Using the Design Tool

A powerful, browser-based design editor built for print-on-demand.

The Transfer Kingdom POD Designer is a canvas-based tool that lets you (or your customers) create production-ready designs directly in the browser — no software installation needed.

Key features:

  • Image upload Upload PNG, JPG, or other image files and place them on the canvas. Supports transparent backgrounds for DTF and gang sheet products.
  • Text tool Add custom text with control over font, size, alignment, color, and stroke. Available for DTF and apparel modes.
  • Shape tool Insert rectangles, circles, triangles, and lines with customizable fill, stroke, corner radius, and dimensions. Available for DTF and apparel modes.
  • Layers panel View and reorder all objects on the canvas, toggle visibility, and select elements.
  • Properties panel Fine-tune any selected object: resize with aspect ratio lock, adjust opacity, change colors, edit text properties, and more.
  • Undo / Redo Full history support (Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Ctrl/Cmd+Y).
  • Keyboard shortcuts Duplicate (Ctrl/Cmd+D), Delete, Save (Ctrl/Cmd+S), Escape to deselect, Ctrl/Cmd+0 to reset zoom.
  • Zoom & pan controls Navigate large canvases with precision.

Gang Sheet mode:

  • Upload multiple images and use Auto Build to automatically pack them onto sheets using our intelligent packing algorithms (MaxRects and Skyline).
  • Configure gap spacing, rotation, and quantity per image before packing.
  • Switch between preset sizes in the preset bar — presets that can't fit your content are automatically disabled.
  • Smart overflow If a design doesn't fit the current sheet, the system suggests a larger preset or creates additional sheets automatically.
  • Overlap & boundary validation The editor prevents overlapping designs and items exceeding sheet boundaries. Export is blocked until issues are resolved.
  • Multi-sheet support with per-sheet quantity and pricing in the order summary panel.

Apparel mode:

  • Design on a product mockup with defined print areas.
  • Switch between sides (front, back, etc.) using the sides panel.
  • Select product colors and sizes with a variant selector.

Exporting

Export as high-resolution PNG with embedded DPI metadata and transparency support.
DPI and export settings are configured per product template to ensure production-quality output.
For gang sheet orders, the uploaded design is the print file no additional export processing needed.
