Platform spec
Printify image requirements
Dimensions are decided by the product and the print provider, so there is no single Printify size — anyone quoting one is quoting a different platform. Prepare at 300 DPI across whatever print area the chosen provider uses. Files are capped at 100 MB for PNG and JPG, 20 MB for SVG.
Full specification
| Dimensions | product → print provider → print area |
|---|---|
| Recommended density | 300 DPI |
| Large-format products | 120 – 150 DPI (leggings, blankets, tapestries) |
| Maximum PNG / JPEG | 100 MB |
| Maximum SVG | 20 MB |
| Authoritative source | the design template for the chosen product |
Why the recommended size matters more than the DPI figure
DPI is a ratio, and a ratio without a physical size tells you nothing. Rather than remembering "it needs 300 DPI", remember this platform's recommended pixel dimensions — get the pixel count right and the DPI follows. The reverse never works: a file tagged 300 DPI with too few pixels fails everywhere.
Batch, auto-fix and exports
Checking one file at a time is free and always will be. Batch checking up to 100 files, one-click exports sized for every platform, and CSV reports are part of Seller.
Exports are padded and centred to each platform's size on a transparent canvas. Nothing is ever upscaled — a file enlarged to pass a dimension check still prints soft, which is the failure this tool exists to prevent.
Frequently asked questions
Does Printify need a transparent background?
Yes. Without an alpha channel the white background is treated as ink, and on a dark garment it prints as a visible white box around the artwork.
How reliable are these numbers?
They come from the platform's published upload requirements. Platforms revise specs, so check the official documentation before an upload that matters.
