Karl Gechlik — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:00:20 +0000

Have you ever wanted to create a poster on your little printer but never thought you could due to size issues? Well that is where Easy Poster Printer comes in. It lets you load up an image to printed as a poster and it will setup a grid with 8 1/2 x 11 pieces so you CAN print that poster out but you WILL need glue or tape to put them all together! There is a technical term for tiled-printing and it is called rasterbation (insert snarky joke here).

Features:

Dutch and English Interface options.
Create ANY size poster using normal A4 paper to a max of 20 meters by 20 meters.
Save your poster and share it with others.
Print or Preview any page at any time.
Load, Clear, Rotate or Flip the poster image on the fly.
Define your poster size in Millimeters, Centimeters, Inch or even pages.
Adjust the poster size using build-in snap algorithms for up or down size.
See your posters as thumbnails in Windows Explorer (Vista or later only).
Save your own custom formats for easier reproduction.
Make high quality posters from regular images (super resample algorithm) (150-600 DPI).
Use Drag And Drop for both data-files and image-files.
Change background color.
Copy and Paste images directly into the poster.

AutoTracer: Make Vector Graphics Online

jpot — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 22:42:36 +0000

Vector graphics are immensely useful—they’re extremely scalable and are perfect for logos. They can also be quite expensive to produce, typically requiring someone trace a given image by hand or some very expensive software. AutoTracer.org aims to provide a free, web-based conversion tool capable of converting the images.

To make vector graphics simply upload your picture, select your output and hit “Send file.” In a few minutes you’ll be given a larger image for download. The quality of the output will vary, of course—even AutoTracer’s own “About” page admits every program requires some post-processing. So don’t expect the same level of quality you would from a human tracer—think of it more as a good starting point.

Features:

Free online vectorizer
Converts PNG, BMP, JPEG or GIF to vector formats
Outputs to SVG, PDF and EP.
Similar tool: Magnigraph and VectorMagic.
