Print Prep Lab Check images
Multi-image print triage

One print target.
Every image checked.

Drop a folder-sized selection of images and compare the real pixel dimensions, fill crop, effective PPI and best orientation against one print target. Nothing is uploaded; the browser reads each image locally.

Batch decision board

Compare the set before you export it.

Choose the print target once. Each image gets its own effective PPI, crop, safe-size recommendation and standard-size alternatives, while the common-size optimizer looks for one stronger target for the whole set.

02A Specification profile optional

A profile can set the shared PPI target for this batch. Bleed, safe area, color and export notes carry into Studio when you open an individual result.

03 Placement

Auto orientation tests portrait and landscape and picks the stronger result for each image. It does not rotate or modify the file.

Batch decision

No images loaded

Add images to see which files are ready, which are close and which need a smaller print or revised target.

Drop a set of images to build the comparison board.

The browser will read pixel dimensions, create temporary local thumbnails, calculate safe print limits and compare the set against common standard sizes.

How the batch decision works

Same math as a single job, repeated consistently.

01

Read real pixels

Each selected file is decoded locally to get its actual raster width and height. File size in megabytes and stored DPI tags are not used as a substitute for pixel dimensions.

02

Resolve orientation

Auto mode evaluates both target orientations for each image and uses the stronger placement. Fixed mode keeps the target exactly as entered.

03

Crop before PPI

Fill mode calculates the ratio crop first and then divides the remaining usable pixels by the printed inches. Fit mode keeps the full source and measures the fitted image footprint.

04

Choose a safer size

The board calculates a same-ratio safe footprint at the selected target, compares standard sizes per image, and looks for the largest listed size the full batch can share before you inspect critical files in Studio.
