What makes key art read as a film

A poster sells a film in one frame: a lit face, a mood, a palette that tells you the genre before you read a word. SceneSteller generates that frame from your own photo, using looks modelled on directors and genres, from rain-neon neo-noir to pastel dollhouse symmetry and classic noir, so the person on the poster is you.

Studio makes the image; the title, credits and tagline go on in Typography Lab, where you can also pick an export size. Use it for a short film, a channel trailer, a birthday gift or a pitch. For reference, the 15 movie-poster scenes in the scene library break down how well-known posters are composed.

Why homemade posters look homemade

Sound familiar?

  • The lighting looks like a phone photo?

    Director and genre styles set the light, palette and mood of key art.

  • Compositing your face into a template?

    Generate the whole frame from your photo, so face and scene share the same light.

  • Generic templates everywhere?

    Real cinematic aesthetics. Brooding large-format darkness. Retro pulp color. Monumental sci-fi scale.

  • Typography is the hard part?

    Typography Lab adds the title, credits and tagline on top of the image.

    One photo is enough

Poster questions

How do I make a movie poster with my face?

Upload a clear photo in Studio, choose a director or genre style and generate the key art. Then add the title, credits and tagline in Typography Lab and export it.

Which film looks are there?

15 director styles, ranging from large-format practical epics, monumental minimal sci-fi and cold, precise thrillers to pastel, dollhouse-symmetric comedies and cold one-point framing, plus genre, era, franchise and movie looks you can preview in the style library.

Can I add a title and credits?

Yes. Typography Lab is included from the Starter plan and sets title, credits and tagline text on the image. You can also finish the poster in any design tool you already use.

Can I print it?

Standard images are 2K, fine for screens and small prints. 4K images need the Creator plan, better for large prints.

How much does it cost?

Images run on credits. The default model needs no plan; 4K images need the Creator plan. A standard 2K image on the default model costs 12 credits and a 4K image costs 18. Credit packs run from Spark ($4.99 for 40 credits) to Nova ($74.99 for 750 credits).

Can I use real film titles or studio logos?

Keep titles and logos your own. Under the Terms of Service you may use generated images in personal or commercial projects, subject to applicable law and third-party rights. You need the rights to any photo you upload.

Making the video too?

Script to Video turns a script into scenes with the same character in every one, adds narration and composes the video for you to export and upload.
