Remove the background to place your artwork on products.

For white or other uniform, solid backgrounds.

Remove only the outer background; keep enclosed areas of the same colour.

Increase image size for prints that need more pixels.

Fit your printer’s canvas, centered or aligned to the top.

Lossless compression keeps the image dimensions, colours and transparency. File savings vary.

Outputs 4500 × 5400 px, keeping proportions with transparent padding. Resizing alone does not add detail.

POD Print Preparation: Get Your Files Ready

A strong design still needs the right background, pixel dimensions and placement. Prepare for Print combines these tasks in a fixed order: background removal, enhancement, print sizing and compression. Enable only the steps needed for your file.

Illustrative example; actual results depend on your images and settings.

What to bring

Add up to 100 images. T-shirt, sticker and poster presets fill in file settings; they do not create product mockups. Adjust width, height, DPI, placement and individual steps to match your printer’s requirements.

What you get

Use the preview to inspect the cutout and layout. Enhancement shows source and intermediate dimensions. When print sizing is also enabled, the final file uses that canvas; it is not multiplied again by the enhancement factor.

Three steps to your next design

  1. 01

    Pick a print preset or enter the canvas size and DPI requested by your printer.

  2. 02

    Enable the necessary steps and check the preview, enhancement size and final dimensions.

  3. 03

    Open the finished PNG and inspect transparency, edges, dimensions and wording before printing.

A direction to try

The product photograph illustrates a possible print application, not a generated mockup from this tool. The rabbit comparison below is an actual background-removal example for checking light fur and transparency.

Before you choose

Use plain-background removal for uniform colours, or smart cutout for complex backgrounds. Check fine lines and pale subjects carefully. Enhancement cannot guarantee recovery of lost detail. Lossless compression preserves colours.
