Poster Print

Poster Print keeps your artwork at 100% scale and divides it into a grid of tiles sized to the sheet your printer can output. Each tile carries a duplicated overlap 'lap band' — the same slice of image printed on both neighbours — plus optional cut/keep marks, R#-C# tile labels, registration crosshairs, and an assembly overview sheet. Everything is computed locally in your browser and exported as a multi-page PDF, one tile per page. Print every page at 100% / Actual Size (Fit-to-Page OFF), trim the marked seam edge, and overlay it onto the kept neighbour along the lap band.

How It Works

Poster Print keeps your artwork at 100% scale and divides it into a grid of tiles sized to the sheet your printer can output. Each tile carries a duplicated overlap 'lap band' — the same slice of image printed on both neighbours — plus optional cut/keep marks, R#-C# tile labels, registration crosshairs, and an assembly overview sheet. Everything is computed locally in your browser and exported as a multi-page PDF, one tile per page. Print every page at 100% / Actual Size (Fit-to-Page OFF), trim the marked seam edge, and overlay it onto the kept neighbour along the lap band.

Orientation:Auto compares portrait and landscape and picks whichever produces fewer tiles. Force Portrait or Landscape only when you need the seams to fall a particular way.
Safe margin:The per-edge clearance from the printer's non-printable border. Keep it around 10 mm unless your printer prints closer to the edge; too small risks clipped content.
Overlap:A duplicated lap band shared by adjacent tiles (default ~12 mm). It is content you overlay, not bleed you discard. Increase toward 15–25 mm if thin white lines appear between assembled tiles.
Alignment:Centered spreads leftover space evenly for balanced margins; Top-left packs tiles from the corner to waste less paper.
Assembly overview sheet:Adds a map of the finished poster with the tile grid and a measuring square. Measure the printed square — if it isn't exactly its stated size, your printer is scaling; turn Fit-to-Page OFF and reprint at 100%.

Options Guide
Sheet

Picks the paper size your printer outputs and the orientation used to lay out the tiles.

Choose the sheet your printer can physically print (A4, Letter, A3, Tabloid, and more via the searchable selector) — not the finished poster size. Orientation: Auto picks whichever of portrait or landscape yields the fewest tiles; Portrait and Landscape force a fixed rotation. The poster is split to cover its full size using as many of these sheets as needed.

Tiling

Controls the non-printable safe margin, the overlap lap band shared between tiles, and how leftover space is distributed.

Safe margin is the per-edge strip kept clear of your printer's non-printable border (default ~10 mm) so no content lands where the printer can't reach. Overlap is a duplicated lap band printed on both neighbouring tiles (default ~12 mm; 10–25 mm works well) — it is content you keep and overlay, not throwaway bleed — giving you surface to align seams. Alignment: Centered splits leftover space evenly around the poster; Top-left anchors to the top-left corner and wastes less paper.

Marks & aids

Optional guides printed on each tile to make cutting and hand assembly accurate.

Cut/keep marks flag which edge to trim (solid) versus keep. Tile labels stamp each page with its grid position (R1-C2) so you assemble in the right order. Overlap-band guide shades the duplicated lap strip so it is easy to spot. Registration crosshairs give precise alignment targets where tiles meet. Assembly overview sheet adds a thumbnail map of the full poster with the tile grid, plus a printed measuring square you can check to confirm your printer output at true 100% scale.

Pages

Limits which source pages are tiled when the file has more than one.

By default every page of the source is tiled. Enter a range (e.g. 1-3, 5) to tile only specific pages — useful when a multi-page PDF contains one poster among other artwork.
