ⓘ Pocket Zone:The pocket strip at the bottom shows artwork upside-down on purpose. When the folder is assembled the pocket folds UP, so the art prints flipped here and lands right-side up on the finished folder. Use the 3D preview to see how it'll actually look.
⚠ Resolution:Uploaded images should be 300 DPI minimum at their printed size for sharp output. Low-res images may look sharp on screen but print blurry.

Content-Aware Fill
1. Click the FILL button to activate. 2. Drag a rectangle over what you want to erase. 3. Click Apply Fill — surrounding pixels fill the area.
Edges blend softly into the background (feathered). Works best on solid, gradient, or repeating textures. Result is a new layer — undo with the UNDO button.
Clone Stamp
Step 1: Click anywhere on the canvas to mark the source point (blue circle appears).
Step 2: Drag a rectangle where you want to paste the cloned pixels.
Copies real canvas pixels — perfect for covering leftover corners or matching brick, wood, and pattern textures. Undo with UNDO.

🎨 Designer Quick Guide
Here’s how everything works — re-open anytime with the ? button.
🎨
Design Canvas
The large center area is your canvas. Drag & drop image files or PDFs directly onto it to add artwork instantly.
🧰
Left Tool Strip
Click any icon (STYLE, TMPL, PHOTOS, TEXT, COLOR, SHAPES, FILL, LAYERS) to open that panel. Click it again to close. FILL lets you erase and replace an area with surrounding pixels.
🔍
Zoom & Pan
Use the Zoom slider or FIT button in the top bar. Ctrl+scroll also zooms. Press F to fit the canvas to the workspace.
📷
Upload Photos & Logos
Click PHOTOS on the left strip then “Upload a photo or PDF.” JPG, PNG, SVG, and PDF all work. Images need 300 DPI minimum for sharp printing.
✎
Add & Edit Text
Click TEXT on the left strip, then “Add a heading” or “Add body text.” Click any text on the canvas to select and move it.
📦
Background Templates
Click TMPL to apply a pre-made background, or upload your own full-bleed artwork as a template.
◧
Content-Aware Fill
Click FILL on the left strip. Drag a rectangle over anything you want to erase. Click “✔ Apply Fill” — surrounding pixels fill the area with rounded, feathered edges so no rectangular seam is visible. Use CLONE afterward to touch up any remaining corners.
⎓
Clone Stamp (Eyedropper Copy)
Click CLONE on the left strip. Step 1: click the canvas to set the source point (blue circle). Step 2: drag a rectangle where you want to paste — the canvas pixels around the source are copied there exactly. Great for covering fill corners or matching repeating textures.
📄
Dielines
The fold & bleed guide lines. Toggle them with “Dielines: ON/OFF” in the top bar. They always appear in your PDF proofs.
📦
3D Preview
Click the “3D ▶” tab on the right edge to open a live 3D folder preview. Drag to spin it. Click “⧽ Enlarge 3D” to view it full screen.
💾
Save & Load Your Design
Click the 💾 button (top-right) to save your design as a file. Use 📁 to reload it later and keep editing.
⇓
Download PDF Proofs
Click “⇓ PDF” in the top bar when your design is ready. You’ll get 2 files: one with dielines and one print-ready.
⚙
Order & Pricing
Click the “⚙ Order & Pricing” bar at the bottom of the designer to expand it. Choose your options, quantity, then click Add to Cart.
⛶
Full-Screen Mode
Click “⛶ Enlarge Designer” in the top bar to open the designer in a full-screen popup for more canvas space.
🖨 Print Preview — review before downloading
This is exactly what will be sent to the press. Check that all text reads correctly, no logos are cut off, and the dieline (red lines) sits where you expect.
✏️ Editable PDF (beta)
Editable PDFs are for working with designers/prepress. For guaranteed exact printing, use the Press-Ready flattened PDF. Fonts are embedded; verify text before printing.
Text stays selectable where the font can be embedded; shapes export as true vector paths; anything that can’t be vectorized is rasterized at 300 DPI inside the PDF — nothing is dropped. Bleed auto-extension applies to the background only in this beta.
How each element will export:
✨ Vectorize Logo (beta)
Compare the traced vector against your original. Vectorized logos stay razor-sharp at any print size and export as true vector art in the Editable PDF. Photos and complex logos won't trace well — this works best on flat 1–4 color logos.
ORIGINAL (raster)
TRACED (vector SVG)

This canvas is 18″×12″ at 100 pixels/inch. Uploaded images must have their own resolution of at least 300 DPI at their printed size. A logo placed at 4″ wide needs at least 1,200 px of native width. Images that look sharp on screen can still print blurry.
👀
Check every image for blurriness
Zoom into your design and inspect each image carefully. If anything looks soft or pixelated, replace it with a higher-resolution version before downloading.
↔
Resizing may distort images
Stretching an image larger than its original dimensions reduces print quality. Use vector artwork (SVG or PDF) for the best results.
☑
Final checklist before you submit
All images are sharp and high-resolution at their printed size
