Question

Can I upload PNG files instead of PDFs for my print job?

Answer

PDF is the standard for print because it locks in fonts, color, and layout, but other formats can work for some products as long as the resolution and size are correct.

  • PDF is preferred for nearly every job and keeps text sharp and layout fixed.
  • PNG can be usable when it is high resolution, ideally 300 DPI at final size.
  • Requirements vary by product, so confirm compatibility before you upload.
  • Whatever the format, build at full size with the correct bleed and 300 DPI.
