Uploading Artwork

2 min readUpdated 2026-09-16

The Upload tool lets you bring your own images onto the canvas — logos, photos, graphics, or any file your shop accepts. Uploaded artwork is saved to your uploads list so you can reuse it across views, colors, and products without uploading again.

Upload an image

  1. Open the Upload panel and choose Upload Artwork.
  2. Select an image from your device. Accepted file types are set by your shop (commonly PNG, JPG, JPEG, and SVG).
  3. Wait for the Processing step to finish. The image then appears in your uploads list.
  4. Click the image to place it on the canvas, then drag, scale, or rotate it into position.

If you don't see your images yet, the panel shows "No images uploaded yet" — upload one to get started.

Watch the resolution warning

As you scale an image up, the studio checks its print resolution (DPI):

  1. A resolution indicator appears on the selected object.
  2. If the artwork is being stretched too large for a crisp print, you'll see a low-resolution warning.
  3. Scale the image back down, or replace it with a higher-resolution file, until the warning clears.

This check helps you catch blurry prints before the order reaches production.

Remove the background

For photos or logos with a solid background, you can knock the background out:

  1. Select the uploaded image.
  2. Choose the background removal option (shown as "Removing BG" while it works).
  3. Preview the result. If it isn't clean, you can retry processing on the image.

Tips for great prints

  • Start with the largest, highest-resolution file you have — you can always scale down.
  • PNG files with transparency place cleanly over any garment color.
  • If a file won't upload, check that its type is on your shop's accepted list.
