Art that stops at the trim edge is mirrored (or stretched, or repeated) outward by the bleed you choose, and the page boxes are set so any imposition reads them.
What add bleed does
Art that stops at the trim edge is mirrored (or stretched, or repeated) outward by the bleed you choose, and the page boxes are set so any imposition reads them.
The normal workflow
- 1Open your file. Drop a PDF (or PNG/JPEG) in — Add Bleed reads the page size and count and suggests a starting setup.
- 2Check the auto layout. The sheet, count and marks are picked for you. The live preview shows exactly what will print.
- 3Adjust what matters. Change only the settings that need it — everything else stays on its suggested value.
- 4Export the result. Download a print-ready PDF, or send it straight to print — processed locally, nothing uploaded.

Related tools
- Crop Marks — Trim and registration marks placed from the page boxes. The sheet grows just enough to hold them.
- Color Bar — Add a CMYK control strip outside the artwork.
- Merge — Combine PDFs into one — reorder, pick pages, interleave or insert blanks.
- Split — One file into many: every page, every N pages, or spreads cut into single pages.
- Rotate — Turn all, odd or even pages by a quarter, half or three-quarter turn.
- Resize — Every page to a standard size, or scaled by a percentage — proportions kept unless you say otherwise.
