Print Prep Lab Plan a print
Flagship planning workspace

Plan the whole print job,
not one number at a time.

Bring the source pixels, final trim, crop position, PPI target and printer margins into one workspace. Compare alternatives, save plans locally, share technical settings without the image, and turn the result into a production handoff you can print, copy or download.

Change any input and every downstream result updates immediately. The Studio does not resize, upload or alter your file; optional saved plans use local browser storage only.

    What this Studio does
    One model of the job, with the order made explicit.
    

    01
    Crop before PPI
    For a fill print, ratio mismatch removes pixels. The Studio calculates the retained source first, then uses those pixels for the effective-PPI verdict.
    02
    Move the focal point
    A percentage crop is not enough when the subject matters. Position the crop around a face, product or key detail before signing off the geometry.
    03
    Compare before resampling
    The decision ladder and standard-size optimizer show whether changing size, crop mode or target can solve a shortfall before you invent pixels.
    04
    Keep it reproducible
    Local saved plans and settings-only links preserve the assumptions behind the job without uploading the image or requiring an account.
