A community for print shops · since 2007

Built by a print shop, for print shops.

Free browser tools for DTF, screen print and embroidery — and a community to share what we all learn on the shop floor. No signup, no pitch, no catch. We're Tshirt Factory, and we've been in this trade for nearly two decades.

Free & browser-based · nothing to install · your files never leave your device · made by a shop, not a startup

The free tools

Tools we built to save ourselves time. Yours too.

Four little browser tools for the jobs every shop does over and over. Free, no signup — and the files stay on your own machine.

BG

Background remover

Drop in an image, get a clean transparent PNG for DTF, sublimation or stickers — right in your browser, in seconds.

Open tool →
DT

DTF knockout & halftone

Color knockout, white underbase and halftones for DTF & screen print — plus a full color-separation module with ZIP export.

Open tool →
GS

Gang-sheet builder

Nest a batch of designs onto one DTF sheet to cut film waste, then export it print-ready. Less wasted film, more margin.

Open tool →
PE

SVG → PES converter

Turn a vector SVG into a PES embroidery file — satin, fill and tatami handled automatically. No pricey digitising software.

No account, no email wall, no watermark. We use these same tools in our own shop every day.

The Tshirt Printing Alliance

A trade that looks out for its own.

The tools are the start. The real thing is the community: a private Facebook group where print shops swap tips, hard-won experience and free tools. One shop helping another — not a funnel, not a pitch.

What you get

  • All the free tools above, plus new ones as we build them.
  • A room full of DTF, screen-print & embroidery shops to ask.
  • Real answers on settings, film, inks, pricing and problem jobs.
  • A say in what we build next — you know the shop floor best.

What we ask

  • Share what you know — a tip, a fix, a template, a tool of your own.
  • Be kind. We're all in the same trade.
  • No hard selling. Help first; the business takes care of itself.

No catch — the honest version

A sustainable trade is one where shops help each other.

We make our living from our design marketplace — 34,000+ print-ready designs and DTF vectors over at Tshirt Factory. The tools and this community are goodwill, plain and simple. We've been doing this since 2007, we know how lonely a small print shop can feel, and we'd rather build something useful for the trade than run another ad. That's the whole idea.

Join the alliance. Grab the tools. Pass it on.

Free tools, a room full of shops that get it, and no one trying to sell you anything. Pull up a chair.
