Large File (100MB+) Printing
If your file exceeds 100 MB, upload it via WeTransfer and email the link to Printster along with your order preferences. For files under 100 MB — PDFs, DOCX, PPT, JPG, PNG, ZIP — upload directly on printster.in and get doorstep delivery across India.
Large documents — architecture drawings, high-resolution photo books, multi-chapter dissertations, or dense engineering reports — often balloon past the 100 MB limit of typical upload forms. Printster accepts files up to 100 MB directly through its web uploader, covering the vast majority of everyday print jobs. If your file is bigger, the workaround is straightforward: transfer it via WeTransfer (free up to 2 GB) and email the download link to Printster along with your printing specifications — page size, colour or B&W, binding type, paper weight, and number of copies. The team will generate a quote and guide you through payment. Whether you upload directly or share a link, your finished prints are despatched with tracked courier to anywhere in India — Delhi NCR in 4–7 working days, rest of India in 7–10 working days.
What File Sizes Does Printster Accept Directly?
The Printster web uploader handles individual files up to 100 MB. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP archives. For most study notes, reports, and presentations this limit is more than enough. If you have several smaller files, zipping them into a single archive and uploading the ZIP is often the tidiest approach.
Printing Files Larger Than 100 MB
For truly large files — full-bleed photo albums, CAD-drawing compilations, or lengthy colour textbooks — use WeTransfer (wetransfer.com) to create a free transfer link. Email that link to Printster with complete printing instructions: A4 or A3 size, colour or black-and-white, single- or double-sided, paper GSM, binding style (spiral, perfect bound, hardcover, etc.), and quantity. The team will confirm receipt, provide pricing, and collect payment before printing begins.
Tips for Reducing File Size Before Upload
If your file is only slightly above 100 MB, a few quick steps often bring it within the limit. In Adobe Acrobat or the free Smallpdf tool, use 'Reduce File Size' or 'Compress PDF' — this downsample images to 150 dpi (sufficient for text-heavy documents) and can shrink a file by 40–60%. Exporting a Word document as PDF with 'Standard' (not 'High quality') also helps. For photo-heavy files, ensure images are 150–300 dpi rather than the 600 dpi+ raw exports some cameras produce.
Formats That Work Best for Large Files
PDF with all fonts embedded is the gold standard. It preserves layout across every device and prints exactly as designed. If you are sending a DOCX or PPTX file, Printster will handle the conversion, but supplying a PDF eliminates any font-substitution surprises. For ZIP archives containing multiple images or chapters, name files sequentially (001_chapter.pdf, 002_chapter.pdf) so the print order is unambiguous.
