It is possible that your list won’t look right if someone visits it with their selections locked in (if they are a Patron) or with the platform defaults visible (if they are Pro or free).
#CUSTOM POSTER FREE#
You always have the option (whether you’re a paid or free member) to see the custom art or the platform-default art. We know that your hours of careful selections can be impacted when we change up a film’s poster, and that this new feature might further affect aesthetic layouts. A final caveat: we know from your countless curated poster lists that list order is important when you’re customizing a list by aesthetics. Please be cool.)Ĭoming soon, our correspondent Ella Kemp will have a deep-dive essay on the finer details of contemporary poster design, featuring fêted designer Akiko Stehrenberger and the nice folks at Posteritati. (Please do follow their guidelines-if you don’t, it may result in your being removed from their service and/or having the custom-poster feature suspended on your Letterboxd account. There is no option to load your own poster directly to Letterboxd, but if you are in possession of a poster image that isn’t in TMDb’s poster-set for a film, you may upload it over there as long as you follow their guidelines. Posters come to Letterboxd directly from TMDb. For more details about the how-to of poster selection, see our FAQ. Pro and free members have just two options: Any (to see other members’ customizations) and None. And if you love our taste and ours only, you can select “None” to always see the platform-default posters. If you love your choices more than everyone else’s, there’s a “Yours” option. You may change your selection as often as you wish, or use the Reset Poster option to return to the platform-default poster.Īs a Patron or HQ member, you have three options for browsing: you can select to see “Any” custom posters, in which case the posters your Patron friends have chosen will replace your selection (or the platform default) when looking at their profile or content. Now, your selected poster will appear across your use of Letterboxd, on the app, on the web, in your Letterboxd lists, your recent activity and so on (pretty much everywhere except our Year in Review). Simply select a replacement poster (AKA the correct poster, the real poster, the only true poster, the original-language poster, the what-were-they-thinking poster) from one of these tabs and press Save. There’s a language option for TMDb’s list, to help narrow your selections.
#CUSTOM POSTER MOVIE#
The other tabs show a full selection of posters from The Movie Database (where we also source our cast/crew lists) and one of the coolest stores in New York (thanks Stan!). The Popular tab showcases the 30 most popular posters according to community selections made to date. Tap this to open a selection dialog with three tabs: Popular, TMDb and Posteritati.

If you are Patron (or HQ) tier, you’ll see a new Change Poster option for each film.
