Size Preview shows how your design actually sits on every available size of a product — before you publish.

Until now, you had to guess. Mockups only show a couple of sizes, so you couldn't really tell how your artwork would land on the smallest or largest garment. Size Preview removes the guesswork: one screen, every size, your real design.

You'll find it in Step 1 — Design in the Creator.

Every garment size has its own print area. When a design is shrunk to fit a smaller size, two things can go wrong:

Because mockups only showed a few sizes, you often didn't catch this until a customer received the product. Size Preview lets you see and fix it up front.

Open a product in the Creator and go to Step 1 — Design. Open Size Preview from the sidebar.

You'll see a card for each available size, each showing your current design in that size's print area.

Note: Size Preview is only shown for products with more than one size. If a product has a single size, there's nothing to compare, so the feature is hidden.

One size card is marked Canvas size. This is the largest size — the one you're actually designing on in the editor. Every other size is generated from it, so the Canvas size is your reference point.

To understand the two methods, you only need one fact about clothing manufacturing.

Your design canvas is the largest size available for that product. On the Fashion Hoodie, for example, that's 4XL. When you save your design, our factory generates a separate print file for every size the product is sold in, from that one canvas.

Garment sizes don't shrink evenly. A size S front panel isn't simply a smaller copy of the 4XL panel. As sizes go down, pattern pieces become narrower at the sides faster than they become shorter. This is called grading, and it's how clothing is made in every factory in the world, including ours.

This creates a real question for your artwork. If the whole design is simply scaled down as one image, anything placed near the side seams moves past the cut line on smaller sizes and gets trimmed off. The Scaling method setting puts that decision in your hands, for every layer.

One rule applies to both methods, and it's the most common misunderstanding, so read it first:

In both methods, your artwork gets smaller as the garment gets smaller. The size of the artwork is never the difference between the two methods. The only difference is how each layer is positioned on the smaller sizes.

You choose the method in the Layer Settings (the Settings panel on the right, shown when a layer is selected), and Size Preview updates instantly so you can compare.

Adapt to each size (default for new layers)

The layer is positioned separately for every garment size, relative to that size's own print area. A logo placed a certain distance from the left seam stays that same relative distance from the left seam on every size.

Scale with design

The classic method. All layers are treated as one single image, exactly as you arranged them on the canvas. That complete image is scaled down as a whole for each size.

Neither method is better than the other. They solve different jobs, and most finished designs use both: a background on Scale with design, and logos or text on Adapt to each size. Next to the Scaling method label you'll also find a See example link that opens a live comparison — if you're unsure, open it once; it explains the feature faster than any text.

Ask one question per layer: what matters more for this layer, staying visible or staying in place?

You can mix methods freely in one design. A typical hoodie uses Scale with design for the full background layer and Adapt to each size for the chest logo and sleeve text.

The scaling method decides how layers behave. Size Preview lets you verify the result on your actual design.

What to check per method:

We recommend a quick Size Preview pass on every design before publishing, especially when any layer sits close to a seam.

When we say parts of a layer are trimmed on smaller sizes, nothing is deleted from your file and nothing is missing from the print.

The full image is printed on the fabric. The panel is then cut along the cut line and sewn. Artwork that extends past the cut line is printed and then cut away with the excess fabric. In manufacturing this overflow is called bleed, and it's standard practice in all cut and sew production. For backgrounds, bleed is exactly what you want, because it guarantees the print reaches all the way into the seams with no unprinted gaps.

The safe print area shown on your canvas as a red dashed line is related but different. It's a static guide on the design canvas: keep critical elements inside it and they'll remain safely away from seams and cutting tolerances on the canvas size. The scaling method then controls what happens to each layer on all the other sizes. Use both: design important elements inside the safe print area, and give each layer the right scaling method.
