Questions, answered.
Is the PDF print checker free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is checked in your browser and stays on your device.
What is bleed?
Bleed is extra picture around the edge of the page, usually 3 mm, that is trimmed off after printing so no white line is left at the edge.
What DPI do I need for print?
About 300 DPI at the printed size is ideal. Below 150 DPI pictures can look soft or blocky.
Is the check a guarantee?
No. It is a helpful first check. We always check your file again before printing.
