Trim size

The finished size of your book after it is cut, such as 6 x 9 inches.

Trim size is the width and height of your finished pages. Your file is a little larger than the trim when your design has bleed.

It shapes how your book feels in the hand, how many pages it takes, and how it sits on a shelf next to similar books.
