Your printer takes A4 or Letter. The thing you want to print is a metre wide. Docuslice is what sits between those two facts.
It takes one image or PDF, works out how to divide it across a grid of ordinary sheets, and gives you a file to print. You print the sheets on the printer you already own, cut the edges, and tape them together into one large piece. This is called tiled printing, and it is the only thing Docuslice does — everything else on this site is a detail of it.
What people use it for
- Posters and wall art — a photo, a film poster, a band print, at whatever size the wall wants
- Banners and signs — shop signage, event backdrops, market stalls
- Sewing and craft patterns — printed at true 1:1 scale, which is the whole point of the pattern
- Blueprints and technical drawings — plans and schematics at a readable size
- Maps — trail, city or site maps big enough to mark up
- Classroom displays — timelines, diagrams, alphabets
- Protest placards
- Wedding and party decorations — seating charts, welcome boards, photo backdrops
Anything where the finished piece is larger than a sheet of paper and the budget for a plotter is nil.
How the process actually goes
- Add your image or PDF to the canvas.
- Choose the paper you are printing on — Letter, A4, or any of the 30 supported sizes.
- Decide what is fixed: the number of sheets, or the finished size. That is the grid mode or size mode choice.
- Set the export options that affect the physical result — margin, cut lines, page numbers.
- Export as a PDF or as images, and print.
- Cut and tape.
Create your first poster walks that through end to end with the decisions explained as they arrive.
What runs where
Docuslice is the same editor in four places: a browser, a desktop app for Mac and Windows, an Android app and an iOS app. The paper sizes and the export options are identical everywhere. The canvas differs in a few places — a zoom slider on the browser, templates on mobile — and the page for each feature says which platforms have it.
The browser, Android and iOS apps are free. The desktop app is the one that needs a paid plan (Pro+).
The tiling and the export run on your device. Your image is not uploaded to a server to be sliced, on any platform — including the AI image enhancement, which runs on the device too.
What it does not do
- It does not print. Docuslice produces the file; your printer's own dialog does the printing, and the settings there matter — see print settings that matter.
- It does not stitch a poster back together for you. The cutting and taping are yours, though overlap exists to make them forgiving.
- It does not sync projects between your devices.
