Tool details and privacy
Turn a finished print size into the file size you need with bleed, see the safe area for text, and get the pixel size at 300 DPI.
Printers trim a little off every edge. Bleed and a safe area keep that cut from showing.
Options
- Blank bleed is 3 mm and blank safe inset is 5 mm. Sizes go up to 2,000 mm.
Limits
- Ask your printer for its own bleed. Some want 2 or 5 mm.
- This does not make a print-ready PDF.
