Your printer asked for bleed and your file has none? Set the width they require below — any product, from business cards to banners — and download the fixed PDF. Files are deleted after processing.
Optional — tune the checks to your product. Locked once files are submitted.
Your report and proof appear here after you upload a file — free, no signup.
Filecheck does it automatically for every customer upload — on WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, OpenCart, or any site — before a bad file ever reaches your queue.
Type the number from your printer’s spec sheet — 3mm is common for small print, large format often wants 5–10mm. Pick how the new edge is filled: mirrored artwork, scaled artwork, or nothing.
Filecheck extends the artwork past the trim line and sets the trim and bleed boxes correctly — your design itself is never rescaled or moved.

Whatever your printer specifies — there is no universal number. 3mm (or 0.125in) is typical for cards and flyers; large-format work often wants 5–10mm. This tool lets you set the exact width instead of forcing a default on you.
“Mirror” reflects your artwork outward into the new bleed area (the usual choice — edges stay seamless after cutting). “Scale” enlarges the artwork slightly to cover the bleed. “None” extends the canvas without painting it.
No. The artwork stays exactly where it is; the tool extends the canvas beyond the trim line and fills the new margin. The trim and bleed boxes are set so the cutter knows where to cut.
Paper shifts slightly during cutting. Without bleed, a hairline of unprinted white can appear on the edge of every cut. Bleed gives the blade a margin of printed artwork to land in.

Validate a PDF against archival and accessibility standards — PDF/A-1b, 2b, 3b or PDF/UA — with every failed clause listed.
Convert screen-RGB artwork to press-ready CMYK with a real ICC profile — and see exactly how the colors will shift before you print.
Pad any product photo to a perfect square on a white background, strip EXIF data, and check it against marketplace listing rules.
