Poster Utils Ink — Academic Poster Generator for Inkscape

Overview

Poster Utils Ink automates the most tedious parts of academic poster creation. Fill in your title, authors, affiliations, and abstract — and the extension generates a properly formatted header block, author list with superscript affiliation numbers, and institution row, all placed on the Inkscape canvas at the correct position and typography.

Features

  • Title block at A0/A1/custom poster dimensions
  • Author list with numbering, affiliations, and equal-contribution markers
  • Institution row with logo placeholder slots
  • Abstract section with proper typographic treatment
  • One-click update: change any field and re-render in place

Typical workflow

For a MICCAI or NeurIPS poster:

  1. Set page to A0 landscape (or your conference format)
  2. Run Extensions → Poster Utils → New Poster Header
  3. Fill in the form (title, authors, affiliations, conference logo)
  4. Click Insert — the full header is rendered on the canvas
  5. Edit individual elements as needed
