Why a PDF rather than a folder of images
- One print job. Open, print, done. No opening nine files and setting the scale nine times.
- The order can't go wrong. Page 1 is sheet 1, and every page carries its row and column.
- The page size is fixed inside the file. The PDF already knows its A4, so theres nothing for the print dialog to guess at.
- It travels. Email it, put it on a stick, take it to a shop.
Whats in the file
Each page holds one JPEG placed inside the printable area you set, at the page size you chose. The image is embedded exactly as your browser encoded it and is not re-compressed on the way in, so the PDF is about as small as the pictures inside it. The whole thing is built in your browser — nothing uploaded, no library loaded from anywhere else.
Choosing the settings
| Setting | What to pick |
|---|---|
| Page size | A4 in most of the world, Letter in the US |
| Orientation | Portrait for a tall poster, landscape for a wide one |
| Margin | 3 to 6 mm, matching what your printer can reach |
| Print quality | 150 DPI for photos, 300 for scans and line art |
| Sheets | 2×2 for A2-ish, 3×3 for A1-ish |
File size
A nine-page A4 PDF at 150 DPI usually lands between 3 and 8 MB. At 300 DPI its four times the pixels, so expect 15 to 30. If the file is bigger than you want, drop to 150 before you do anything else — for a poster viewed from more than half a metre the difference isn't visible.
Printing it
- Open the PDF in whatever your computer uses.
- Set the scale to 100% or "Actual size".
- Check the paper size matches the one you chose here.
- Print, then trim the right and bottom margin off each sheet and tape from the back.
Questions
How do I turn an image into a multi-page PDF?
Add your image, pick the paper size and how many sheets, then press Download printable PDF. Each sheet becomes one page.
Why does my printed poster not line up?
Almost always because the print dialog was set to "fit to page", which rescales every sheet slightly. Set it to 100% and reprint.
Is the PDF made on your server?
No. Its written by your browser, in JavaScript, on your own machine. You can check by turning off your connection before you press the button.
What margin should the PDF have?
Match your printer — most manage 3 to 6 mm. The margin is also what you overlap when taping, so don't set it to zero even if your printer is borderless.
Can I print it at a copy shop?
Yes, and its a good way to get A3 or larger. Send them the PDF and ask for 100% scale, no fitting. If they have a plotter, ask about printing it in one piece — no seams at all.
