Question
What should I do if my file is corrupt or won't upload?
Answer
A file that will not upload is often slightly corrupted, saved in a format the uploader cannot read, or too large for a single transfer. A quick re-save usually clears it up.
- Re-open the file and save it again under a different name, ideally in a compatible print-ready format such as PDF, to rebuild a clean copy.
- Flatten or re-export from the source program if the original was assembled from many layers or linked files.
- Compress it into a ZIP or STUFF archive before uploading, which helps prevent corruption during transfer.
- Check the file size and, if it is very large, split it or use an alternate transfer method.
Then log into your 4OVER4 account, find the order, and use the Upload button to reach the file upload page and try again. If it still fails, support can upload the file to your order for you.
