Issues Uploading CapCut-Themed Designs to Spreadshirt from My Website

English
#1

Hi everyone,

I run a website where users can create and share CapCut-related templates, tutorials, and designs. Recently, I’ve added a feature that allows users to export their CapCut-themed artwork (logos, thumbnails, and graphics) to be printed on merchandise like t-shirts and hoodies using Spreadshirt. However, I’m running into some issues when trying to upload these designs to Spreadshirt.

Problems I’m Facing:

  1. Image Resolution and Quality Issues
  • My website allows users to generate PNG or SVG files for their CapCut-themed designs. However, when uploading to Spreadshirt, some images appear pixelated or get rejected due to resolution issues. I’m ensuring a minimum of 4000x4000px at 300 DPI, but Spreadshirt still flags some files as “low quality.” Are there any specific compression or export settings I should follow?
  1. Transparency Handling Problems
  • Many CapCut logo designs use transparent backgrounds, but when uploaded to Spreadshirt, they sometimes appear with a white or gray background. I’m exporting in PNG format with transparency enabled—does Spreadshirt have specific transparency requirements?
  1. Color Profile Mismatch
  • Some CapCut-themed artwork created in RGB mode looks different once uploaded to Spreadshirt. The colors appear slightly faded or different from the original design. Should I be using CMYK instead? What’s the best color profile for Spreadshirt printing?
  1. Vector File Upload Rejections
  • Users who create vector-based CapCut designs export them as SVG files, but Spreadshirt rejects some uploads due to “unsupported vector paths.” I’ve tried simplifying paths and converting text to outlines, but the issue persists. Are there specific SVG requirements I should follow?

What I’ve Tried:

  • Used PNG with 300 DPI and vector SVG formats but still facing rejections.
  • Exported designs using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Inkscape, but transparency and color issues persist.
  • Tried manually adjusting color profiles but still see variations after upload.

Has anyone successfully uploaded CapCut-related designs to Spreadshirt? Any best practices for ensuring high-quality prints without rejection issues?

Thanks in advance!

Try to use to the lowest available SVG export option offered by your software.

Thanks for the suggestion! When you say “lowest available SVG export option,” do you mean reducing the complexity of the file, such as limiting the number of paths and layers, or choosing a specific SVG version (e.g., SVG 1.0 vs. 1.1 vs. Tiny)?

I’ve tried simplifying paths and flattening elements, but some designs are still getting rejected. If Spreadshirt has specific SVG compatibility requirements, could you provide more details on what settings work best?

I appreciate your help!

I mean “choosing a specific SVG version”.
But of course beside of that, the design should fulfill Spreadshirt’s requirements for vector graphics:
