How to Export a Print-Ready PDF in Mimeo Photos

How to export a print-ready PDF from the Mimeo Photos Mac app for proofing, sharing, backup, or ordering.

Exporting a PDF of your Mimeo Photos project is a great way to proof your work before printing, keep a backup of your design, or share your project with friends, family, or clients. It also allows you to place an order through our import site if your standard upload is not completing.

Please note: The PDF export feature is exclusive to the Mimeo Photos Mac desktop application. This functionality is currently unavailable within the web-based version or on mobile devices. If you are accessing the builder via a web browser, iPhone, or iPad, you will find this option is not available.


Why export a PDF?

  • Proof your project before ordering to catch spelling mistakes, misaligned photos, or incorrectly cropped images.
  • Share your design with friends, family, or clients before placing an order.
  • Keep a backup of your project design in case you need it later.
  • Place an order via PDF if your standard upload keeps failing or stalling.
