# Artwork uploads

> Let customers attach artwork to their print job, and optionally have it validated by Filecheck with page counts, colour detection and preflight.

Add a **File upload** field to any section and your customers can attach their
artwork to the job. The file travels with the order, so your production team
receives the specification and the artwork together.

## Basic uploads

Out of the box, a file field accepts the file types you list (PDF by default),
uploads it securely, and records the filename against the order.

Uploaded files are stored for **30 days** and then removed automatically. Print
Options is a configurator, not a file archive — download what you need into your
production workflow.

## Filecheck-validated uploads

[Filecheck](https://apps.shopify.com/filecheck) is our upload preflight
service. Connected to a file field, it replaces the plain dropzone with an
intake that actually inspects the file — and hands back facts your pricing can
use:

| Fact                     | What it unlocks                                        |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Page count**           | Per-page pricing for booklets, theses, documents.      |
| **Colour vs mono pages** | Charging colour and black-and-white pages differently. |
| **Canvas size**          | Area pricing taken from the artwork itself.            |
| **Preflight issues**     | Catching bad files before they reach production.       |

The moment Filecheck reports on a file, the price updates: a 64-page thesis
prices itself the instant the PDF lands.

<Note>
  Filecheck is optional and separate. Without it, uploads still work — you
  just price by what the customer tells you rather than what the file
  contains.

### Connecting Filecheck

1. Set up your product in [Filecheck](https://filecheck.io) and copy your
   **publishable key**.
2. Add it in Print Options:
   * **Shopify** — theme editor, Print Configurator block, *Filecheck
     publishable key*.
   * **Wordpress** — `Print Options` → `Settings` → *Filecheck publishable
     key*.
3. In the builder, select your file field and set its provider to Filecheck.

The publishable key is designed to be public and browser-safe — it identifies
your account, it does not grant access to it.

## Pricing from file facts

Once a file field reports page counts, use the matching price changes on your
choices:

* **Per page** — every page, times the quantity.
* **Per colour page** / **Per mono page** — split rates, so colour costs what
  colour costs.

A typical thesis set: a base binding charge as a fixed amount, then per-page
rates on the colour choice.

<Tip>
  Combine with [tiered pricing](/docs/print-options/guides/pricing): per-page rates
  can carry quantity breaks, so long documents get cheaper per page.
