We accept PNG (recommended for graphics with transparent backgrounds), JPG and TIFF (recommended for photos and meme screenshots), AI and PSD (Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files, which we rasterize to 1200 dpi print output), and PDF files with embedded raster images. Max file size is 50MB per upload. For best results, use PNG with transparency for logos and text, and high-resolution JPG at 300 dpi for photorealistic images like player faces and memes.

For photorealistic DTG direct-to-garment printing, we recommend 300 dpi at actual print size. For a standard 12″ × 16″ front chest print, your file should be 3600 × 4800 pixels minimum. Files between 150-300 dpi will print acceptably but may show softness in fine details like facial features and small text. Files below 150 dpi will trigger a warning in our 3D preview with a visual simulation of the expected softness — we won’t block your order, but we’ll show you exactly how it will look before you pay.

Three factors cause color shifts: (1) Your monitor displays RGB light, while we print CMYK+W ink on fabric. (2) Dark garments require a white underbase that affects color vibrancy. (3) Cotton fiber absorbs ink differently than a backlit screen emits light. Our preview engine accounts for all three by converting your file to our CMYK+W profile and simulating the fabric absorption. The preview is calibrated to match the physical print within a Delta E of 3.0 under standard daylight — which means the preview is as accurate as technology allows, but not identical to your screen.

Yes. Screenshots and saved images are fully supported. For best results, capture or save the image at the highest resolution your device offers. Vertical phone screenshots (like Twitter threads or TikTok frames) will be cropped to fit the horizontal print area — the preview engine shows you exactly how the crop will look, and you can reposition or zoom to frame the key moment. For print my tweet on shirt projects, we recommend capturing the tweet at maximum zoom to ensure text legibility.

You can edit positioning, scaling, and rotation unlimited times within the preview engine without re-uploading. If you need to change the actual artwork (fix text, adjust colors, add elements), simply upload the revised file — your garment selection, size, and placement preferences are saved to your session. You can preview as many times as you want; we only charge when you click “Approve & Pay.”

No. Upload your design once, configure the placement and size, then use our “Duplicate to Squad Order” button. This converts your single upload into a Squad Order Hub link where each team member can select their own size, add their name and number (if you allow it), and pay individually. The design is locked to your approved preview, ensuring consistency across all garments. This is ideal for custom team shirts no minimum and custom team jerseys 10 pieces orders.

You can upload any image you own the rights to. For player faces, celebrity images, and professional team logos, we recommend using our built-in comic-style and caricature filters to convert the image into an original illustration rather than a direct reproduction. This helps avoid right-of-publicity and trademark concerns while preserving the recognizable essence. Our system flags known restricted images and provides guidance on parody and fair-use boundaries. See our Upload Guidelines for full legal details.

A transparent background means the area around your design is see-through rather than white. This is critical for team shirt upload logo projects because it allows the garment color to show through the negative space. Without transparency, your circular logo becomes a white square on a black shirt. Save your file as PNG-24 with transparency enabled. You can test this by viewing your file on a colored background — if you see a white box, the transparency is not active.

Dark garments require a white ink underbase layer beneath your colored design. Without this underbase, colors would disappear into the black fabric. The underbase adds a very slight texture to the print area — softer than heat-transfer vinyl, but slightly more opaque than a direct print on white cotton. Our 3D preview shows the underbase effect so you can decide whether to adjust your design’s brightness or contrast for optimal results. Light colors and pastels on dark shirts benefit from a 15-20% saturation boost.

Standard upload orders enter the print queue within 2 hours of approval and ship within 24 hours. Orders approved before 2 PM EST ship same-day. Squad Order Hub orders ship within 24 hours of the captain closing the order. Delivery takes 2-3 business days in the US, 3-5 days to Canada, and 5-7 days to the UK and Australia. You’ll receive a tracking number the moment your package leaves our lab.1
