A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Resize guideFit and Stretch behave differently
Fit preserves proportions and may leave space. Stretch fills the target dimensions by changing the artwork’s proportions.
Enlargement does not add detail
A larger page can make low-resolution images more visible. Check photographic areas in a printed sample.
Will text stay sharp?
Yes. Pages are scaled as vectors, so text and lines stay crisp.
Mixed sizes in one file?
Every page is fitted to the same target size.
Is anything uploaded?
Everything runs in your browser. The file is never uploaded, and the download comes from the same engine that drew the preview.
Can I enter a custom width and height?
Yes. Choose Custom in the size selector and enter the required dimensions in millimetres.
Will resizing distort my design?
Fit preserves the aspect ratio. Stretch changes proportions to fill the target, so use it only when that is intended.
Can I scale by a percentage?
Yes. Choose By percent and enter the scale you need, then confirm the resulting page dimensions.
Keep your job moving
The right tool for the next step.
Crop
Cut pages down to the trim, to the bleed, or by a margin. The trim box is read from the file.
Poster
Blow a page up across 2×2, 3×3 or a target width of sheets, with overlap strips and an assembly map.
N-up
Several pages per sheet, in reading order. The sheet and the count are chosen to waste the least paper.
