Every size from one design
A family order, a team or a shop listing needs the same design on shirts from toddler to adult 3XL, and each size wants its own print width. Size charts tell you the widths; this page makes the files. Every ticked size comes back as its own transparent PNG at 300 dpi, with the print size written into the file and the size in its name, so nothing gets mixed up at the press.
What you get
- One PNG per size, 300 dpi, transparent, named like
design-adult-m-10.5in.png. - All sizes side by side at the same scale, so you see the jump from youth to adult before you print.
- A warning for sizes your file is too small for, with how many pixels per inch it has at each size.
- With Pro, every size in one ZIP and a gang sheet with your quantities on a 22 inch roll.
How to use it
- Drop your design, or start from the sample.
- Tick the sizes you are pressing and set how many of each.
- Check the widths against your printer's chart and change any that differ.
- Download each size, or the whole run with Pro.
What it does not do
- It does not fix a design for film. For shadows, soft edges and halos, run it through DTF-ready PNG first.
- The widths are our starting points inside printers' published ranges, not a standard. Printers differ.
- It does not add detail: a small file stays soft at a big size.
Questions
What size should a DTF transfer be for each shirt size?
Transfer printers publish ranges, and they differ. Read on 27 October 2026, three printers' charts put an adult full front at about 10 to 12 inches wide (12 to 14 for 2XL and up), youth at 7 to 9, toddler at 4 to 7 and a left chest at 3 to 4.5. This page starts each size at one number inside those ranges and lets you change every width. Check your own printer's chart before you order.
Why one file per size instead of one file I scale on the press?
A transfer prints at the size of the file. Printers and gang sheet services ask for each size as its own file at 300 dpi, and pressing a youth shirt with an adult-sized transfer runs the print into the seams. One file per size, named by size, keeps an order of mixed sizes straight.
What does "will print soft" mean?
At each size the page counts how many of your design's pixels land on each inch. Under 200 per inch, a common rule of thumb, edges start to look soft on film. The page still makes the file at 300 dpi, but it cannot add detail that is not in your picture: start from a bigger file, or enlarge it with upscale for print.
What about a tall design?
Widths are how printers size shirt prints, so the height follows your design. A tall design at an adult width can run longer than you want down the shirt: set the tallest a print may be, and any size that would pass it is made narrower instead, keeping its shape.
Can I send the whole run to a gang sheet?
Yes, with Pro: set how many of each size, and the page packs them onto a 22 inch roll with the gang sheet builder's own layout, as transparent 300 dpi PNGs. Free, download each size and add them to the gang sheet builder yourself.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Your design is read and resized in your browser, and every file is saved from memory on your device.
