photo raster printer

a free browser utility for creating photo rasters to print directly or save as pdf

how it works

  • no download required
  • your browser does all the work (using javascript):
    • no files are uploaded
    • no need to download result

usage

You probably don't need this - just try it out, it's easy!

Drag & drop photos (jpg or png) from your file explorer onto the orange boxes to insert them. The photos will be scaled to fit the box. After scaling, the photo will fill up the entire box and either width or height of your photo will fit exactly, while the other one will be clipped.

To move an photo around in its box just drag & drop it.

All measures are in millimeters (1 in = 25.4 mm).

The page width and height should be set according to the paper size you want to print the result in. Initial size is A4 (210mm x 297mm). See Wikipedia for common international and American paper sizes.

Each printer can a only print to a specific area of a paper, leaving a margin along the edges. Setting the printer margin reduces the effective paper size, so your printer does not have to clip or scale anything. In print preview mode you can see if your browser is scaling nevertheless, in that case make sure to disable auto-scaling (set to 100%).

Adjust the number of rows and columns by clicking the plus or minus buttons in the lower right corner.

printing

Use your browsers print option to save as pdf or print on paper. To save as pdf select a pdf-printer instead of an actual printer. On some operating systems (like windows 8 and older) you might need to install a pdf-printer first.
