How to split an image for making a poster?

[ajaybc]

I have designed a poster for an exibition at my college.Now I have to print it.It takes a lot of money to print large images as it cant be printed in normal printer available at my college.
So I intend to split the image into small parts (A4 sized) print it and then join them to make the poster.That way we can print it in normal printers.

Now the problem is IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE TO SPLIT IT INTO MANY A4 SIZED PARTS?
I searched for them online but found that they were not designed for this purpose.Many of them are used for just dividing the image such that it loads on webpages faster.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.I NEED A SOLN BEFORE TUESDAY(5-feb)....
Please.................

Why don't you do it without using additional softwares...?? In photoshop, you can mark guides at specific places, (for eg, if you want to print in A4, keep vertical guides at 8.27" position, 16.54" position etc and horizontal guides at 11.69, 23.38, etc.. 'coz A4 measures 8.27 x 11.69) and crop to that position, and save as separate picture.

One word of advice: If you are gonna make multiple prints and then paste all together, allow for overlap between the images, so that you can paste one over another.. Hope I made my point clearly..!!

I guess I have posted this online tool before somewhere.

Link: Block Posters
This free online tool will split the uploaded image and allows you to download PDF files of that.
