Add Crop Marks to PDF
Add printer crop marks, bleed and registration marks to your PDF. Download a file ready for professional printing and prepress — everything happens in your browser, the file is not uploaded.
What it does: Bleed (extra margin) is added around every page, and crop marks are drawn outside it so the print shop can cut each page to the correct size. 3 mm bleed is the standard for professional printing.

Tips
- A 3 mm bleed is the standard most print shops expect — check with your printer first.
- Crop marks are only needed for files going to a press; skip them for screen reading.
- Make sure the marks do not overlap important content near the page edges.
