Split or Tile an Image for Printing
Make a wall-sized poster with an ordinary printer: this image splitter for printing cuts the artwork into a grid of pages, you print every piece at actual size, then tape the sheets together. Nothing is resized or re-sampled, so the edges meet exactly.

Lower quality means a smaller file. PNG always keeps every pixel, so this control only affects JPG and WebP.
How to print one image across several pages
1 · Pick a grid that matches your sheets
Choose Into a grid and set the rows and columns to however many sheets you want: 2 × 2 is four pages, 3 × 3 is nine, 2 × 3 is six. More sheets means a bigger finished poster.
2 · Print at actual size, not fit to page
Every piece is cut at the original resolution, so choose 100% or actual size in your print dialog. "Fit to page" shrinks each piece by a slightly different amount and the rows will not line up.
3 · Trim and tape
This tool makes exact cuts with no overlap and no cut marks. If you want a gluing margin, add a few pixels of blank space around each cell in your design before splitting, then trim to it after printing.
What people print this way
A wall poster from a home printer
One A4 or Letter sheet is small; nine of them taped together is a poster. Split the artwork 3 × 3 and the finished piece is three sheets wide and three tall.
Classroom and office displays
Timetables, maps, seating plans and safety notices are designed large but printed small. Cut them into a grid and every sheet prints at readable resolution.
Scale drawings and patterns
Sewing patterns, floor plans and quilt templates are printed in tiles and reassembled. Cutting them by exact pixel size keeps every tile the same physical size.
Photo mosaics for a wall
Split one photo into a grid, print the pieces, and mount them with a small gap for a tiled mosaic effect.
Questions
How big is each printed piece?
It follows your source image. A 3000 × 3000 px image split 3 × 3 gives nine pieces of 1000 × 1000 px — at 300 dpi that is about 8.5 cm, at 150 dpi about 17 cm per side.
Should I use 'fit to page'?
No. Fit-to-page rescales each piece to the paper, and printers add their own margins, so the pieces end up slightly different sizes. Always print at 100% or actual size.
Does the tool add overlap or cut marks?
No — cuts are exact rectangles with no overlap and no printed marks. Add a margin to your design before splitting if you want something to trim along.
Which format should I export?
Use PNG for graphics, text and line art so the edges stay crisp. JPG is fine for photographs and keeps the files smaller.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Your image files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded. They stay on your device.
