Tiled → Plotter Converter

Indie sewing patterns typically ship as two PDFs: a tiled version (48 pages of Letter/A4) for home printing, and a wide-format version (one large page) for plotters or print shops. If your pattern only includes the tiled version, this tool creates the wide-format version for you.

Upload the tiled PDF, tell us the grid dimensions (e.g., 6 pages wide × 8 pages tall), and we'll assemble them into a single page. The result is a standard PDF that you can send directly to your plotter.

Most patterns tell you the grid in the instructions — look for something like "print pages 1–48, assemble 6 wide × 8 tall." If not, check the page numbers printed in the margins of the tiles, or look at the assembly diagram included with the pattern.

If you can't find it, the tool suggests grids based on the page count. For example, a 48-page PDF could be 6×8, 8×6, 4×12, etc. Try the most likely one — for a dress pattern, the taller grid (more rows than columns) is usually correct.

By default, pages are placed edge-to-edge including their margins. This leaves thin white strips between tiles — which is fine for most plotters (the content is correctly positioned).

For a tighter result, use the advanced options: set trim margin to your printer's non-printable margin (usually 0.25") and overlap to the amount shared between adjacent pages (usually 0.5"). This clips the margins and aligns the content edge-to-edge.
