I am certainly no expert at making tee shirts. I know there are others out there who are the real experts. So I’m just going to share a few helpful hints that came out of my struggles to get two tee designs uploaded on RB.
Here’s what I did:
- Opened Photoshop Elements (or any other image editing program) and set up a new empty page.
- Set the dimensions to 2400 width x 3200 height with a transparent background.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the background is not transparent, it will not work! If you are one pixel off on the dimensions, it will not work! You cannot transpose the pixels either (NOT 3200 width x 2400 height) as it will not work!
- Transferred (copied) an image to the blank/transparent background.
- Added text to complete my design.
- Saved image as a .png file.
NOTE: Other file extensions (such as .jpg) will not work! It must be a .png file!
- Uploaded to Redbubble with a default color and a default style. This will be the color and style (short-sleeve, long sleeve, etc.) you want to display on the page to showcase your design.
NOTE: If you forget to choose the defaults, it will not work!
Should I have a contest to see who can guess all the things I did wrong when I first tried to upload a tee shirt design? LOL!
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have problems or further questions.
Have a blessed day!
