PLATE Poster layers

A print sheet you can edit

A poster, taken apart.

Give Plate any poster. It splits that picture into layers โ€” the type, the pictures, and the blocks of color โ€” and each layer downloads as its own PNG.

New project asks for a poster, then splits it into layers.

PLATE

POSTER LAYERS

/014

Type, picture, and ink. Each one can leave the sheet on its own.

Kept in register.


Three moves

From a picture to a stack of files.

  1. 01

    Add a poster

    Choose a picture. It fills the page, and the page takes its shape. Undo returns the plate you had before. A picture stays one image layer. Plate does not pull the letters out of a flat print.

  2. 02

    Work in layers

    Add a line of type, another image, or a block of color. Drag it, resize it, rewrite it. A color set to multiply sits on a photograph the way a printing plate does.

  3. 03

    Take it with you

    Poster PNG is the whole sheet. The arrow on a layer saves that layer alone. Layer PNGs packs every layer into one zip.

Sheet long side up to 1800px Layers text, image, shape, mark, barcode Files poster PNG, layer PNG, zip, plate JSON

What you download

One sheet, or every layer.

Each layer PNG is the full size of the poster, with a clear background. Stack them and they sit in the same place they had on the sheet. Hidden layers are in the zip too.

One file

Poster PNG

The sheet as you see it. Paper, grain, type, and color, flattened into a single image.

Every layer

Layer PNGs

One PNG for each layer, stored together. Open one arrow on a row when you only need that piece.
