Uploading files
Everything we need is in the PDF, including embedded fonts and graphics, which means fewer issues.
Portable Document Format
Portable Document Format or PDF is the print industry standard from one provider to another; it allows a consistent and unchanging view of the document and the fidelity necessary for print production.
Design file uploading options
Depending on how your design(s) were created, you can upload
Single-page PDF for a one-sided card,
Two-page PDF for a two-sided card, or
Single-page PDFs uploaded separately for a two-sided card
Tip: Check your page orientation before uploading a second side to ensure it matches your expectations, especially when the you change from landscape to portrait from front to back or vice versa.
Embedded images
For the best results with embedded image files, please use:
JPG
PNG
Tip: Remember to convert all embedded images to the CMYK color space for best results.
How Brandly converts PDFs to online templates
When you upload your PDF, Brandly converts it into a proprietary online template that preserves the fidelity of your design while allowing the text to be edited online using the exact same fonts, colors, and typography.
Split into two-layers
The final output is a two-layer file: 1 ) an editable "type layer" in SVG format and 2 ) a static background layer that incorporates background artwork such as images and logos. Both your original file and the converted version are securely stored in the cloud for future reference and use.
