A poster your printer
already fits on A4
Set the size you want it, and the sheets are worked out for you — overlap for the glue, a line for the scissors, and a map that says which sheet goes where. Free, in full. No sign-up.
- Free, no account.
- Every size and every export is free from the first open — no sign-up, no e-mail, no card.
- Runs in your browser.
- The file is cut on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is nothing to install.
- Printer margins allowed for.
- Every piece is measured against the area your printer can actually reach, so the seams meet once it is glued.
- Overlap for gluing.
- Neighbouring sheets overlap by the width you set. Cut along the line, take the spare off and the picture lines up.
- Vector stays vector.
- A PDF is cut, not redrawn: text and lines print as sharp as the file they came from.
- Assembly map.
- A separate page shows the whole layout and where each sheet goes.
What it does
Three ways a file ends up bigger than the paper
One idea behind all three: break a large file into sheets, and show how to put them back together.
One picture, many sheets
- Say the finished size in millimetres
- The grid and the sheet count follow
- Proportions are kept — nothing is stretched
Features
More than cutting a picture into sheets
Load the file, say how big it should be, check the sheets on screen and take the files.
The file
What goes in.
- PDF, cut as vector — text stays text
- JPEG and PNG print at the resolution you choose
- A multi-page PDF is split page by page, in order
- Nothing leaves the browser
The size
How big it comes out.
- The finished poster in millimetres, proportions kept
- Or at true size — 1 : 1
- A0 to A3 to hand, or any size typed in
- The sheet count before anything is printed
The paper
What it prints on.
- A4, A3, Letter, Legal and the rest
- Upright, on its side, or automatically — whichever needs fewer sheets
- The printer's own unprintable edge taken off
- The layout uses the whole sheet rather than leaving one nearly empty
The seams
How it goes back together.
- The overlap in millimetres, the same on every seam
- A cut line where the overlap begins
- The repeated strip is tinted, so it is clear where the overlap starts
- Sheets named A1, B1, C1 — like a map
How it works
From a file to a wall in four steps
Load it, set the size, set the paper — after that it is printing and gluing.
Load the file
A PDF, a JPEG or a PNG — dropped on the panel or picked from a folder.
Say how big
The finished size in millimetres, or 1 : 1 to print the file as it is.
Set the paper
The sheet your printer takes, the edge it cannot reach, and the overlap you want.
Print and glue
Download the sheets and the map, print at 100%, cut along the line and glue.
Who it is for
When the paper is smaller than the job
The same problem in a dozen trades: the drawing is bigger than the printer.
Posters and signs
An A2 or A1 poster printed on an ordinary desk printer and glued from sheets.
Packaging mock-ups
A dieline at full size: glue it up, fold it and see the box before the run.
Patterns and stencils
A sewing pattern or a stencil at true size — print, cut out and tape together.
Plans and drawings
A floor plan or a workshop drawing at 1 : 1, without a trip to the copy shop.
Classrooms and studios
A map, a chart or a picture blown up for the wall, cheaply and on the spot.
Trade fairs and pop-ups
A backdrop or stand graphic for when it has to print today rather than wait for a printer.
FAQ
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every size, any number of sheets and every export are free. No sign-up, no e-mail and no card.
Does my file get uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your own device. The file is never sent to a server.
Which files can it cut?
PDF, JPEG and PNG. A multi-page PDF is handled page by page.
Why are there white borders on the outer sheets?
The sheets almost never add up to the poster exactly: if the arithmetic asks for 2.3 sheets, three get printed. That slack goes around the edge of the poster by default, where it is trimmed off anyway. The “spread the slack between the seams” switch gives it to the glue strips instead: no white borders, but wider overlaps.
How wide should the overlap be?
Ten millimetres is the default, and enough to spread glue on and line the picture up. A wider overlap is easier to glue but spends more paper on the doubled strips.
Will the sheets line up?
They will, as long as you print at 100% and use the paper and the unprintable edge the job was worked out with.
