There are two simple methods available for turning your digital pictures and photographs into poster-size images. You can either download a software that converts pictures of any size into quality poster-size images or you can use one of the free online sites that convert digital pictures into poster-size images. The software download and the online program work the same way and both are available for free.
Instructions
1. Download a poster software, such as PosteRazor, to your computer. Open the program setup and follow the installation process.
2. Open PosteRazor on your computer or go to a website that does the same thing, such as Block Posters. To get started on Block Posters, click where it says "Click Here to Start." The online program and the downloaded program work in roughly the same way.
3. Upload your picture file. On Block Posters, browse under "Select an image" for your file and click "Continue." In PosteRazor, browse for the file under "Input image" and click "Next."
4. Change the orientation to either portrait or landscape. This option is available in "Step 2" on Block Posters. In PosteRazor, orientation is selected on the "Standard" tab in the second step. When you are finished, click "Next."
5. Alter the size of your poster. On Block Posters, you can select how many page widths you want your image to be, such as four or five times the width of the page. This is done along with orientation selection in Step 2. When you are finished, click "Continue." The size is changed in Step 4 on PosteRazor. You can alter the size like you do in Block Posters, by page width, or you can type in a specific size.
6. Save the poster to your computer. On Block Posters, you will be able to download a copy of your poster in PDF format. In Step 5 of PosteRazor, click on the disk image beneath "Save Poster." You will be able to select the folder where you would like to save the poster and name the poster image. Now the poster is available for printing.
