Files

Drop PDFs, PNG, JPG or SVG files here, or choose files.

Files print in the order listed. Word, Pages and Google Docs files need to be exported as PDF first.

PDF is best. PNG should be 300 dpi at the finished size. SVG is turned into a 300 dpi image at its own size, so convert text to outlines first or the fonts may change.

Poster size Banner size Final width Final height Keep the shape of the first page Fit Overlap between sheets Printers cannot reach the paper edge, so tiles overlap and you trim the white strip.

Banners fill the width and crop the rest. Put your text at the top of the page and run the longest line edge to edge. For a tall banner, put it down the left side.

Six panels per brochure, three on each side. Longer files make several brochures.

Pages 1 to 8 on one sheet. Fold, make one cut in the middle, and fold again. Longer files make several zines.

Printer profile

Browsers cannot list printers or switch sides for you. When you press Open to print, your browser’s print dialog appears and that is where you choose the printer. The profile tells Print Desk what your printer can do.
