User need

I want to create an event page from an existing poster or image.

Use this when the event already exists somewhere visual

A poster is useful when most event details are already designed into an image. HereNow can use that image to create a structured draft instead of making you retype everything.

Image extraction is still a draft workflow. Posters often contain small text, stylized type, multiple languages, sponsor marks, or old details that need a human check.

Create from a poster or image

1

Open event creation

Go to the event creation flow and choose the option to start from an image or poster when it is available.

2

Upload a clear image

Use a high-resolution poster, flyer, or screenshot. Avoid cropped, blurry, rotated, or heavily compressed images when possible.

3

Review the extracted draft

Check the event title, date, start time, timezone, location, description, agenda, speakers, and visible attendee instructions.

4

Fix missing details

Add capacity, registration questions, approval rules, ticket settings, and any accessibility or preparation notes that were not visible on the poster.

5

Publish only after a public-page check

Open preview or the public event page and confirm that attendees can understand what to do next without needing to zoom into the poster.

Poster extraction checklist

Date, time, and timezone are correct.

Venue name and address are correct.

Online access or arrival instructions are clear.

Speaker names and agenda items are accurate.

Registration button and required fields make sense.

Any outdated text from the poster has been removed.

Posters are not a substitute for accessible page text

Do not rely on the poster image alone. Important event details should appear as normal page text so attendees can read, search, translate, and use them on mobile.

FAQ

Can I upload a screenshot instead of a designed poster?

Yes, if the screenshot clearly shows the event details. A clean screenshot is often better than a beautiful but hard-to-read poster.

Will AI extract every detail perfectly?

No. Always review the draft. Small text, unusual date formats, venue names, and speaker details can need correction.

Should I keep the original poster on the event page?

Keep it if it helps the event feel recognizable, but make sure the key details also appear as editable page text.
