Setup
The Setup tab creates frames at exact physical sizes and repairs frames that were made without the plugin.
Create a print frame
Pick a preset or enter a custom size, choose your units (mm, cm, or inches), set the bleed and safe margin, and click Create print frame.
- Name
Preset- Type
- select
- Description
A1 to A6, B4/B5, DL flyer, US Letter, US Legal, US Half Letter, Tabloid/Ledger, business cards (EU and US), postcard, square, and two poster sizes. Choosing a preset fills in the width and height; editing them switches to Custom.
- Name
Units- Type
- select
- Description
mm, cm, or inches. Values convert in place when you switch. Everything internal stays exact millimetres.
- Name
Bleed- Type
- number
- Description
Extra artwork around the trim that gets cut away, so paper-edge designs never show white slivers. 3 mm is the standard; 0.125 in for US shops.
- Name
Safe margin- Type
- number
- Description
Keep text and logos inside this line. 3 to 5 mm is typical.
- Name
Size includes bleed- Type
- checkbox
- Description
Contain mode: the frame stays exactly the given size and the trim moves inward instead of the frame growing outward.
The frame is created at trim plus bleed size with a locked guide group:
- The frame edge is the bleed edge. Extend backgrounds all the way out.
- The blue line is the trim, where the cut lands.
- The green dashed line is the safe area.
Guides are named with a warning symbol and are hidden automatically by every export in the plugin. The bleed value is stored on the frame itself, so the PDF and Marks tabs detect it automatically later.
Add guides to existing frames
Made your frames before installing the plugin? Select them, choose whether their size already includes bleed, and click Add trim + safe guides to selection. The same locked guides and bleed metadata are stamped onto each frame in place. Nothing is moved or resized.
Fix frames designed at the wrong DPI
Figma is 72 pixels per inch. A Letter frame built at "300 DPI" pixel dimensions (2550 x 3300 px) exports at 4.2 times the physical size. Select such frames, tell the plugin which DPI they were designed at (300, 150, or 96), and click Rescale.
Rescaling multiplies the frame by 72 divided by the design DPI, so it lands at true physical size. Images keep every pixel they had, which means their effective PPI goes up, not down. Photos lose nothing.
