Transfer by Size

Sell DTF transfers by size, right on your product page.

Customers upload their art, pick a placement and garment size, and check out. You get an auto-packed, print-ready gang sheet, priced by the square inch.

Transfer by Size widget: upload, size presets, garment mockups, and a live Add to Cart price
How it works

From upload to print-ready in three steps.

1

Customer uploads their design

PNG, JPG, or WebP, dropped straight onto your product page. Background removal and AI upscaling are one click away.

2

Picks a placement and size

Front, back, left chest, youth, cap, tote, or apron, each with real garment size presets. A live DPI badge flags low-res art before it becomes a reprint.

3

You get a print-ready file

Orders are packed automatically onto your gang sheets, stamped with the order number, and delivered as a high-res PNG. Download and print.

Why Transfer by Size

Built for shops that sell transfers like garments.

Size presets that match real garments

No abstract dimensions. Customers pick the placement they actually print, and every preset maps to proven garment sizing.

  • True-to-garment sizing, from left chest up to full front and back
  • Back, left chest, youth, cap, tote bag, and apron presets included
  • Per-image quantity: customers order exactly what they need

Priced by the square inch

Set your rate once and every size prices itself. Customers see the exact cost for their selection before it hits the cart. No quote emails, no spreadsheets.

  • Configurable per-square-inch rate for your shop
  • Live price updates as customers change size and quantity
  • Priced at checkout by Shopify Functions: no variants, nothing to pre-build

Image processing built in

The same processing pipeline as our Gang Sheet Builder, so customer files arrive print-ready instead of "we'll fix it later".

  • One-click background removal at full resolution
  • AI upscaling rescues low-resolution artwork
  • Live DPI check: green at 300+ DPI, flagged below

Orders that pack themselves

Every incoming order is nested onto your sheets with bin-packing optimization. Less film wasted, nothing arranged by hand.

  • Automatic gang sheet packing on your roll width
  • Order number stamped on every rendered sheet
  • Print-ready PNG download on every line item
Who it’s for

For customers who think in shirts, not sheets.

Garment decorators, team-wear shops, and small brands usually know exactly what they want: twenty left-chest logos and fifteen full backs. Asking them to arrange a 22-inch canvas is friction they did not come for, and it is where many of them abandon a gang sheet page.

Transfer by Size lets them buy custom DTF transfers the way they buy garments: choose a placement, upload the art, set a quantity. The app does the sheet layout after checkout, packing every transfer in the order onto your roll width, so you still print efficient gang sheets while the customer never sees one.

Customers who do want to lay out their own sheet are better served by the gang sheet builder, and print professionals who arrive with a finished file by Upload Gang Sheet. All three run in the same app.

Pricing by size

How a transfer’s price is calculated.

You set one rate per square inch of printed area. Each transfer’s price is its width times its height times that rate, multiplied by the quantity. An illustration with an example rate of $0.04 per square inch (your rate is your own):

Transfer Area Price each
4 × 4 in16 sq in$0.64
10 × 12 in120 sq in$4.80
12 × 14 in168 sq in$6.72

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Transfer by Size. Something missing? Ask us directly.

What file formats can customers upload?

PNG, JPG, and WebP files are accepted directly on the product page. Background removal, AI upscaling, and automatic trimming are available as one-click options before checkout.

How is the transfer price calculated?

Pricing is per square inch of printed area, and you set the rate for your shop. Customers see the exact price for their size and quantity before adding to cart.

What do I receive when an order comes in?

Transfer by Size automatically packs every order onto your gang sheets using bin-packing optimization, stamps the order number on the file, and gives you a print-ready PNG download link on each line item.

Will it clutter my store with products and variants?

No. There are no variants at all. Every size and quantity sells through one permanent product, and Shopify Functions attach the exact price at checkout. Your catalog stays exactly as it is, and customers never see the plumbing.

Which placements and products are covered?

Size presets cover adult front and back, left chest, youth, cap, tote bag, and apron placements, each mapped to real garment sizing, so customers choose what they print rather than typing dimensions.

Can I run Transfer by Size and the gang sheet builder in the same store?

Yes. Transfer by Size, the Gang Sheet Builder, and Upload Gang Sheet all ship in the same app at no extra cost. Many shops put each on its own product page so every type of customer lands on the flow that suits them.
