PDF output handling

Raster fallback DPI

Recommended for large PDFs. The preview draws lightweight imposed sheets and only renders tiny page thumbnails as they come into view. The full PDF is only built when you click download. Raster mode avoids flate/compression stream errors by using PDF.js rendering instead of vector PDF embedding. Choose Auto or Vector only if you need vector output for a clean PDF.

Presets

A recipe stores your sizes, spacing and marks so repeat-copy jobs can be set up quickly.

Open a PDF, PNG or JPG to begin. Nothing is uploaded - processing happens in your browser. Memory saver preview is on by default.

Download output normally uses embedded PDF/image artwork and vector crop marks. Raster compatibility mode avoids PDF vector-stream decoding, which prevents flate/compression errors on awkward PDFs. Auto and Vector modes remain available for clean PDFs. PDF TrimBox/BleedBox data is used for true bleed placement where available; optional PDF layers are rendered as appearance rather than preserved as separate editable layer toggles.
