Poster size planning
Poster Size Calculator in CM and Inches
Use PrintTiler to plan poster sizes in both centimeters and inches before you print. The calculator flow helps you compare paper sizes, rows, columns, and finished poster dimensions.
This is useful when you have a wall space, frame size, classroom board, or event display area and need to know which paper grid will fit.
How poster size is calculated
For tiled printing, poster size comes from the paper dimensions multiplied by the rows and columns in the grid. A4, Letter, and other paper sizes produce different final dimensions.
PrintTiler lets you compare those options, then open a matching editor layout with the paper, rows, columns, and units already set.
