glossy paper makes photos pop; matte paper is easier to read under party lights.

For shops and brands

A birthday poster for a customer works best when it's about them, not you: their name and photo (with permission), a warm line, and your logo small in a corner. Add a small birthday offer or a QR code from the QR code generator if you like.

Make a video wish too

Open the birthday video maker, use the poster as the opening frame and add a few photos and a song for a wish that plays at midnight.
