How does the AI T-Shirt Designer work?

Our AI T-Shirt Designer combines AI for image generation. Describe your T-shirt design vision, select art style, mood, and customization options, and the AI creates print-ready artwork in 15-45 seconds. You can upload inspiration images and logos, add custom text, choose T-shirt colors, and even see mockups on different apparel types.

What's the difference between text-to-image and image-to-image generation?

Text-to-image mode creates designs from your description only using the fal-ai/nano-banana model. Image-to-image mode activates when you upload inspiration images (up to 2) or a logo, using the fal-ai/nano-banana/edit model. Image-to-image allows the AI to incorporate elements from your reference images into the design while following your creative prompt. Both modes cost 0.06 credits per image.

What design types and art styles are available?

Choose from 4 design types (Graphic Artwork, Typography-Only, Logo-Based, Pattern Design) and 11 art styles including Minimalist, Vintage, Streetwear, Cartoon, Abstract, Realistic, Retro, Grunge, Pop Art, Anime, and Cyberpunk. Each style dramatically changes the aesthetic of your T-shirt design, from clean minimalist graphics to bold streetwear statements.

Can I add custom text or slogans to my T-shirt design?

Yes! Enable 'Add Text/Slogan' and provide your custom text (up to 200 characters). Choose from 5 font styles (Bold Sans, Handwritten, Graffiti, Serif, Retro), select text placement (Top, Center, Bottom), customize text color with hex codes, and add effects like Outline, Shadow, or Gradient. The AI intelligently integrates the text into your design composition.

How do inspiration images and logo uploads work?

Upload up to 2 inspiration images to guide the AI's creative direction and 1 brand logo to integrate into your design. You can upload files directly (drag-and-drop or click), paste image URLs, or use base64 data URLs. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP up to 10MB per file. The AI analyzes these images and incorporates their style, colors, or elements while maintaining your design vision.

Can I choose the T-shirt color and apparel type?

Absolutely! Select any T-shirt base color using hex codes (e.g., #FFFFFF for white, #000000 for black) with our color picker. Choose from 6 apparel types: T-shirt, Hoodie, Tank Top, Sweatshirt, Polo, and Long Sleeve. You can also select mockup styles (Flat Lay, On Male/Female Model, On Mannequin, 3D Floating) to visualize how your design looks in different contexts.

What is the creativity level slider?

The creativity level (1-10 scale) controls how literally the AI interprets your prompt. Level 1-3: Very faithful to your exact description. Level 4-6: Balanced creativity (recommended) - follows your prompt but adds artistic flair. Level 7-10: Highly creative interpretation - takes artistic liberties while respecting the general theme. Experiment to find the perfect balance for your design style.

Can I generate multiple design variations?

Yes! Generate 1-4 design variations per request to explore different interpretations of your concept. Each variation uses the same parameters but creates unique results. Cost scales linearly: 1 image = 0.06 credits, 2 images = 0.12 credits, 3 images = 0.18 credits, 4 images = 0.24 credits. Perfect for A/B testing or having multiple design options to choose from.

What makes a good T-shirt design prompt?

Be specific and descriptive (50-200 words): describe the main visual elements, style, mood, colors, composition, and any specific details. Good example: 'A minimalist mountain landscape with geometric triangular peaks, clean lines, warm orange and purple gradient sunset, modern aesthetic, centered composition.' Avoid vague prompts like 'cool design' or 'make it awesome.' Include details about textures, lighting, and visual metaphors for best results.

What aspect ratios and output formats are available?

Choose from 7 aspect ratios: 1:1 (square - standard), 4:3, 3:2, 2:3 (portrait), 4:5 (portrait), 3:4 (portrait), and 16:9 (landscape). Output formats include PNG (best quality, recommended for printing), JPEG (smaller file size), and WebP (modern format, excellent compression). All designs are print-ready and high-resolution suitable for commercial production.

How much does it cost and how long does generation take?

T-shirt design generation costs 0.06 credits per image (multiply by the number of images requested). Generation typically takes 15-45 seconds depending on complexity, whether you're using image-to-image mode, and server load. You'll see the exact cost estimate before generating. Our transparent pay-per-use pricing means no subscriptions or hidden fees.

Can I use the generated designs commercially?

Yes! You own the commercial rights to all T-shirt designs generated through our platform. Use them for merchandise, print-on-demand services, apparel brands, promotional products, and commercial sales. The designs are unique and print-ready. However, if you're using uploaded logos or inspiration images, ensure you have rights to those source materials.
