CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOL

Rasterbator or PaperMan?

Both tools help you make a large poster with an everyday printer. The Rasterbator is known for its halftone dot effects and also offers other styles. PaperMan focuses on image tiling, exact finished dimensions, and checking each sheet before printing.

BEFORE YOU PRINT

Your questions, answered.

Is PaperMan the same as The Rasterbator?

No. PaperMan is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Rasterbator. Both can turn an image into a multi-page poster PDF.

Can I use this as a free Rasterbator alternative?

Yes, if you want to print an image across several sheets. Choose your paper size, set your finished poster size, and download the PDF from the tool above.

Does this tool create the Rasterbator dot effect?

Not currently. PaperMan preserves your image rather than converting it into halftone dots. If that dot-based wall-art style is your goal, The Rasterbator provides those effects.

Can I make a poster exactly 60 × 90 cm?

Yes. Enter a width of 60 cm. Height follows the image proportions automatically. To set both dimensions independently, enable Crop to a custom shape under More print settings, then enter 60 × 90 cm. PaperMan calculates the sheets needed and marks the finished edges. Trim unused paper on the last row and column, and print at 100% to preserve the dimensions.

Will the image get sharper when enlarged?

No. Enlarging an image does not add detail. Check the effective DPI in the preview. Use a larger source image or reduce the poster size if you need more detail at close viewing distances.

What can I upload and how should I print?

Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 40 MB and 40 megapixels. Match the selected paper size to your printer, print at Actual Size / 100%, and test one page before printing the whole poster.
