What you can do with this design tool
Every part of this tool runs on your own device, so changes show up the moment you make them.
Front and back layouts
Switch between the front and back of the shirt. Each side keeps its own text and images, so a matching set is easy to build.
Type text or upload art
Add a slogan, a name or a date, or drop in your own logo or photo in PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG format.
Drag, resize and rotate
Move any layer by hand, then fine-tune its size and angle with the controls next to the shirt.
Several shirt colors
Preview your design on white, black, navy and other popular shirt colors before you commit to one.
Two ways to download
Save the full mockup to share or pitch an idea, or grab a transparent PNG of just the design for a print shop.
No account, no watermark
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing stamped on your download. What you design is what you get.
Tips for a design that prints well
A design that looks sharp on screen does not always print the same way. Keep these points in mind.
Start with a high-resolution image
A logo or photo that looks blurry when you zoom in will print blurry too. Use the largest version of the file you have.
Treat the print guide as a starting point
The dashed box marks a typical chest print zone. Most printers can go larger, but check with them first for an oversized or all-over design.
Download the right file for the job
Use the transparent design file for printing, not the full mockup. A print shop places that file onto the garment itself.
Check contrast against the shirt color
Light text can disappear on a white shirt, and dark text can vanish on black. Preview your color choice against the shirt before you download.
How this Free T-Shirt Design Tool works
This t-shirt design tool works entirely inside your browser tab. Pick a shirt color and choose whether you are working on the front or the back. Each side keeps its own design, so you can build a full front-and-back tee without losing progress on either one.
Add your design by typing text or uploading an image. Every text box and picture becomes its own layer that you can drag into place, resize, rotate and recolor using the panel next to the shirt. Layers stack in the order you add them, and you can send any layer forward or back if two overlap. The dashed box on the shirt marks a typical chest print area. It is a guide, not a hard limit, so oversized or all-over designs are still possible.
When the design looks right, download it. The full mockup shows your artwork on the colored shirt, ready to share with a client or preview on social media. The second download strips the shirt away and gives you a transparent PNG of just your design, which is the file most print-on-demand and local screen-printing shops actually ask for.
Nothing you type or upload leaves your device. The shirt preview, your layers and the final export are all generated in your browser, so you can design as many shirts as you like without waiting on an upload or handing your artwork to a server.
