How does the Bleed + Trim Marks work?

Add the standard pre-press marks every commercial printer expects — trim marks at the four corners, registration marks (cross-in-circle) on each edge, and a configurable bleed area around every page. The tool expands each page's MediaBox by the bleed amount, sets TrimBox / BleedBox to industry-standard values, and translates the existing content so the original page now sits at the trim box. Drop your design PDF, set bleed (0.125" / 3mm is standard), and the result is print-shop ready. Note: bleed only matters if your design extends ink to the edge — for content that stays inside margins, set bleed to 0.
