Note

Before publishing or ordering the product, it is important to take into account the limitations of color range in different printing methods. In general, all-over printing (AOP) can support bright colors, while direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), and other printing methods may result in muted outcomes.

Step 1: Select a product

Start by selecting a product from our Catalog, and then click Start designing.

Step 2: Generate AI designs using a prompt

Select AI image to proceed to the next step, where you will need to input a prompt.

A prompt is a descriptive word or phrase used to generate an AI image. To create successful prompts, be specific about the desired image and include style modifiers or keywords for added detail. To ensure your creative vision is realized, follow these prompt guidelines:

Choose the main object: Start by selecting the main object for your prompt, such as “mountain”, “ladybug”, or “labrador wearing sunglasses”. The main object can consist of one or multiple elements.
Choose the setting: Determine where the scene is taking place, such as a “forest” or a “city”. You can also specify the color of the background, like “green background”. If you have a specific concept in mind, include it in the prompt, such as “[main object] enclosed in a circle”.
Add the finishing touches: Enhance your prompt with descriptive adjectives that convey the desired image quality or mood. Consider terms like “professional t-shirt design”, “highly-detailed”, “soft”, “cute”, “somber”, or “washed-out”, among others.
Choose the image style: Choose the desired image style from the available options. If you have a different style in mind, select “None” and include additional modifiers in your prompt. You can use modifiers that emulate specific art styles like Pop Art, Renaissance, Minimalism, or Geometric, as well as textures like 3D, and more.

Tip

For more information on prompting techniques, visit our blog article. Note that our AI Image Generator uses a different tool, so not all techniques apply.

If you’re uncertain about the prompt you entered or simply need some inspiration, make use of the prompts enhancement feature. This feature can help generate more detailed and creative prompts, resulting in more precise outcomes when using our AI Image Generator.

Each attempt will generate one image with a resolution of 1024 × 1024 pixels. If you need higher resolution designs for your products, don’t worry. We will automatically upscale the image to meet the necessary requirements when sending the order to production.

After adding a design to your product, you can optionally remove the image background.

Step 3: Save and publish your product

Lastly, click Save product and then proceed to publish it to your store.
