How can I create T-shirt designs online?

You can create T-shirt designs online by starting with a blank canvas or customizing a ready-made template in Kittl. Add your text, graphics, colors, and layout, then export the design in a print-ready format for production or online selling.

Can I create T-shirt graphics from scratch in Kittl?

Kittl lets you create T-shirt graphics from scratch using text tools, editable templates, vector elements, uploaded artwork, and AI-powered features. This makes it easier to build a design that fits your brand or product line.

What size should a T-shirt design be?

A standard adult full-front T-shirt design is often up to 12" x 14", while a common center-chest design is around 11" x 11". Smaller placements, such as a left-chest logo, are often around 3.5" x 3.5", depending on the garment and print provider.

What is the best DPI for a T-shirt design?

The best resolution for a T-shirt design is 300 DPI at final print size. This helps keep the artwork sharp and clear for print-on-demand, DTG, DTF, and other professional printing methods.

Can I export my T-shirt design as PNG, SVG, or PDF?

Kittl supports exporting T-shirt designs as PNG, JPEG, PDF, and SVG. This gives you flexibility for print workflows, product listings, and design handoff.

Can I use my T-shirt design for commercial use?

Commercial use for T-shirt designs is available on Kittl’s Pro and Expert plans. The Free plan is limited to personal and non-commercial projects.

Can I sell T-shirt designs I made in Kittl after my subscription ends?

T-shirt designs created under a paid Kittl plan with commercial rights can still be sold after the subscription ends, as long as the account remains open. This allows you to keep using previously licensed designs commercially.

Can I upload my own logo or artwork to create T-shirt designs?

Kittl allows you to upload your own SVG, PNG, and JPG files for use in T-shirt designs. This helps you combine original brand assets with templates, text, and graphics in one workflow.

Can I preview my T-shirt design before I sell it online?

Kittl helps you preview T-shirt designs with mockups, promo images, and product presentation assets before you sell them online. This makes it easier to prepare both the design and the visuals needed for listings and promotion.
