Clear print setup

Real dimensions without print-dialog guesswork.

Exact-size mode is useful for craft templates, sewing patterns, event signs, props, and reference drawings. Enter the finished width and height, then choose your paper size and orientation.

The PDF page boxes carry the intended physical dimensions. Your printer can still override them, so select Actual size or 100% and measure the free test square when precision matters.

Fit keeps the whole image visible inside the requested dimensions. Fill covers the entire area and lets you move the crop from left to right or top to bottom.

Quick setup

Print an image at an exact size in three steps.

  1. Enter the finished dimensions

    Choose Exact size and set the width and height in inches, centimeters, or millimeters.

  2. Choose Fit or Fill

    Use Fit to keep every edge visible or Fill when the selected dimensions matter more than the crop.

  3. Verify the printer scale

    Print the PDF at Actual size or 100% and measure the test square before a precise job.

    Switch between inches, centimeters, and millimeters without estimating conversions.

  2. Choose Fit or Fill deliberately.

    Fit preserves every edge. Fill reaches the full dimensions by cropping part of the source.

FAQ

Questions about this print job.

How do I print an image at an exact size?

Choose Exact size, enter the finished width and height, and export the PDF. Print at Actual size or 100% so the printer preserves those dimensions.

Why is my printed image slightly smaller?

The print dialog may be scaling the PDF to fit the printable area. Choose Actual size or 100% and use the calibration sheet to verify the printer.

Print it right the first time.

Does PageToPoster store my image?

PageToPoster does not store your image.

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.
