Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to add bleed in Adobe InDesign:
- To add and apply a bleed to your project, go to the top menu and click 'File.'
- Select 'Document Setup' to open the Document Setup panel.
- Go to 'Bleed and Slug,' enter 0.125 inches in the Bleed section (the standard size for document bleed), and then click 'OK.'
- The bleed is the red outline outside your document. Its presence indicates that you have successfully added a bleed to your project in InDesign.
