GUIDELINES
AI Image Prompts
Create better images in AI with better prompts. Read through the guidelines to create custom print ready designs.
Specify that the artwork is for a DTF transfer, the shirt color, intended print size, style, colors, and exact wording. Ask for the artwork itself; request a shirt mockup separately.
Specify to make the image with truly transparent background, keeping all lines clean and crisp with no smoke, fading edges, soft shadows, and partially transparent effects.
Specify you want your image at 300 dpi at the print size. Changing a file’s resolution label alone does not add detail or fix a blurry image.
Review spelling, dates, names, small lettering, hands, faces, and repeated objects. An attractive image can still contain mistakes.
Identify exactly what should change and what should stay. If an original photograph or logo must remain exact, regenerating it can alter details; placing the original into the finished layout is more dependable.
Upload the downloaded PNG rather than a screenshot of the preview. Use our builders Visual Aid to check transparency, pixel dimensions, cropping, and edge quality before ordering.
Creating an image with AI does not automatically grant permission to use someone else’s logo, character, photograph, or likeness.
