4OVER4 Tools

Free Print Tools

Beta

Practical, print-connected tools for small businesses. Every size and standard we print to, with live previews and the real dimensions in inches, millimetres and pixels.

Wally, the 4OVER4 mascot

Between two print jobs, I built some tools. Then a few more. Okay, a lot of them. Help yourself.

Print Makers

The tools that hand you a finished piece rather than a number. Everything here runs in your browser, costs nothing, and comes out as a PDF laid out at the real size with cut lines.

Print File Prep

The tools that answer one question: is my file ready to print? Every figure comes from the 4OVER4 configurator, so nothing here describes a product we do not print.

Print Sizes and Standards

Twelve free tools covering every size and standard we print to. Each one draws the piece with its bleed and safe zone, gives you the dimensions in inches, millimetres and pixels, and links to the product that prints it and the free blank template that is already set up.

Image Tools for Print

Image tools aimed at one job: making artwork printable. Faithful engines only, so nothing invents detail in your logo or a customer's face, and every tool ends at the product that prints it.

Business and Branding Tools

The tools that sit either side of the artwork: what a mail campaign will cost, what the copy should say, and what your brand colours and fonts actually are.

Common questions

Are the 4OVER4 tools free?

Most are completely free and run in your browser with no account: every size guide, the file prep calculators, the QR and barcode generators, and the makers for menus, labels, tickets, invoices, calendars and collages. The tools that run on a paid engine cost coins, priced per result, and the first use of most of those is free.

Do I need an account?

No, except to save a QR code to your account or to spend coins. Everything else works straight away.

Is anything I upload kept?

The browser tools never upload anything at all: they work on the page. The tools that call an engine send the image, get the result back, and keep nothing.

What do the coins cost?

100 coins is one dollar. Most single-image results are 10 to 25 coins.

Do the sizes match what 4OVER4 prints?

Yes. Every size, stock and bleed figure is read from the product configurator, so nothing here describes a product or an option we do not print.

Can I use what these make commercially?

Yes. What you make is yours, and every font used is licensed for commercial use.

Why a size chart is not enough

Knowing that a business card is 3.5 x 2 inches does not get a file to press. The document has to be 3.75 x 2.25 inches, because of bleed. The text has to stop 0.125 inches inside the trim, because of the blade. The file has to be 1125 x 675 pixels, because of the resolution. A chart gives you one of those three numbers.

Every tool here gives you all of them, draws the piece with its bleed and safe zone so you can see what they mean, and links to the 4OVER4 product that prints it and to the free blank template that is already set up.

Already know what you need?

Skip the tools and go straight to the catalogue, or start from a blank template that is already the right size with the bleed built in.
