Print-Ready File
Three steps to production-ready
How It Works
Import & Verify
Stop chasing files. Bulk import orders via CSV, sync your Dropbox, or connect via REST API. Our engine instantly checks image quality and DPI, recommending the perfect size before you ever hit "Print."
Automate the Prep
The "Pre-Press" is on us. Automatically generate 300 DPI files with fold guides, alignment marks, and precise edge wraps (Mirror, Stretch, or Color). Use our 76+ smart templates to build complex collages in seconds, not hours.
Approve & Fulfill
Professionalism on autopilot. Send white-labeled proof approval emails to your customers automatically. Once approved, download production-ready files with custom bleeds and color profiles (sRGB/ICC) ready for your wide-format printer.

How Credits Work
Think of credits like stamps. Each order item uses one or two credits. You get your proof file and print-ready file included — and you can make unlimited adjustments until it looks perfect. No extra charges for tweaks.
One photo in, one print-ready file out. Mirror wrap, stretch, solid colour — any edge style. Includes the proof with fold guides.
Multiple photos arranged on one canvas using any template. 2 photos or 37 — same flat price. Includes drag-to-crop, swap, and the full proof + print file.
Every credit includes
Quick Example
Say you have 100 credits this month. A customer orders a 24x36" canvas and a 9-photo collage canvas. That's 1 + 2 = 3 credits. You upload the photos, we generate the proof and print files. Customer wants the crop moved slightly? Just adjust and regenerate — no extra credits charged. You still have 97 credits left.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
CanvasPrep is a SaaS platform that automates print file preparation for canvas wraps, photo prints, and collages. Upload photos, specify dimensions, frame depth, and edge type — CanvasPrep calculates bleed, generates edge wrapping, adds fold guides and alignment marks, embeds ICC color profiles, and outputs production-ready files at 300 DPI. It replaces hours of manual Photoshop work per order.
CanvasPrep supports three product types: single-photo canvas wraps (with mirror, gallery, stretch, color, or image edge wrapping and calculated bleed based on frame depth), multi-photo collage canvases (2 to 37+ slot templates with smart orientation matching), and standard photo prints with bleed borders. All output includes sRGB color management and ICC profile embedding.
Export your orders from any system into a simple CSV file with columns like product_type, face_width, face_height, and image_files. Upload the CSV along with source images in the dashboard. CanvasPrep validates everything, shows a preview, and imports all orders with one click. A downloadable template is provided to get you started.
Proof files include fold lines (red), center tick marks (blue), edge alignment ticks (green), cut border, and order labels — designed for customer review and production planning. Print files are 300 DPI with calculated bleed, clean edge wrapping, embedded sRGB ICC profiles, and no guide marks — ready to send directly to your large format printer with accurate color reproduction.
Yes. Each team can upload their logo, set custom label text, and configure fold line colors, center tick colors, and outer border colors. Your generated files carry your branding, not ours.
Connect your Dropbox account via OAuth. CanvasPrep scans your import folder for order subfolders containing a CSV file and images. Orders are imported automatically on a 5-minute schedule. Generated files are auto-exported back to your Dropbox export folder.
Yes. Our V1 REST API supports creating orders, uploading assets, triggering generation, and downloading files. Authenticate with team API keys. Full usage logging is available in your dashboard.
CanvasPrep accepts JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and WebP source images up to 50MB per file. Output files are generated as high-quality JPEG (for proofs and prints) or PNG (for transparent collage composites).
