Print, CMYK & PDF

16-bit TIFF, ICC-managed CMYK separations and press-ready PDFs with bleed and crop marks.

A screen JPEG is not a print file. The output workspace handles the parts that matter to a printer: bit depth, ICC profile, CMYK conversion, bleed, crop marks and an honest effective-DPI estimate.

Use 16-bit TIFF or PNG when the next step is another editor, ICC-managed CMYK TIFF/JPEG for a separation workflow, or a PDF with bleed and crop marks for a direct press handoff. A custom CMYK ICC profile can be loaded for house standards.

What you can do

Print & CMYK, in detail.

Prepare photos for print in the browser. Export 16-bit TIFF or PNG, ICC-managed CMYK TIFF/JPEG, and RGB or CMYK PDFs with bleed, crop marks and effective-DPI checks.

01

High-bit-depth output

Write 16-bit or floating-point TIFF and PNG so tone and colour survive the next editing step.

02

ICC-managed CMYK

Convert RGB to CMYK through an ICC profile and export a CMYK TIFF or JPEG with the profile embedded where supported.

03

Custom press profiles

Load a house CMYK ICC profile instead of relying only on the built-in generic profile.

04

PDF with bleed

Export an RGB or CMYK PDF with bleed, crop marks and an output intent for a print-ready handoff.

05

Effective-DPI check

See the resolution the image will have at the chosen print size before committing to an export.

06

Full-resolution render

Print exports render the document at full resolution, not the reduced on-screen preview.

How it works

From file to finish in three moves.

No install step and no import queue. Open the editor, work on the document locally, and export the file your next tool expects.

Try it now
  1. 1

    Set the physical size

    Choose the print dimensions and check the effective DPI. Upscaling is available, but native resolution is always better.

  2. 2

    Choose colour and profile

    Stay in RGB for a digital press that handles conversion, or convert to CMYK with the printer’s ICC profile.

  3. 3

    Export the handoff

    Write a 16-bit TIFF, a CMYK TIFF/JPEG, or a PDF with bleed and crop marks.

Who it is for

Built for real photo work.

These are the workflows the tool is designed around — not a list of theoretical features.

  • Wedding album pages that need a 16-bit TIFF handoff to a lab.
  • Fine-art prints prepared with a custom CMYK profile.
  • Editorial or packaging work requiring a PDF with bleed and crop marks.
  • Agencies producing both RGB web files and CMYK print files from one document.
Questions

Print & CMYK FAQ

Straight answers about formats, privacy and limits.

Is the CMYK conversion a true ICC transform?

Yes. The pipeline uses ICC profiles to convert RGB into CMYK and can embed a custom press profile. The quality still depends on using the profile your printer actually requires.

Can I export a PDF with bleed and crop marks?

Yes. The PDF exporter supports bleed, crop marks and an output intent, in RGB or CMYK.

Does 16-bit export apply to JPEG?

No. JPEG is 8-bit by definition. Use 16-bit TIFF or PNG when bit depth matters.

Where do I get a CMYK ICC profile?

Ask your print lab or press operator for their profile, then load it in the colour settings dialog. A generic profile is bundled for previewing the workflow.

No upload. No account. No render queue.
