What Size Should You Choose?
The standard size for coloring books is 8.5" x 11" (Letter). This gives the user plenty of space to color.
Bleed vs. No Bleed
This is where most beginners fail.
- No Bleed: Images do NOT touch the edge of the page. You need a white margin around everything.
- Bleed: Images go all the way to the edge. You must make your PDF slightly larger (8.625" x 11.25") to account for trimming.
