What you'll need
- Your design file as a PNG, JPG or SVG (minimum 150 DPI for print quality)
- A Halftone account (free to create)
Step 1: Open Studio
From your account dashboard, click Studio in the top navigation, or go to /studio. You'll see a product catalogue — hoodies, tees, caps, and more.
Step 2: Choose a base product
Click on the product you want to customise. You'll enter the product editor where you can:
- Select a colourway
- Switch between front and back placement
- Choose your print technique (DTF, screen print, embroidery)
Step 3: Upload your artwork
- Click the upload zone on the product mockup
- Select your file — PNG works best for artwork with transparency
- Resize and reposition using the handles
- Use the alignment tools to centre your artwork
Tip: For best print results, use artwork at 150 DPI or higher at your target print size.
Step 4: Preview and save
Once you're happy with the placement, click Save Design. Your design is now in your Designs library and can be added to any drop.
Common issues
- Design looks pixelated in preview: Use a higher-resolution source file
- Wrong colour on print: CMYK colours can appear slightly different from screen RGB. Provide a CMYK file for accurate colour matching.
- Upload fails: Check that the file is under 20MB. Convert large files to a compressed PNG.
