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.
