Create a large poster from an image or one PDF page using a regular printer. Set the physical size and split it across A4 or Letter sheets.
Preparing your tool…
A visual example
One poster, several correctly sized sheets
Plan the final physical size before sending the PDF to the printer.
- 300 × 300 mmSquare poster
Set the final size
Example: a square image, 300 mm wide, A4 portrait, 10 mm margins and overlap, with marks and labels.
- 1 · 11 · 22 · 12 · 2
Follow the tile layout
These settings use two columns and two rows. Assemble the labelled sheets using their overlaps.
- Calibration sheet
Actual size / 100%
50 × 50 mm square
Do not fit to page
Print at actual size
With calibration enabled, a separate fifth sheet has a 50 × 50 mm square. Check it with a ruler.
If the calibration square is not 50 mm wide, correct the print scaling before printing the poster.
Illustrative example. Specified example, not your current tile count. The calibration sheet is separate from the poster.

How to use it
- Choose a still image or select a page from a supported PDF.
- Set the finished width or height in millimetres, paper size, margins and overlap.
- Review every sheet in the arrangement and optionally add cut marks, labels and a calibration sheet.
- Create the PDF, print at Actual size / 100%, and measure the calibration square before assembling it.
A 370 × 222 mm image fits across two A4 portrait sheets with 10 mm margins and 10 mm overlap when marks and labels are off. The optional 50 mm calibration square adds a separate sheet.
Details & limits
Images: 10 MiB / 20 MP. PDF: select one page from up to 25 MiB / 100 pages, rendered to bounded pixels. At most 100 output sheets including calibration. Print at actual size.
Why does the printer's Fit to page setting matter?
Fit to page changes the scale established in the PDF. Use the chosen paper and Actual size / 100%, then measure the 50 × 50 mm square. Printer margins and physical output still need checking; enlarging a low-resolution source cannot add image detail.
