Our royal icing transfer sheets are provided in three standard PDF sizes. These sizes work for most cookies, but sometimes you need your designs to be just a little bigger—or smaller. Luckily, resizing is quick and easy using your printer settings.
Follow the steps below to adjust your transfer sheets to the perfect size:
Step 1: Open the PDF
Download your transfer sheet and open it on your computer. Most devices will automatically open PDFs with a program like Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview (on Mac).
Step 2: Go to Print Settings
Select Print from the File menu or use the shortcut (Ctrl + P on Windows, Command + P on Mac).
Look for the Scale or Custom Scale option in the print dialog box.
Step 3: Adjust the Scale
100% scale = the original size of the file
Smaller transfers → reduce the percentage (e.g., 80%)
Larger transfers → increase the percentage (e.g., 120%)

Step 4: Print a Test Page
Before printing the full sheet, print just one page to check sizing against your cookies.
If it’s too small, bump the scale up a little.
If it’s too large, lower the percentage.
Repeat until you’re happy with the fit.
Step 5: Print the Full Sheet
Once you’ve found the perfect size, go ahead and print as many sheets as you need for your project!
✅ Tip: Write down the percentage that worked best for your cookie cutters so you can use the same setting again later.
