How to resize a poster for print

Drop in a PDF, PNG or JPG — or several at once. Pick a standard print size or type a custom one, choose how the file should fit (Crop, Stretch or 50/50), then download. Scaylr reads the real resolution of your file and rates it against the size you picked, so you know before you print whether it will come out sharp.

Made for Etsy and Shopify poster sellers

Print-on-demand partners and local print shops all want a specific pixel size at a specific DPI, and a design file that's the wrong ratio gets cropped in ways you didn't choose. This tool is built for the poster and wall-art workflow: drop your master file once, generate every size your listing needs, and see a real quality warning before a print comes out blurry — not after a customer complains.

FAQ

Is this poster resizer really free?
Yes — resizing PDFs, PNGs and JPGs for print is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert. Scaylr makes money from its mockup generator, not this tool.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser using Canvas and PDF.js. Your PDF, PNG or JPG is never sent to a server — it stays on your device the whole time.
What's the difference between Crop, Stretch and 50/50?
Crop trims the edges to fit the new size with no distortion — drag to choose what stays. Stretch distorts the whole image to fill the size exactly. 50/50 is a middle ground: it crops away half of the excess, then gently stretches the rest, so it's less cropping than Crop and less distortion than Stretch.
How do I know if my print will look sharp?
Each file gets a quality badge based on its real source resolution at the size you picked: green means good for print, amber means fine for smaller prints, and red warns you before you download that it may look blurry. A vector PDF is always sharp, whatever size you choose.
