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.

Screen printing requires artwork in a specific format: vector files with clean, separated color paths and no gradients or blends (unless using simulated process printing). The SVG format delivers exactly this — a file where each color region is a discrete, editable path.
Most screen print shops charge art preparation fees to reformat raster logos for print production. Submitting a clean SVG from the start eliminates this cost and speeds up the print timeline. The printer's prepress team works directly with your SVG, assigns Pantone colors, creates registration marks, and outputs films or screens.
Color count matters for screen printing pricing. Each color in your design adds a screen setup cost. Review your SVG after conversion — if the vectorizer produced more colors than intended, manually merge similar-colored paths in a vector editor to reduce the color count before submitting.
For black and white or single-color jobs: convert to a simple two-tone SVG. This is the most economical screen print option and produces the sharpest result on garments.
