How To Resize Image For Merch By Amazon For Beginners Tutorial - Uploading Design Process 2021| POD

About this video

RJ Martinez walks through several ways to resize a design for different Merch by Amazon products without relying on Photoshop or Affinity Designer, which he says crash some users’ computers. First, MerchResize.com: upload designs, select a product such as t-shirt, PopSocket, hoodie, iPhone case, Samsung case, tote bag or pillow, choose a colour, and download a converted file ready to upload; he says 20 designs can be converted at once. Second, Photopea.com, a free web-based Photoshop-like editor: he adds a black background behind a white text design (‘Monkey See Monkey Do’), uses Free Transform to shrink it away from the edges, sets the image size to 485 by 485 for a PopSocket using dimensions from a Merch by Amazon resources list, and exports as PNG. Third, the Productor Chrome extension, which resizes one design for PopSocket, phone cases, hoodie, tote bag and throw pillow in one pass. Fourth, Merch Informer, where he uploads a transparent-background design onto a hoodie mockup, adjusts sizing, and downloads a PNG; he also notes its free-for-commercial-use vectors. Finally, Canva: create a custom-size design (he uses 4500 by 4050 for a hoodie), upload the PNG, fill as much design space as possible, and download with a transparent background, which he stresses requires Canva Pro. Throughout he advises making designs as large as possible in the design area so the thumbnail is readable and earns clicks.

Key takeaways

• MerchResize.com converts uploaded designs to t-shirt, PopSocket, hoodie, phone case, tote bag and pillow sizes with a simple select-and-download workflow
• Photopea is presented as a free, web-based alternative when Photoshop or Affinity Designer crashes; he resizes a PopSocket design to 485 by 485 and exports it as PNG
• The Productor Chrome extension can resize a single design for multiple products at once
• Canva can resize via a custom-size canvas, but downloading with a transparent background requires Canva Pro — he warns not to upload a design still carrying a black background
• Make the design fill as much of the product’s design area as possible, without touching the edges, so customers can read it in the thumbnail and are more likely to click
