No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

Why convert PNG to SVG before DTG printing: - DTG printers apply ink directly to fabric using an inkjet head. Soft edges, compression artefacts, and noisy pixel data in the source PNG print exactly as they appear.
DTG file requirements: - Format: transparent PNG - Resolution: 300 DPI at the print area size (minimum 150 DPI accepted by most DTG software) - Colour mode: RGB with sRGB profile - Background: transparent for accurate underbase generation on dark garments
Workflow: 1. Upload the original PNG or JPG to the vectorizer above. 2. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. 3. Scale to the required print area dimensions in Inkscape. 4. Export as a 300 DPI transparent PNG. 5. Upload to the DTG print software (Kothari, Epson Garment Creator, Brother GTX).
Print area dimensions: - Standard T-shirt front: 12 × 16 inches → 3600 × 4800 px at 300 DPI - Hoodie front: 12 × 16 inches - Pocket print: 4 × 4 inches → 1200 × 1200 px at 300 DPI
