    How it works

    1

    Set the real size of the thing

    Enter the finished width and height in millimetres or inches — not the pixel count.

    2

    Choose overlap and marks

    Zero overlap for a poster, 10–15 mm for a chart. Crop marks and page numbers on by default.

    3

    Print, trim, assemble

    Print at 100%, cut along the marks, and tape the sheets together in page order.

    Anything larger than the paper has to be cut into pieces, printed, and put back together. That is routine for sewing patterns and cross-stitch charts, and it is why those PDFs ship with "tiled pages, assemble as marked" in their descriptions. It is also the only way to get a wall-sized poster out of an A4 printer.

    Two details separate output you can actually assemble from output you cannot. Crop marks at the corners tell you where to cut, and the page number tells you which piece you are holding — a tile without a number is an unplaceable puzzle piece once the sheets are shuffled. Both are on by default.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much should I overlap the sheets?

    For a poster, none — butt the edges up and tape. For a cross-stitch chart, 10–15 mm, because you follow rows across the join and need a visible band on both sheets to check the alignment before taping. The tool draws registration crosses in the band for exactly that.

    Why does the result come out smaller than I asked for?

    Almost always because the print dialog is scaling. Select "actual size" or "100%" and turn off "fit to page" — a 4% reduction makes a pattern 4% too small, and on a garment that is the difference between fitting and not. The calibration sheet exists to confirm this before you print 40 pages.

    How many sheets will it take?

    Ahead of time, before you print: the preview states the grid as rows × columns. A 420 × 594 mm poster on A4 is 2 × 2, four sheets; the same thing on Letter needs a slightly different grid because the sheet is a different shape.

    Can I print it at a copy shop instead?

    Yes, and for a large pattern it is often cheaper than the ink. Everything here is designed to be printed at home, but nothing stops you saving the PDF and taking it in. Most shops accept a PDF at true size more readily than a pile of tiles.
