Free preflight check
A preflight check is the fastest way to find out whether an image or PDF is likely to be rejected before it reaches a print queue. It looks for practical production issues: resolution at the final size, missing bleed, transparency, document structure, and file integrity.
This free check is useful for AI artwork, print-on-demand uploads, flyers, posters, stickers, and sign files. It does not replace the printer proof, but it gives you a plain-English report before you spend money on production or credits on file preparation.
If the scan finds a problem, the next step is specific: pick the final size, decide whether the image should contain, cover, or stretch into the trim box, then export a print-ready file with the right bleed, crop marks, and format.
File check
Awaiting artwork — drop a file to scan resolution, bleed, color, fonts, and integrity.
