Key facts
- Amazon Merch file spec4500 x 5400 pixels at 300 DPI, PNG with transparency, under 25MB.Wrong pixel size is the single most common upload rejection.
- Etsy with PrintifyUpload 4500 x 5400 PNG. Printify shows a safe area guide per product.Artwork outside the safe area gets trimmed on the shirt.
- RedbubbleUpload the largest file you have. Redbubble scales one file to many products.One high resolution file unlocks dozens of product types.
- Poster and wall art2:3 and 11:14 are the two highest selling print ratios.Odd ratios force buyers to pay for custom framing.
- Mug wrap3000 x 3000 at 300 DPI, keep the design in the central band.Handles cut the printable area on both sides.
- Die cut stickers1:1 square at 300 DPI with a clean silhouette and a white cut line.Complex outlines fail to cut cleanly.
- Transparent PNGNever flatten to white. Check the file over a dark background before upload.A white box behind the art is the top DTG quality complaint.
- Colour countFewer colours print sharper and cost less on screen print.Two and three colour designs hold up best over time.
- Dark garment printingAvoid soft gradients and drop shadows on black garments.DTG renders faint gradients as visible grey haze.
- Text rendering in AIGenerate the graphic and the text separately, then combine them.Most image models still garble long strings of text.
- Ideogram for textIdeogram handles short typography better than most models.Saves a full round of manual retyping in Photoshop.
- Vector conversionRun the final PNG through a vectoriser for screen print and embroidery.Screen printers and embroiderers need clean vector paths.
- Trademark safetyCheck the USPTO TESS database before you list any phrase.Trademark strikes close Merch and Etsy accounts permanently.
- Niche depthGo narrower than dog lovers. Go to the specific breed and role.Narrow niches face far less competition on the same keyword.
- Collection strategyPublish 5 variations of a winner rather than 5 unrelated designs.Variations compound ranking on one keyword cluster.
- Seasonal timingUpload seasonal designs 60 to 90 days before the date.Marketplace algorithms need time to index and rank a new listing.
- Evergreen ratioKeep roughly 70 percent evergreen and 30 percent seasonal.Evergreen carries the revenue between holiday spikes.
- MockupsNever include a mockup or a garment inside the AI generated file.The upload must be flat artwork only, not a photo of a shirt.
- Title keywordsLead with the noun the buyer actually types into search.First words carry the most weight in marketplace search.
- Tag strategyMix 5 broad tags with 8 long tail tags. Never repeat a phrase.Repeated tags waste slots and do not add reach.
