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 do I have to consider when using designs from the Design Gallery in my shop?

Designs which appear in the Design Gallery are created by designers who earn money by selling their products on the Marketplace , in the T-shirt Designer or in Spreadshirt shops. Some of these designs originate from Spreadshirt as well.

As a Shop Partner, you can use designs from the Design Gallery in your shop and sell them. The original designer automatically receives the commission which they set for that design.

The distinct advantage of Marketplace designs: creative designers' ingenuity increases your shop's appeal. Good designs catch the attention of customers and greatly increase the amount of orders.

Designers can remove their designs from the Marketplace at any time. We will then complete any orders which might have already been placed.
