To print one picture across multiple pages, set the paper and how many sheets wide you want it in the splitter above. It spreads the image over the pages with overlap and cut marks, then exports one PDF. Two, four, six and nine page layouts are all a couple of clicks away.

Drag any line to move a cut. Tab to a line and use the arrow keys to nudge it one pixel, or hold shift for ten.
Vertical cuts give side-by-side pieces. Horizontal cuts stack them.
The tool picks the rows and columns that keep the pieces closest to square.
A shared strip on each seam, so the sheets can be trimmed and taped.
Each piece is resized to the size this page targets before it is saved.
Your image never leaves your device. Splitting runs in your browser with the Canvas API.
Worked out for a 4000 × 3000 photo on Letter landscape. A taller image needs more rows for the same width, so the total goes up with the shape of your picture, not just the setting.

"Print one picture on 4 pages" is the version of this question most people actually ask, so here is the direct answer: two sheets across by two sheets down, printed at 100 percent scale, trimmed on the cut lines and taped from the back.
The sheet count is not usually something you choose directly. You choose the width, or the sheets across, and the rows follow from the shape of the picture. A wide image across two landscape Letter sheets comes to 9 sheets (3 across × 3 down). A taller crop of the same picture will need another row. The tool shows the arrangement before you export, written as sheets across by sheets down, so you can adjust rather than discover it at the printer.
Common layouts, and what they get you. Two pages doubles one dimension. Four pages, in a two by two, doubles both. Six pages is either two by three or three by two depending on the shape. Nine pages is three by three and is about the point where trimming starts to feel like a project.
Overlap is not optional in practice. Home printers leave an unprintable margin, so pages that butt up exactly will always show a gap. A few millimetres of repeated image on each sheet plus a printed cut line is what makes the joins disappear.
The PDF is built in your browser and your image is never uploaded.
Two sheets across by two down doubles the width and the height of a single page. On Letter portrait that is a 17 by 22 inch print before trimming, which fits a wall without becoming a taping exercise. Print at 100 percent, trim one edge per sheet, tape from the back.
Two sheets is the smallest useful tiling and the easiest to assemble, with a single join to get right. It suits a wide photo or a chart that just needs more width than one page gives. Landscape orientation usually makes more sense than portrait here.
Six and nine page layouts get you to genuine poster size on ordinary paper. Assemble one row at a time and then join the rows, so any small misalignment stays inside a row rather than accumulating diagonally across the whole thing.
Plans, schedules and seating charts print across several pages while staying readable. Setting a target width in millimetres rather than a sheet count keeps the drawing at a known scale, which matters if anyone will measure from it after it is taped up.
Set two sheets across in the splitter above and choose your paper. The picture is laid over a two by two arrangement with overlap and cut marks and exported as one PDF. Print it at 100 percent scale, trim one edge of each sheet, then tape them from the back.
Choose the paper, then either a finished width or how many sheets across you want. The rows follow from the shape of the image. The tool shows the arrangement as sheets across by sheets down before you export, along with the effective printing resolution.
Two doubles one dimension, four doubles both, six and nine get you to poster size. Beyond nine the trimming and taping starts to outweigh the result, so consider larger paper instead: one Tabloid sheet covers the same area as two Letter sheets, with half the joins.
Yes. This page does the tiling and builds the PDF in your browser, with nothing installed and nothing uploaded. Some printer drivers offer a poster or tiling mode too, but they rarely give you control over overlap, cut marks or the exact finished width.
Printers cannot print to the edge of a sheet, so every page has an unprintable margin. Without overlap those margins become gaps in the picture. Setting a few millimetres of overlap repeats a strip of image on both sheets so the trimmed edge lands inside the picture.
Yes, and that is the point. The image is scaled to the finished physical size you asked for and then divided across the sheets. The tool reports the effective dpi so you can see whether your source has enough detail for the size before you print it.
