Spreadshirt-Designer: Guide

What is the Spreadshirt Designer and how can I make my own t-shirt here?

With the Spreadshirt Designer you can design and order your own t-shirts and other products from our apparel assortment. There is no minimum order: you're free to order just one, individually printed shirt.

  1. Choose a t-shirt from our selection. You don’t know which size you need? Find out by clicking on the small information mark next to the product name. Details of the weight and manufacturing can be found there as well.
  2. Choose a design. You can upload your own photography, or pick one out from our Design Network (see Spreadshirt Marketplace). To find out which designs you can upload to the Spreadshirt Designer, have a look at this FAQ item. For basic info on designs for Spreadshirt, click here.
  3. But text can also be nice. Choose a font and write what you want. Your design and text can be turned, mirrored or enlarged within the given print area.
  4. Once the t-shirt looks like you want, proceed to check out and order it.


Every personally designed article is an original: Your design will be placed on the t-shirt according to your instructions. Since this action is not automated, it is possible that there could be minor alterations. Also, it's possible that the design will look smaller or larger in reality. This is because the t-shirt example shown is always a fixed size (often "medium", sometimes "small").

What is the Spreadshirt Marketplace and what can I do there?

The Spreadshirt Marketplace is our shopping mall where you can find the shirts that you have always been looking for. Every product here is designed by our community and anyone can participate.

Here is how the Marketplace works:

Contribute your work: Upload your own designs in your user area My Account. As soon as your design has been cleared by Spreadshirt's Graphics Service, you can set a commission for the design that you will earn each time it is sold. Now you can do this:

  • Create products: You can create as many products as you wish with one design and add them to the Marketplace. Every time a user buys one of your products there, the Design Commission you set will be credited to your account.
  • Offer your designs: Add your designs to the Design Gallery. This design will then be available in the T-shirt Designer under "Designs". The design commission you set up in your user account will also be credited to you if someone buys a t-shirt here with your design. Partners can also use the designs from the Design Gallery on products in their Spreadshirt shops. If a product is purchased in this shop, your account will be credited with the Design Commission.

Buy: You can browse through the different departments at the top of the navigation bar or browse by topic. You can also enter the word into the search bar to find a specific product you are looking for.

Did you find something? You can order it right away. Simply click on the product, choose the size and amount, add it to the cart and go through the checkout.

Note: you can also modify every product in the Marketplace by inserting text and matching colors until the product meets your expectations. Simply click on the "Personalize product" button on the detail page of the specific product.
