About Tarpapel Maker for A4
This is the tarpapel maker with A4 (210 × 297 mm) already selected — the paper used by most printers worldwide and in many Philippine offices and schools. Upload your photo or banner design, choose how many sheets across and down (or type the finished size in feet or centimetres), drag the crop box, and download a PDF with one A4 sheet per page.
Every sheet carries cut marks, a 10 mm overlap strip with a dashed guide for gluing, and its row/column number, and page 1 is an assembly map. For a 3 × 4 ft tarpapel on A4 you need 25 sheets (5 across × 5 down). Print at 100% / Actual size on A4 paper and the sheets line up exactly. Nothing is uploaded — the PDF is built in your browser.
How to make a tarpapel online
- 1Upload your photo or design (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or BMP). For best results use the largest version you have — at least 2,000 px wide for a 3-sheet-wide banner.
- 2Choose the paper you will print on: A4, Long / Folio (8.5 × 13 in), Letter / Short, Legal, or A3, and portrait or landscape.
- 3Set the size — either "By sheets" (for example 3 across × 4 down) or "Exact size" (for example 3 × 4 ft, or use the quick-size chips). The tool shows the finished size in cm and feet, the sheet count, and a sharpness rating.
- 4Drag the crop box over your photo to pick what gets printed, or switch to "Fit whole photo" to keep everything with white borders. Check the sheet layout preview.
- 5Click "Create tarpapel PDF", then Download. Print the PDF at 100% / Actual size (never "Fit to page"), cut along the marks, overlap on the dashed guide lines, and tape at the back. Page 1 walks you through it.
