Design Studio

The designer customers finish, and your press can trust.

Customers personalize the exact product they picked, side by side and print area by print area, with text, artwork, uploads and your templates. You get a design you can reopen, a price set by your rules and a print file at true size.

What customers can do

Everything needed to finish a design. Nothing that gets in the way.

Text that looks designed

31 shapes, outline and shadow, letter spacing and your own fonts. Each line stays editable until the order is placed.

Uploads that print well

Remove the background, upscale, crop and apply filters in the Studio. The resolution is checked at the size it will print.

Layers and templates

Start from your templates or a blank area. Reorder, lock, align and duplicate layers like a desktop design tool.

Names and numbers

Team lists with a name and number per garment, priced as their own line, so a 24-jersey order is one design.

Every side, color and size

Front, back, sleeves and other print areas on one product. Switch the garment color and see the design on it at once.

AI design help

Customers describe an idea and get print-ready concepts, run on your own AI account with the limits you set.

True to size

Print areas measured in inches, not guessed in pixels.

Every print area of every product carries its real size. The customer sees the design on the garment as it will print, and a 12 in chest print arrives on your press as 12 in.

  • Front, back and sleevesEach side has its own areas and its own price.
  • Method-aware limitsEmbroidery, screen print and DTF each keep their own rules for colors and sizes.

Saved, priced, reopened

The design is the order. You never rebuild it by hand.

The price updates as the customer designs, and the cart and checkout charge the same amount. After checkout the design stays attached to the order, with its artwork, fonts and preview, and the print file is generated for production.

Print areas and methods

Choose which sides and areas are printable and which methods each one uses.

Fonts and colors

Offer your font and color libraries, including your brand colors.

Pricing setups

Price by print area, size, color count or stitches. One setup covers every product that uses it.

Templates and artwork

Publish starting designs and a clip-art library customers can use as is.

A practical guide

Setting up an online product designer your press can trust

How to put a product customizer on your Shopify or WooCommerce store without flooding production with files you cannot print.

Start with one best seller

Turn the Studio on for the product that already sells best, set its print areas and its price, and watch the first orders arrive. When that product runs smoothly, turn the Studio on for a collection or the whole catalog with the same setup.

Print areas carry real sizes

Every print area has its real size in inches, so the customer designs at the size you will print and the print file comes out at true size, one per print area. Choose which sides are printable and which decoration methods each area uses: embroidery, screen print and DTF each keep their own rules for colors and sizes.

Uploads that print well

Customers upload what they have: PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, PSD, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, HEIC or AI files. Each upload's resolution is checked at the size it will print, and the customer can remove a background, upscale or crop it in the Studio, so a logo cut from a photo reaches you clean instead of as a box on a shirt.

Phones as well as desktops

When a shopper opens your product page on a phone, the same Studio opens there, with touch controls sized for fingers on phones and tablets. You do not maintain a second, simpler designer for mobile shoppers.

Give customers a head start

Customers finish faster when they do not start from an empty shirt. Publish starting designs, offer a clip-art library and your own font and color libraries, including your brand colors. Team orders use names and numbers: one design, a list of names and numbers, priced as their own line.

Prices customers can see while they design

Price by print area, print size, color count or stitches. One pricing setup covers every product that uses it, the price updates as the customer designs, and the cart line carries the same price, so no order needs a manual quote afterwards.

Saved designs bring customers back

Saved and ordered designs are listed under My designs in the Studio and reopen on the same product. A customer can stop halfway and finish later, or come back next season to the design they already ordered.

Questions

Design Studio questions

Does the Studio replace my product pages or theme?

No. The Studio opens from the product page of your existing Shopify theme or WooCommerce store, and the customer returns to your own cart and checkout.

Which products can customers design?

Any product you set up with print areas: apparel, headwear, bags, drinkware, signs, stickers and promotional products. 44 product types come ready with photoreal blanks and measured print areas.

Which plan includes the Design Studio?

Core (choose the Design Studio as its engine), Complete, which adds the Gang Sheet Builder and Instant Merch, and Dedicated.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The same Studio works on phones and tablets, with touch controls sized for fingers.

Which files can customers upload?

PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, PSD, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, HEIC and AI (PDF-compatible) files. Each upload's resolution is checked at the size it will print, and customers can remove a background, upscale or crop it in the Studio.

Can customers save a design and come back to it?

Yes. Saved and ordered designs are listed under My designs in the Studio and reopen on the same product, so a customer can finish later.

How is a customized product priced?

By your own pricing setups: per print area, print size, color count or stitches. One setup covers every product that uses it, the customer sees the price as they design, and the cart line carries the same price.

What file do I get for production?

A print-ready file per print area at true size, generated from the saved design, next to the customer's preview on the order.
