Photo zoom Pro is very good. Also educating the client on their expectations versus quality and size of their photos.
We try to have our client provide the original image, then inspect it and tell them the truth about how their print quality may turnout.
Last, print samples on cheap vinyl and show your client prior to wasting time and ink printing less than quality wall murals.
We also always educate about using vector art for the best results, but will print whatever it is they want, with their approval on these types of questionable quality wall wraps.

What software is best to take a large mural or pic and break it into selected size say for floor tile sizes to print out.

You're rip should do that. What software do you normally use?

Shutter Stock has all you need.
Just spend a few more dollars and get the right size file.

I print things. It is very exciting.
I recommend sending it to a professional printing company to handle.

I have to say this is just absolutely incorrect if you mean images more than 150ppi?
That was true 30 years ago, not today.
Whether you are photographing originals at too low of resolution or suggesting to downsample before ripping, wildly incorrect. Color gamut, density, color space shifts, out of gamut handling, black level densities, gradients, literally everything will be sacrificed with that method.
Modern rips are nothing short of color management magic. Many printers run extended gamut pigments and channels. Variable dot output can achieve apparent HD resolution on top of over 90% of the reasonably expected Pantone book.
Just saying.

Well, we're after a 240" x 120" print area using the attached file. A wallpaper size showed the crop zone after choosing the final dimension, so I'm attaching a PNG with the area of the image I chose for output. My email is lreed@abcoinc.com. I appreciate the help!

The challenge is that our client wants to use their own image, not a stock image.

Gigapixel is magic! We're going to add that to our toolbox. The output was amazing.

check out topazlabs (topazlabs.com) pricy software but does the trick - i've used their products in the past , they run promos all the time this is not an ad or endorsement just a suggestion to solve your problem

Upsize using onOne or similar to say 30% of actual print size, put in rip and let the rip take it up to 100% size, print a small sample section from that file to see if it works. Rips can be very good at upsizing if the original is good.
This way you can also maintain resolution rather than reducing it.

Topaz Gigapixel AI is terrific, I find.
However I often only use the 2x enlargement.
It sharpens what needs preserving, blurs that which is blurry, and removes pixellation.

or at least claim to be?

The client wanted to choose from their own collection of images. Gigapixel was the solution for our problem. The image is printed at 240”x120” and trimmed out to 5 panels. The client will be pleased at the results.
