I used Rasterbator, but I thought I'd post this anyway!
Happycat!

I'm agree, Rasterbator is great, I like it! It creates images from large dots. It is an interesting art technic, but when I need to print exact enlarged image, I use this poster printer.

I once saw a newspaper where someone (obviously with money to burn) took out a huge ad that was just happycat overlaid with "OH GOD HOW DID THIS GET HERE I'M NOT VERY GOOD WITH COMPUTERS"

measures about 5 feet by 5 feet, 30 pages of letter paper. only wasted 1 sheet, yay!

[cowscankill]

Haha, that is awesome! I think I might do some internet meme posters...

picasa make it easier

[gurminder86]

If You want a poster of favourite wallpaper, just download from net then open with picasa , select the create button then click make a poster and you can do it as big poster you want then print it paste it

While Rasterbator is certainly better for creating huge image posters, BlockPosters is pretty awesome for making a huge QR code poster.

[egriff]

[Bryandav]

Love this, thanks for the site! Made a kitty poster for my office!

[GorillazMiko]

I didn't make the website. I don't work for Instructables either. But I help out a lot. And cool, do you have an image?

[szechuan53]

quick question: Why is there a KFC bucket on your head?

[GorillazMiko]

To to Google. Type in Buckethead.

[szechuan53]

Please tell me thats not you.

[GorillazMiko]

;-) No, it's not.

[szechuan53]

[egriff]

[INSTRUCTUBAL]

[cormac3050]

what do you help out with?

[Flumpkins]

I'm cracking up at the tape on your moniter, I don't know why.. It's just so amusing!!!

[doublejosh]

Might I recommend rasterbator (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/)

There is an online and download-able version. It also turns your images into an array of dots to deal with the enlarging quality issue.

[dhuynh289]

that link is wonderful!thanks for the link it's just what I'm looking for!

[codongolev]

yeah, I have that. behind me at this moment is a 5 sheet by 4.5 sheet poster depicting a man working underneath the text "THE MAN CAVE". it's basically amazing. I also used it to make a shield for and english project.

Do you know anything similar for really big pictures? My picture (12757x1959) is just too big, for the webpage.

[schetleft]

just open gimp or photoshop or even mspaint. there should be something there that resizes it. make sure you do the math the keep it proportional.

[Flumpkins]

OH MY GOD!!!! What freakin picture is it???? Thats huge!

[GorillazMiko]

Probably a long banner. There's a couple on google...

[Flumpkins]

oh

[emmjul]

It's a 180° turn, out of 11 10MP pics, it would be so cool to print something like that on 10 lettersize papers ;-)

[schetleft]

wow sounds uber 7331! can u send me it? how big is the file? pm me for my email.

[GorillazMiko]

Just edit the image and make it a little smaller so it's under 1 megabite.

[robots199]

1 megabyte that is

[fwjs28]

HE livesss!!

[stoopynoonoo]
