Clear print setupA tiled poster that fits a home printer.
The US Letter preset builds each PDF page at exactly 8.5 by 11 inches. A safe outer margin accounts for the area that many home printers cannot reach.
Neighboring pages repeat a narrow strip of the image. The repeated area gives you something to align before taping the sheets together from behind.
If the final dimensions matter, use the exact-size mode and run the printer scaling test once. Most size errors come from a print dialog set to Fit rather than Actual size.
Print it right the first time.
Does PageToPoster store my image?+
PageToPoster does not store your image or PDF.
Which print setting should I use?+
Choose Actual size or 100% in the print dialog. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and Scale to page so every sheet keeps its intended dimensions.
Why do the pages overlap?+
A small repeated edge makes alignment easier. Trim the marked edge of one sheet, place it over the matching image on the next sheet, then tape from behind.
Will this work with a home printer?+
Yes. The default safe margin works with common inkjet and laser printers. Use the free printer scaling test if exact physical size matters.
What image quality do I need?+
The live preview estimates effective image DPI. Above 150 DPI is crisp at close range. Lower values can still work for wall posters viewed from a few feet away.
