There are five types of layers you can add to your templates:
Text
Picture
Artwork
Background
Mask image
Text layers
A text layer allows customers to add text to the template. Click + Add layer, then select Text. A live preview of the layer will appear on the right side of the page. You can adjust its position and settings directly within this preview.
Double-click the layer or click the pencil icon to modify its settings.
Value
Field name: The name displayed above the layer settings in the designer.
Multiline: Enable this option to allow customers to enter multiple lines of text.
Text alignment: Set the default text alignment.
Maximum characters (optional): Set a character limit for customer input. Use 0 for unlimited characters (default).
Font and Size
All fonts: Allow customers to choose from all available fonts. If unchecked, you can manually select the fonts customers can use.
Default font: Set the default font.
Default font size: Set the default font size.
Minimum font size: Define the smallest font size customers can use.
Maximum font size: Define the largest font size customers can use.
Color
Allow new colors: Enable this to let customers choose colors using a color picker.
Color selection: The list of colors displayed by default when opening the designer. Add your own colors by clicking on the Add color button, or remove colors using the Remove button. Optionally, you can enter a name for each color, which will be displayed as a tooltip when hovering over the color.
Please see Color Formats for more information about color formats.
Position
Visible in: Choose where the text should be visible. By default, the text is visible in the entire template. If you have assigned areas to the template, you can choose here to limit the visibility to that area. When the customer drags the text outside of the area, it will no longer be visible.
Position: The X and Y position in pixels calculated from the top left of the template. This position is by default the center of the template. You can change it manually, or set it to the center of another area.
Rotation: The rotation of the text in degrees when opening the designer (non-rotated by default).
Extra
Draggable: This indicates whether the customer is allowed to change the position (allowed by default).
Rotatable: This indicates whether the customer is allowed to rotate (allowed by default).
Resizable: This indicates whether the customer is allowed to resize (allowed by default).
Non-editable: This indicates whether the customer is allowed to make changes to the layer. If the layer is non-editable, it is visible but cannot be selected or modified by the user.
Required: This requires the customer to enter at least one character to be able to create a design.
Export: This indicates whether the layer should be included when exporting a design of this template.
Picture layers
A picture layer allows customers to upload images. Click + Picture to add a picture layer. A live preview appears on the right, where you can adjust its position and settings.
Click the cog icon to access additional settings.
Value
Field name: The name shown above the layer settings in the designer.
Description: Text shown with this layer in the designer, this can contain extra information or instructions.
Allowed file types: Configure which file types the user can upload in this layer.
Default picture: Choose which picture is shown by default.
Size (Configure the minimum resolution and default scaling)
Minimum resolution for raster images: Configure the quality of images that you want to receive from the user.
Default: Use the template's resolution and consider your store's maximum image scaling setting. This ensures images meet your base quality requirements while respecting the default scale you set.
Custom Resolution: Specify the minimum number of pixels per inch (PPI) required to fill the picture layer. This offers more precise control over image quality.
No Resolution: Allow users to upload images of any size. This provides flexibility but may result in lower-quality images that appear pixelated when scaled.
When picture is updated: Choose how new images are displayed within the designated area.
Fill: The image will be scaled to completely fill the designated area.
Fit: The image will be scaled to fit within the designated area while maintaining its original proportions.
Important Note: Scaling will always consider the minimum resolution setting you defined. The image will be scaled as close as possible to this resolution while respecting the chosen behavior (fill or fit). This ensures uploaded images meet your quality standards.
Size requirement: Control how we handle images that are too small or don't fully cover the designated area.
Warn: Users will be notified if the image is either too small to fill the area or doesn't cover it entirely. They can still create the design, but the image might appear blurry or incomplete.
Error: Users won't be able to create the design until they upload an image that's both large enough and covers the entire designated area.
Position
Visible in: choose where the picture should be visible. By default, the picture is visible in the entire template. If you have assigned areas to the template, you can choose here to limit the visibility to that area. When the customer drags the image outside of the area, it won't be visible anymore.
Position: the X and Y position in pixels calculated from the top left of the template. This position is by default the center of the template. You can change it manually, or change it to the center of another area.
Rotation: the rotation of the picture in degrees when opening the designer (non-rotated by default)
Extra
Draggable: Indicates if the customer is allowed to change the position (allowed by default).
Rotatable: Indicates if the customer is allowed to rotate (allowed by default).
Resizable: Indicates if the customer is allowed to resize (allowed by default).
Non-editable: Indicates if the customer is allowed to make changes to the layer. If the layer is non-editable, the layer is visible, but it can't be selected or changed by the user.
Required: Requires the customer to upload a picture to be able to create a design.
Export: Indicates if the layer should be included when exporting a design of this template.
Artwork layers

Description: Text shown with this layer in the designer, this can contain extra information or instructions.
Limit selection to Artwork groups (optional): Define groups of artwork the customer can choose from.
Default artwork: choose which artwork is shown by default.
Size (Configure the minimum resolution and default scaling)
Minimum resolution for raster images: Configure the quality of the used artwork.
Default: Use the template's resolution and consider your store's maximum image scaling setting. This ensures the selected artwork meets your base quality requirements while respecting the default scale you set.
Custom Resolution: Specify the minimum number of pixels per inch (PPI) required to fill the artwork layer. This offers more precise control over image quality.
No Resolution: Allow users to select artwork of any size. This provides flexibility but may result in lower-quality images that appear pixelated when scaled.
When picture is updated: Choose how artwork is displayed within the designated area.
Fill: The artwork will be scaled to completely fill the designated area.
Fit: The artwork will be scaled to fit within the designated area while maintaining its original proportions.
