I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your 'straight-to-the-goshdarn-point' tips and tutorials!! They are so easy to follow, and honest ! Literally EVERYTHING I need to know about the Ins and Outs of starting or improving an online shop! You have given me the tools I need to start my own Online Shop endeavor with a 'NO need to PANIC' state of mind.....THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼
I appreciate the feedback very much, thank you for taking the time and I am so glad that you find it helpful - that is the goal!
You are always clear with your videos. Thank you
Finally someone explains file sizes and types thank u Zen o very much!
Very useful info, thanks for making life less frustrating!
Perfectly simplified and easy to digest information. You are appreciated my friend!!
Duuude the amount of value in this video is insane. Thank you! So good to find someone who isn't pushing the paid version of canva.
Great job, this is the first video of yours I've watched, will be watching more.
Thanks again, brilliant work 👏
Thank you so much, I appreciate the feedback! I have another channel too for anyone who likes print-on-demand stuff: ua-cam.com/channels/2ASEJPQDf1FjEtJBVwBFmw.html
Thank you, it cleared up some questions I had. I do all these types but I also include a PDF because I believe it's the simplest type of file everyone understands and can easily open.
This came out at the right time. I was looking for the 'right size' for a PNG. I figured 4000px on the long side, definitely like the 5400px on the long side advice. Thanks
great info...thank you
A lot of (great) information presented in an easy to follow examples. A lot for me at one run through but I will be back. Probably again and again. Thanks for great presentation, it is this audience that is slow to catch all.
I appreciate the feedback, thank you for taking the time!
great content!
Thanks for another great video! For the DXF file, do we use the SVG file (same settings, size etc) and click export as DXF?
Ty
Very nice video. I really appreciate for it. That's the video I have been looking for. I have a question. If I am not wrong , you said that for jpeg I have to go to affinity so we cannot do that in inkscape?
Hey there - yes you can save a JPEG in Inkscape. Just click "File > Save As" and there are a bunch of different types. Sometimes I am messing around in Affinity so just save it as a JPEG in there (there are multiple tools to do it). Hope that helps!
You are amazing with all the content you create and share! I'm still confused a bit - I plan to sell digital downloaded wall art that are sold in 5 sizes (all jpeg). How do I create all the aspect ratios that are sold (2x3, 3x4, 4x5, 11x14 and international)? I know how to create the file as 300 DPI but creating different sizes is lost on me! Thanks in advance for any tips or maybe even a video going through the details! Cheers!
yes that is a great question and I definitely can cover this in a video (I appreciate the suggestion)! Basically it depends on the software (like if you are using Photoshop, you can just change the canvas size and then shuffle your image around. What program are you using to create the jpeg?
I have the MacOS version of inkscape. I cant seem to find the advanced tab to fix the DPI. Do you know how to find it?
Hi, great help thank you, but in the last version I cn not find the advance button to force the dpi to 300...would be nice if you can let us know...on forums is mostly what yoy were showing here on this old version
I was struggling with this on the newer version too! If you click on Export, and look under the Image Size settings, next to the canvas preview you'll see two boxes - Export Selected Only and Hide Export Settings. If Hide Export Settings is selected, uncheck that box. Then, when you go to save, a small box will pop up - change the pHYsDPI to your desired DPI and it will save it that way. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I was given two choices to download SVG files: Inkscape SVG or Plain SVG, which one should I use? I want to make sure everybody can open the file no matter what program they use. Thanks so much!
Hey there - it's basically the same file. The 'Inkscape' SVG just has some metadata inside it to help Inkscape understand it better but they are essentially the exact same data points. So I would say use the Inkscape SVG because there is no downside to using it outside of Inkscape.
@@craftystax Ok, I will. Thank you!
Do all the main POD companies RB Printify Printful accept Vectors SVG etc im new to all this file types.
No, generally you would upload a PNG file or a JPEG file. SVG files used by customers are mostly for Silhouette machines (digital cutting machines that cut elaborate designs into paper and other mediums). For a regular t-shirt design, you would typically use a PNG or JPEG file.
What If I save my SVG PNG JPG all as 4500 x 5400 pixels with Canva.
Is that okay, or will I get bad reviews on one of them if I sell on Etsy?
Can I then just convert the PNG into DXF and EPS without doing anything extra and then sell them all and have a clear conscience that they will be all in perfect condition?
Hey there - I typically save the SVG file as a pretty small file (because it is infinitely scalable, so there is no advantage to make the SVG large). For the others, 4500 x 5400 is a great idea as that is the base size for Merch by Amazon (a popular site). You are on the right track - convert them all and then if you get a complaint/question from a customer (which will happen eventually) - just tweak the size for them and they will typically be thrilled with the great customer service!
whats the difference between an svg and a dpx. oi though svg was a cutting file thats why im confused 😩
I'm not sure what a DPX file is. I've seen DXF files, which are cutting files used specifically by AutoCAD.
Hi! I really like the content you made and really want to talk to you more. How can I connect with you through Social Network.?
