Enabling Crop Marks and Bleed in your Downloads

When printing a professionally designed project, using crop marks and bleed is essential to avoid unwanted white edges and ensure your final design looks clean and precise. Crop marks guide the printer on exactly where to trim the paper, while the bleed area allows your background or design elements to extend beyond the canvas edge—preventing gaps caused by slight misalignments during the cutting process.

In Visme, the background color automatically extends 5 pixels beyond the canvas to create a proper bleed area, and crop marks can be enabled when exporting as a PDF for print. This setup ensures your design prints edge-to-edge with no white borders, giving you a crisp, professional result every time.
