The major formats are PDF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG and BMP, which is what a print room hands over. Design adds the designer files: SVG, AI, EPS, PSD, DXF and WEBP. Both make a laser cut file for the printed sheet. AI image generation runs on your own OpenAI or Grok key and the AI assistant on your own OpenAI key, paid to them directly. AI upscaling and AI cut-out need no key. One licence activates one computer, and the 7 day trial is the full software.
Before you pay
The short version of the small print.
Try it first
Use the full software free for 7 days on your own press. No card is needed. When the 7 days end, pick a plan to keep going. Get the free trial.
One computer
One licence activates one computer. Monthly and yearly plans run while you pay and stop when you stop. The once off licence is yours to keep.
Tax
Prices are in US dollars before tax. Tax is worked out at checkout for your country. Polar Software, Inc. is the merchant of record for sales in dollars, so your receipt and any tax invoice come from Polar. A South African business can pay in Rand instead, VAT included, and gets a tax invoice from UPrint Global CC.
Refunds
The free trial replaces a money back period, so a working licence is not refunded because you changed your mind. You get a full refund if the code was never delivered, you were charged twice, or the software is broken on your machine and we cannot fix it. Refund policy.
