Print ready PDF
Designs that are ready for the printer
Set a print size in millimetres or inches at the resolution you need, see the bleed and safe area while you design, and export a PDF with bleed and crop marks.
Print sizes done right
A4, A5, Letter, posters, business cards, postcards and invitations, or any custom size. Work at 300 DPI for sharp results.
- Units in px, mm or in with a chosen DPI
- Bleed and safe area guides on the canvas
- Standard and print PDF exports
Catch problems before you print
The preflight check looks for photos that are too low in resolution for their size, text too close to the trim and elements that should reach into the bleed.
- Low resolution photo warnings
- Text outside the safe area
- Crop marks placed outside the bleed

Questions.
Can I export CMYK?
Not yet. PDFs are RGB, which most online printers accept and convert. CMYK output is on our roadmap.
How much bleed is added?
3 mm by default, and you can change it.
Is the text in the PDF sharp?
Yes. Text and shapes stay vector in PDF exports.
