Too few pixels
A logo pulled off a website prints soft and blocky. ArtworkFix Pro measures the real resolution at the final print size and tells you plainly whether it will hold up.
For print shops and sign makers · Windows
Fix customer artwork before it reaches the press.
ArtworkFix Pro inspects every file your customers send, shows exactly what is wrong, and repairs it in one click: low resolution, missing bleed, content too close to the trim. Your originals are never changed.

The everyday problem
Customers send what they have. The press needs something else.
Every print shop knows the routine: open the file, squint, find the problem, email the customer, wait. ArtworkFix Pro does the squinting for you.
No bleed
Without bleed, trimming leaves thin white edges. Smart Fix builds the bleed from the artwork's own content (mirrored edges, blurred enlargement or edge colour), never by stretching the picture.
Text too close to the edge
Content outside the safe area gets cut off. Smart Fix moves everything inside the green safe line, so a phone number never lands on the guillotine.
What it does
Everything between "file received" and "ready to print".
Preflight with a readiness score
One number from 0 to 100 and a short list of issues, each with a plain-English fix. Resolution, bleed, colour mode, missing colour profile and more.
Smart Fix
Fit the content inside the safe area and build bleed from the artwork itself, in one step. Add bleed only, rotate, straighten, trim borders or upscale as needed.
Made for print sizes
Pick a product, from business cards and flyers to posters, yard signs and coroplast, or enter a custom size. Artwork rotates to match the product, which stays fixed.
Gang sheets and imposition
Lay several copies on a sheet with step and repeat, see the sheet utilisation, and export the imposed PDF for the press.
Exports your customers trust
Print-ready PDF with optional crop marks, a client proof PDF, or a flattened JPG, PNG or TIFF.
Fast to learn, safe to use
Compare against the original at any time, undo and redo, save projects to resume later, and use Simple mode when a customer sits at your counter.

Questions
Straight answers.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
Opening files, running checks and using Smart Fix keep working, but exporting is switched off until you buy and activate a licence. During the trial every export carries a watermark.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Checking, fixing, exporting and activating a licence all happen on your computer. Internet is only needed to buy, and to download the installer.
Does it change my customers' original files?
Never. Your originals stay exactly as they were. ArtworkFix Pro writes new files when you export.
Can I move the licence to another computer?
A key works on the one computer it was made for. If you replace your computer or reinstall Windows, send us the new Machine ID and we will issue a replacement key.
Windows says "protected your PC" when I run the installer. Is that normal?
The installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show a notice the first time. Choose "More info", then "Run anyway". You can check the file is the one we published by comparing its SHA-256 value, shown below the download button.
Which versions of Windows are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit. You need about 600 MB of free disk space.
What are its limits today?
ArtworkFix Pro works on pictures. PDF, AI and SVG artwork is read at print resolution, so vector text and shapes become pixels, and exported PDFs contain a high-quality image, not live vector or PDF/X. Exports are RGB, with no spot colours. Only the first page of a multi-page file is opened, and EPS files are not supported (save them as PDF or TIFF first). If your work depends on those, check the trial against your own files before you buy.
Is there a Mac version?
Not at this time. ArtworkFix Pro is Windows software.
