Alternative
A modern Block Posters alternative
Multi-language interface, higher-resolution output, no file size limits — and completely free. The fastest path from a photo on your phone to a wall-sized print.
Block Posters (.com) is the long-running, widely-known online block poster maker that has introduced millions of people to home poster printing. It works, and we respect it. But it was built for an older generation of the web and has a few hard limits that show their age.
Block Poster (.net) is a newer alternative, rebuilt from scratch. It ships with a 7-language interface, no file size limit, a modern live-preview editor, and a suite of companion tools — size calculator, paper size reference and image-to-PDF converter — in the same place.
If you have used Block Posters before, you will find Block Poster familiar in concept and instantly more capable in practice. Upload any image, configure your grid, and download a print-ready PDF with no watermark and no limits.
