Frequently asked questions
Will scaling an A4 document to A3 look pixelated?+
Vector content (text, diagrams) scales without quality loss. Raster images (photos, scanned content) may show reduced sharpness at 200% size — ensure original images are at least 150 DPI before scaling.
Should I include bleed when resizing for printing?+
If you need bleed, add it in your source application before exporting and include bleed in your page dimensions before resizing.
Can I resize to SRA3 for print-with-bleed?+
Enter custom dimensions for SRA3 (320 × 450 mm) using the custom size option in the resize tool.
