Question
What file format should I use for my custom t-shirt design?
Answer
For apparel, vector artwork gives the sharpest, cleanest result because it scales to any print size without losing detail.
| File type | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Vector (AI, EPS, SVG) | Best, scales cleanly |
| High-res PNG or PDF at 300 DPI | Works well |
| Low-res JPEG | Avoid, looks blurry on fabric |
- Convert text to outlines so fonts do not substitute.
- Use a transparent background on PNGs so the shirt color shows through where intended.
