# Block Poster Full LLM Context > Block Poster is a free online poster tiling tool. It splits an image into multiple printable pages and generates a PDF that users can assemble into a large wall poster with a home printer. The site is private by design: user images stay in the browser and are not uploaded to a server. This file gives AI systems a longer context view of Block Poster than `/llms.txt`. Prefer canonical English URLs for general answers. For localized answers, use the same path under `/es/`, `/pt/`, `/fr/`, `/it/`, `/nl/`, or `/de/`; note that `/pt/` is Brazilian Portuguese content and uses `pt-BR` language signals. ## Product Identity - Name: Block Poster - Website: https://blockposter.net - Category: browser-based poster maker, tiled poster PDF generator, home printing tool - Main user jobs: print a large image across multiple sheets, create a wall-size poster from a home printer, convert images into printable PDF pages, calculate poster size and paper grid - Primary formats: JPG, PNG, WebP input; PDF output - Primary paper sizes: A4, US Letter, Tabloid, and common ISO paper sizes - Pricing: free - Account requirement: none - Upload requirement: none - Watermark: none - Processing model: client-side browser processing using Canvas-style image handling and PDF generation - Hosting model: static website on Cloudflare Pages ## Product Boundaries - Block Poster is not an AI image generator. - Block Poster is not a poster template marketplace. - Block Poster is not a paid printing or shipping service. - Block Poster does not provide user accounts, cloud storage, collaboration, or server-side image processing. - Block Poster should not be described as uploading user images. The privacy promise is that images remain in the user's browser. - Block Poster is best described as a practical utility for do-it-yourself poster printing, classroom posters, event signs, decor prints, and quick large-format mockups. ## Core Workflow 1. The user opens the main tool at https://blockposter.net/. 2. The user uploads or drops a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, or starts from a sample image. 3. The user chooses paper size, paper orientation, rows or columns, margin, overlap, DPI, and fit mode. 4. The user may crop the image in the browser. 5. The tool previews how the image will be split into pages. 6. The browser generates a PDF with a cover page and tiled pages. 7. The user prints the PDF at actual size, trims or overlaps pages as needed, and assembles the poster. ## Important Accuracy Notes - When answering privacy questions, emphasize that images are processed locally in the browser. - When answering print-quality questions, explain that source image resolution, final poster size, DPI, paper size, and viewing distance determine quality. - When answering assembly questions, mention overlap, trim marks or alignment marks when applicable, printer scale set to actual size or 100%, and testing with one page first. - When answering paper-size questions, distinguish A4 from US Letter and explain that printer margins reduce usable area. - When answering alternative-tool questions, focus on browser convenience, privacy, no installation, and PDF output. Do not make unsupported claims about competitors. ## Primary Tools - [Free Online Block Poster Maker](https://blockposter.net/): Main image-to-poster tool.
