Create large posters or pictures (posters) to print

Everyone at home has or has had posters stuck on the wall! I’m talking about large printed images or posters that are often found in small evening markets or by street vendors in the historic centers of big cities, where there are enlarged posters of cinema films and great classics, sports characters, famous paintings, familiar faces, famous people, beautiful girls, written rules of life and so on. The posters often also make us think of the garbage that is posted on the walls during political elections or of advertising billboards and of choreographic ones for stadiums or concerts. In many schools, universities, and also, sometimes in companies and offices, it is customary to put up a motivational poster or a large poster with the basic rules, for example, of chemistry or economics on the walls.The poster is more than a photo, it is a large image that captures the eye and is easily remembered. Let’s see in this guide the best free programs to create posters, so you can print them from home and hang them exactly as they once did. In addition to the programs, we will also show you the sites where you can immediately download posters and posters free.

How to make posters and posters

Although the printing of a poster or even a large poster can be done with a normal color printer, I cannot underestimate the fact that it will consume a lot of ink. In addition to the simple photo, we can zoom in on an image or photo, maybe turning it into a vector image.

Programs to create posters and posters

To create a personalized poster on your computer starting from an image, some can be used free programs and alternatives.

The first program we can try is Rasterbator, available for download from the official website.

The software allows you to divide an image into small pieces to be printed on an A4 sheet, with the normal home printer, and then assembler manually. The use of the program is quite simple: you load the image by selecting it from those of the computer, you choose the size of every single box in which it will be broken up, you define the desired size of the poster, in width and height (you can even make a banner of 20 meters), specify the color settings and then proceed with printing.
Rasterbator creates huge images from any photo used.

Another program that we can use on PC is Easy Poster Printer, available for download from the Windows 10 Microsoft Store.

Easy Poster Printer is a great free Windows program, to print posters and large images from your PC even with a normal printer and A4 sheets (or even use larger sheets if possible). The program allows you to divide the high-resolution image or photo into many boxes and print them one after the other in different sheets which will then be reassembled and glued together. With it, you can print large posters up to 20 meters by 20.
