A Browser-Based PosteRazor Alternative

PosteRazor and PrintTiler both solve the same practical problem: turning one image into a multi-page PDF that can be assembled as a large poster.

PosteRazor is a downloadable, open-source desktop workflow. PrintTiler is useful when you prefer to work directly in a browser without installing a poster-tiling application.
