Send to Print Before Your Coffee Gets Cold

That Progress Bar Had It Coming

Let's talk about exporting a 40-spread wedding album. In the old world, it took long enough to question your career choices. The progress bar moved, sure, but it moved like it was being paid by the hour.

So we rewrote the entire pipeline from scratch. Not a tune-up. A rebuild.

What's Different Now

• 4x faster. Spreads render in parallel across worker threads instead of one by one.
• Streaming output. Your PDF starts downloading before the last spread is even done rendering.
• Smart caching. Swapped one photo on spread 14? Only spread 14 re-renders. The other 39 are instant.
• Color profiles done right. sRGB and Adobe RGB embedded correctly. Your lab will stop calling you about mismatched colors.

Print-Ready by Default

No more "export, then fix the file for the printer." Every PDF export includes what your lab needs:

1. Trim marks and bleed. 3mm on all sides, configurable per lab.
2. 300 DPI. For photos. Vector elements stay vector.
3. Embedded fonts. No more "font not found" surprises when the printer opens your file.
4. PDF/X-4. The format every serious print lab expects.

Send the file straight to your lab. Done.

Not Everything Needs to Be a PDF

The new JPEG export gives you individual spread images at your chosen resolution. Perfect for Instagram teasers, client proofing on a phone, or embedding in a blog post. Your album, wherever you need it.
