1. Upload artwork

Choose a PNG, JPG, or WebP file High-resolution files work best for print. We will size the final download around 300 PPI.

2. Set the artwork size

These fields describe the artwork itself before the white border is added.

Artwork width (inches) Artwork height (inches)

These stay linked to the original file ratio so the artwork does not stretch. You can enter a smaller width or height if you plan to print smaller.

3. Add the white border

Use the same border on all sides
