CVPR 2026 · Page Limit

CVPR 2026 Page Limit

Eight content pages for the main paper. References excluded. Supplementary in a separate PDF (unlimited). Accepted papers get one extra page for camera-ready.

Open CVPR template (with live page counter)

The rule, in one sentence

Main paper: 8 pages. References: unlimited (excluded). Supplementary: separate PDF (unlimited). Camera-ready: 9 pages.

What counts toward the 8 pages

  • The abstract
  • All section text from Introduction through Conclusion
  • Figures and their captions
  • Tables
  • Algorithms and pseudocode
  • Inline and display equations

What does NOT count

  • References (the bibliography after the main body)
  • Supplementary material (separate PDF/zip)
  • Acknowledgments (hidden during anonymous review; reappear in camera-ready)

What goes in supplementary?

  • Extended experimental results / additional baselines
  • Additional figures (qualitative results, ablations)
  • Mathematical proofs (full versions; main paper has sketches)
  • Dataset details, hyperparameter grids
  • Video demos (.mp4, ≤100MB total supp size)
  • Source code (anonymous repo or .zip)

How to stay under 8 pages

  • Move full proofs to supplementary; keep proof sketches in main.
  • Combine related plots into sub-figure layouts.
  • Tighten captions — long captions are a common space hog at CVPR.
  • Use vector figures (PDF) instead of bitmaps where possible.
  • Remove redundant prose — CVPR papers are dense by design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CVPR 2026 page limit?

Main paper submissions are 8 content pages (text, figures, tables) excluding references. Reviewers see 8 pages of main content + bibliography. Accepted papers get one extra page (9 total) for camera-ready. Supplementary material goes in a separate PDF/zip and is unlimited.

Do references count toward the 8-page limit?

No. References are excluded from the page limit. You can have a 12-page paper if 8 pages are main body and 4 pages are bibliography — and you'd be within the rules.

What is supplementary material at CVPR?

A separate PDF or zip file uploaded alongside your main paper. Unlimited length. Can include: extended experimental results, additional figures, video demos (.mp4), code, dataset details, proofs. Reviewers may consult but aren't required to read it. Critical claims must fit in the main 8 pages.

Can I include videos in supplementary material?

Yes. CVPR allows .mp4, .gif, and other media in the supplementary zip. 100MB total supplementary size limit. Reference videos in the main paper: 'See supplementary video at sup_video.mp4 for the demo.' Don't put critical results only in video — text/figures should stand alone for reviewers who skip multimedia.

How is CVPR different from NeurIPS on page limits?

CVPR: 8 pages main, references excluded, separate supplementary PDF. NeurIPS: 9 pages main, references excluded, separate supplementary PDF. Similar structure, different page count. ECCV (CVPR's European sibling) uses 14 pages main — much longer.

What's the camera-ready page limit at CVPR?

9 pages main content (8 + 1 extra), plus references. The extra page is for addressing reviewer feedback, expanding limitations, including newly visible acknowledgments and author info.

What if I exceed 8 pages?

Submissions over 8 pages of main content are typically desk-rejected. CVPR's CMT submission system enforces the cap automatically. Use the supplementary for anything that doesn't fit.

How do I keep my CVPR paper under 8 pages?

Move proofs and extended ablations to supplementary. Use sub-figure layouts. Tighten captions. Remove redundant prose. The CVPR template includes \setlength tweaks that maximize space within the 8-page bound.
