Make every upload fit-for-purpose. Automatically.
Eliminate prepress artwork errors before an order is ever placed.
Filecheck embeds the lightweight, responsive
Filecheck Element preflight widget directly on your WooCommerce product pages. Instead of back-and-forth emails about resolution, crop marks, and sizing, your customers get instant in-browser feedback on their PDF, PNG, or JPEG files — before they can buy.
Clean files pass straight through. Minor issues are auto-fixed. Genuine problems are flagged with a plain-language explanation and how to fix them — so the customer corrects their file themselves, before checkout, instead of your prepress team catching it after payment.

What it checks
Validation runs through the Filecheck cloud service against the workflow rules you configure:
- Resolution (DPI) – flags blurry, low-resolution graphics (e.g. below 300 DPI).
- Bleed & safety margins – ensures critical art won't get trimmed at the cutter.
- Color space – verifies CMYK vs. RGB compliance and converts color profiles.
- Dimensions & aspect ratio – confirms the file matches the selected product size.
- Fonts & vectors – detects missing or un-embedded fonts before they ruin a print run.
- Page count & structure – validates multi-page documents against your product spec.
- Auto-corrections – RGB→CMYK conversion, missing bleed, transparency flattening, EXIF stripping, and more, applied automatically where safe.
How it works
- The customer opens a product page and the Filecheck Element renders inline (or as a dialog) next to your Add to Cart button.
- They drop in their artwork. Filecheck inspects it in milliseconds and shows a per-file verdict: valid, auto-fixed, or rejected with a clear reason and a "how to fix" hint.
- Add to Cart stays disabled until every required file passes. Once files pass, the widget enables checkout, shows print-ready proof thumbnails in the cart, and attaches a unique job ID to the order line item.
- After checkout, store managers see the full preflight report on the WooCommerce order screen, and print-optimized production files are streamed into a protected folder on your server — ready for production.

Works with your workflow
Workflows are configured visually in the
Filecheck dashboard — no code required. Advanced users can split multi-page documents, merge uploads, run ISO compliance checks (PDF/A, PDF/UA), and route standardized outputs to S3, Uploadcare, or FTP. The same workflows also power Filecheck's REST API for custom integrations.
A Filecheck account is required to use this plugin. Filecheck is a commercial software-as-a-service product. You can create an account with free test credits — no credit card required — and review pricing at
