Check Whether a Poster Canvas Includes Your Chosen Bleed
The canvas can be larger than the trim and still leave too little bleed. Halve the extra width to estimate the margin on each side, then compare it with the printer’s requirement you entered.

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the bleed-edge caliper: your layout | canvas width mm | trim width mm stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: A document with equal canvas and trim has no bleed extension. After: the bleed-edge caliper shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Print-layout arithmetic only, not a printer’s technical approval, colour-management check or licensing review. Confirm all four edges and file settings with the print provider; request a proof before production. This calculation cannot inspect artwork placement or validate an exported file.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this bleed-edge caliper, an external AI text tool may help format non-sensitive notes if you already use one. No AI service or account is required: manual entry completes the same free core calculation. Do not paste private or sensitive data. Review every value against the source before using it.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a bleed-edge caliper. Return plain rows only: layout | canvas width mm | trim width mm. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: layout | canvas width mm | trim width mm. No AI response is executed as code.
