Test method
PosterTiler is checked using its local production build. Source-page statements are recorded separately from browser and exported-file observations. The image fixture is our generated 800 × 1000 pixel grid.jpg; the PDF fixture contains generated text and vector shapes.
- File processing and screenshot/PDF checks describe the tested local setup, not a promise about every browser or printer.
- Rasterbator.io browser navigation repeatedly timed out in this environment. Its published capabilities are kept separate from our output-file checks; this run does not establish a head-to-head print result.
- The PosterTiler renderer check compares source PDF pages with virtually reassembled output sheets. It does not measure paper emerging from a real printer.
What this comparison does not establish
No real printer measurements, paid cloud jobs, refund tests or genuine phone-device tests were performed for this comparison. Published file limits and cloud prices are source statements, not load-test or purchase results. Features and prices may change.
