Frequently asked questions

What sizes and resolutions can I download?

A4 is 210×297 mm at 2480×3508 pixels; A3 is 297×420 mm at 3508×4961 pixels. The 2:3 option is 8×12 inches at 2400×3600 pixels. These are approximately 300 pixels per inch at the stated sizes. Enlarging the 2:3 image to 24×36 inches reduces its resolution to 100 pixels per inch.

Should I choose PDF or PNG for printing?

Choose PDF when you want the selected physical page size preserved. Print at 100% / Actual size, not Fit to page. PNG contains the image pixels; set the intended dimensions when placing it in another app or ordering a print.

Does the PDF include bleed or CMYK color?

No. The PDF contains the poster artwork at the chosen page size, without added bleed. Colors come from the browser canvas, not a CMYK proofing workflow. Ask your print shop about its bleed, color and margin requirements before ordering.

Can I print A3 on an A4 printer?

A true-size A3 poster needs A3 paper or a print service that supports it. A printer may scale it down to A4, but it will no longer be A3. This tool does not split a large poster across several sheets.

About the output

The PDF contains a single image on a page set to the selected print size. Its text is not editable, and it does not include bleed or CMYK conversion.

Print at Actual size or 100% on matching paper. A printer’s unprintable margins may crop the edges. The PNG has pixel dimensions; use the PDF when physical size matters.
