Rasterizer is a mobile tiled printing app for creating huge posters out of pictures on your mobile device. The app blows up images and allows them to be printed on multiple sheets to be taped together for making wall art. 1. Choose an image from your mobile device 2. Decide how big you want the poster to be 3. Select style options 4. Save the output as a PDF for printing If you don’t have the ability to print directly from your mobile device, you can share the file and send it to your PC. Tiled printing is a method that computer programs use to enable users to print images larger than a standard page, popularized by a program called The Rasterbator. A tiled printing program overlays a grid on the printed image in which each cell (or tile) is the size of a printed page and then prints each tile. A person can then arrange the tiles to reconstruct the full image.

With this app, an image can be printed as a large poster. The image is divided into several pages for this purpose. After printing, the white border must be cut off in order to assemble the individual pages into a poster. A thin border line is printed to help with the cutting. The pages are numbered barely visible at the bottom left to avoid confusion when putting together the poster. Printing of page numbers can be deactivated in the settings. The image is automatically rotated to better fit the paper size to reduce the number of pages needed. In the free version of this app, ads are displayed and the size of the poster is limited to 60 centimeters and 24 inches. The size limit can be extended with a one-time in-app purchase. The ads can be completely removed with another one-time in-app purchase. Please note that very large posters require a large number of pages to be printed. Please check the entered size in order not to waste paper unnecessarily.
