What This Tool Does
This tool audits your digital invitation design file before you spend hundreds of dollars at a commercial print shop. It calculates effective print DPI, tests aspect ratios against standard envelopes, checks for 0.125-inch cutting bleeds, and warns you if fonts or graphics will print blurry.
How to Use This Invitation Print Checker
Drop your invitation artwork (PNG, JPG, TIFF, or PDF) into the upload box.
Select your intended physical print size (default is standard 5" × 7" A7 invitation).
Review your Effective DPI score: Green indicates crisp 300+ DPI commercial print quality.
Verify the Bleed Margin indicator to confirm the file has a 1/8-inch safety border for printer trimming.
Inspect the interactive canvas preview with safe-zone margin overlays to ensure no text gets cut off.
Effective Print DPI & Resolution Formula
Dots Per Inch (DPI) measures physical pixel density when rendered at a specific print size. High-end commercial printing requires 300 DPI.

Common Questions About Invitation Print Checker
What pixel dimensions do I need for a 5x7 wedding invitation?
For a standard 5" × 7" card printed at 300 DPI with a 1/8-inch bleed, your design file should be exactly 1575 × 2175 pixels (or 1500 × 2100 pixels without bleed).
What is a bleed margin on a wedding invitation?
A bleed is an extra 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) of background artwork extending beyond the final trim line. When commercial cutting blades slice through cardstock stacks, the bleed prevents unsightly white hairline borders.
Is my uploaded invitation uploaded to a server or stored?
No! This tool runs 100% client-side inside your web browser using HTML5 File APIs. Your personal wedding invitation artwork, names, and addresses never leave your computer.
