Before you upload — what makes a print-ready file

Preparing the file yourself avoids any unnecessary fees or delays. Not sure about something? Open the walkthroughs below, or just ask us — we are happy to help.

  • Priority #1 — your document size IS the final printed (trim) size. A 4 × 6 card is built on a 4 × 6 page, not on letter paper. Exact steps per app ▾
  • 1/8" bleed (0.125") if any color or image runs to the edge
  • Keep text 1/4" (0.25") in from the cut — on business cards 1/8"–3/16" is fine
  • 300 dpi or better on photos and scans
  • CMYK color, not RGB
  • A PDF — not a PNG. Ideally PDF/X-4:2010 from Adobe, or “Best for Print” from Canva
  • Single-sheet spreads, one page per side — crop marks welcome
Priority #1 — how to set your document to the final print size (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Affinity, Canva)

Set this before you design. Everything else — bleed, margins, resolution — hangs off having the page the right size to begin with. These steps cover the size only; adding bleed and keeping text in from the cut are in the walkthroughs below.

  • PhotoshopFile > New. Units: Inches. Width/Height = final size (e.g. 4 × 6). Resolution 300 ppi. Color Mode CMYK. Create.
  • IllustratorFile > NewPrint tab. Units: Inches. Width/Height = final size. Color Mode CMYK. Create. — the artboard is your final size
  • InDesignFile > New > DocumentPrint tab. Units: Inches. Width/Height = final size. Create. — uncheck Facing Pages for single pieces
  • Affinity (Publisher / Designer / Photo)File > New. Pick a Print preset, or type Width/Height = final size in inches. DPI 300. Color format CMYK. Create.
  • CanvaCreate a design > Custom size. Switch the unit dropdown from px to in. Enter Width/Height = final size. Create new design. — free Canva cannot resize a design later — that is a Pro feature — so get this right before you start

Not sure what your final size should be? Tell us the finished piece you want — we will confirm the exact dimensions before you build anything.

Does your job need a bleed? Not sure what a bleed is? Watch a short walkthrough

A bleed is a little extra artwork past the finished edge — about 1/8" — so that when we cut the stack there is no thin white sliver along the side. You only need it when color or a photo is meant to run right off the edge; if your design sits on white with a margin, no bleed is needed. The text margin is the opposite idea: keep type in from the cut so nothing important gets trimmed off.
