Your exact print size, crisp at 300 DPI

We scale your art to the width you ask for, at a sharp 300 DPI. It prints clean even if the file you started with was small.

Thin lines protected

Thin lines and small text get an outline in your shirt colour, so they stay on the transfer instead of falling off.

Transparent, press-ready PNG

Background removed, edges cleaned, extra space trimmed away. A clean transparent file, ready to send to the printer.

Halftone blending

Halftones that
melt into the shirt.

We turn the art into tiny dots that fade into the shirt colour: solid in the dark parts, small dots in the middle, nothing at the edges. One file, shown on different shirt colours.

Prep

Removes the background, cleans the edges, trims the extra space, and scales the art to your exact print width at 300 DPI. You can also remove one shirt colour, or add a halftone.

HTTP: POST /v1/prep
MCP: prep_artwork
Output: 300 DPI transparent PNG

Vectorize

Traces your exact art into a vector file that stays sharp at any size — no AI redrawing. Keep every colour, or limit it to a few clean colours for screen print. We can remove the background first if you need it.

HTTP: POST /v1/vectorize
MCP: vectorize_artwork
Output: Vector SVG

Recolor

Swap one colour for another, or make the whole design a single colour. Works on both PNG and SVG files without hurting quality.

HTTP: POST /v1/recolor
MCP: recolor_artwork
Output: PNG or SVG, same as source

Vectorize, raster to SVG

Output: a clean, infinitely scalable vector SVG.

Your art traced into sharp vector lines — true to the original, never AI-redrawn. Make it billboard-size and it stays sharp.

Inside the prep engine

Background Removal

Picks the best way to remove the background for each file, then cleans up the edges.

300 DPI at Print Size

Scales to the exact width you ask for, trims to the artwork, and embeds 300 DPI in the PNG.

Garment-Colour Knockout

Pick one shirt colour to remove it from the design — or skip it and keep every colour.

Halftone Blending

Turns the art into tiny dots that fade into the shirt colour — solid in the middle, gone at the edges.

Thin-Line Protection

An optional thin outline in the shirt colour keeps small text and thin lines from falling off the print.

Thin-Line Detection

Warns you how much of the design is too thin to print well — before you print it.

Names & numbers — free

A whole team’s worth of lettering. In one go.

Numbering a roster is the worst hour in the shop — one name at a time, one number at a time, arcing every last one by hand. Drop the roster in, style the lettering once, and every player comes back print-ready.

Drop a CSV — or a photo of the sign-up sheet, a screenshot, a coach’s messy text. AI reads it and sorts out names, numbers, and sizes.

Then build the lettering the way you would by hand: a fill, a stroke, a second stroke floated off the letter for that two-colour twill edge, an arch across the shoulders. Set it on one player and the whole roster follows.

Number a roster — free Free — no credits needed, just an account.

The backs of three hockey jerseys on the ice — TREMBLAY 17, ROY 23 and LEBLANC 11 — each with an arched name above a large number in outlined block lettering.

The actual tool — import the roster, stack a stroke, offset a second one, arch the name. Every player updates as you go.

Any roster, any format

CSV, a pasted list, a screenshot, a photo of the sign-up sheet. AI pulls out the names, numbers and sizes.

Stack fills and strokes

Build the lettering in layers like Illustrator's Appearance palette: a fill, then as many strokes as you want, each with its own colour and width in inches. Reorder them top to bottom.

Offset outlines

Give a stroke a gap and it lifts off the letter, leaving see-through space between — the classic two-colour tackle-twill look, in one click.

Arch, spacing, stretch

Arch or bow the name, tighten or open letter spacing, and stretch width and height independently — strokes and gaps scale with it.

Your font, your sizes

Eleven print faces bundled, or upload your own TTF, OTF or WOFF. Set the name height once and a number size per player.

300 DPI, transparent

Every piece rendered at true print size on transparent, named {number}_{name}_{size} — the same output spec as the prep engine.

Preview on the garment

Drop the artwork onto the shirt colour before you commit. Files stay transparent; the preview is just for your eyes.

ZIP or gang sheet

One file per player, or the whole team nested onto a 22-inch gang sheet ready to send to the printer.

Coming soon: /v1/roster — number a whole team from the API or an agent, same as prep and vectorize.

Built for agentic workflows

Your agent calls MajorDTF over MCP, same engine as the HTTP API. Prep, vectorize and recolor, with inline results returned right in the chat.

Your agent — Claude, Cursor, etc.
