Bleed gives the printer extra image beyond the trim line so colour or photography can run to the edge.
Confirm your printer’s requested bleed and keep important text safely inside the trim margin.
Frequently asked questions
How much bleed do I need?
3 mm is common, but always follow the specification from your printer.
Does bleed change the finished size?
No. The finished size stays the same; bleed is trimmed away after printing.
Should I include bleed in image pixels?
Yes. Export the larger production pixel dimensions when you are supplying a raster file.
