# Posterize PDF
|
||||
|
||||
Divide each page of a PDF into a grid of smaller sub-pages. This is the tool for printing a single page across multiple sheets of paper, which you then tile together to create a large poster or banner.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Upload a PDF file.
|
||||
2. Set the number of **rows** and **columns** to define the grid (e.g., 2 rows x 2 columns splits each page into 4 sub-pages).
|
||||
3. Optionally specify a page range to limit which pages get posterized.
|
||||
4. The preview canvas shows a grid overlay on the current page so you can visualize the cuts.
|
||||
5. Navigate between pages to check the overlay on different pages.
|
||||
6. Click the process button. Each grid cell becomes its own page in the output PDF.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Configurable row and column count for flexible grid sizes
|
||||
- Live preview with grid overlay showing exactly where pages will be divided
|
||||
- Page range filter to posterize only specific pages
|
||||
- Page-by-page navigation in the preview
|
||||
- Cached page snapshots for fast preview navigation
|
||||
- Dashed red grid lines clearly mark the cut boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Description |
|
||||
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Rows** | Number of horizontal divisions (default: 1) |
|
||||
| **Columns** | Number of vertical divisions (default: 1) |
|
||||
| **Page range** | Which pages to posterize (blank = all pages) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Printing a poster-sized PDF across standard A4 or Letter sheets to assemble on a wall
|
||||
- Creating large banners from a single-page PDF design
|
||||
- Splitting oversized technical drawings into printable tiles
|
||||
- Making large-format prints without access to a wide-format printer
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- A 2x2 grid turns one page into 4 pages. A 3x3 grid turns one page into 9. Plan your grid based on how large you want the final assembled output.
|
||||
- The preview overlay helps you verify that important content does not fall on a cut line. Adjust rows/columns if needed.
|
||||
- For the reverse operation (fitting multiple pages onto one sheet), use [N-Up PDF](./n-up-pdf).
