When Add Bleed to PDF is the right tool

Extend PDF page geometry with bleed space for print finishing. Use it when artwork is meant to run past the final trim edge rather than stop exactly at the page boundary.

Common situations

  • Preparing full-bleed artwork before sending it to a printer
  • Adding room beyond the trim edge for cutting tolerance
  • Fixing a PDF that was exported without enough bleed

Three steps

  1. 1
    Add the PDF or source files needed for this task.
  2. 2
    Choose the page range and options that match the result you need.
  3. 3
    Process the job, review the result, then download the new file.

What to check before you download

Adding bleed changes page geometry but cannot invent artwork that was never present outside the original trim edge. Inspect the result at the final print size before production.

This tool requires server processing. Your PDF is uploaded temporarily to complete the job, and the result is returned as a new file.
