This video was so good. Not sure how I missed this one, but you've talked about MyDesigns so many times and demo'd it with such precision that I just signed up (using your link and code) and can't wait to use it. What a great time saving tool. I notice that you really provide videos about tools that you use and I can tell that you do a lot of sourcing. I trust your posts and appreciate your willingness to teach and share this information with us newbies. Question: I noticed that you chose not to upscale before removing background and vectorizing. In previous videos, you've mentioned upscaling prior to removing the background in programs such as Illustrator, or using ai, so I was wondering if you've changed your flow when using My Designs... Do you upscale in MJ and work with their upscaled version when you use My Designs By the way, the prompts you provide are so damn helpful. The fonts too. Your entire damn channel is a wealth or information and I share it often watch your videos multiple times. Good to see some humble gents doing their POD thing, helping others level up.
So here's a question as it relates to digital products. If I want to list these items in one listing, would I still have to download it all as a zip? Or could I still do everything in bulk to upload? That step is what I'm not understanding. EDITED TO ADD: By one listing, I'm meaning the same photo with the JPG, SVG, etc, in one listing of the same photo. I guess I'm not really understanding the step to download a zip file when, instead, I want to use MyDesigns to them list them.
no you don't have to download them as a zip in that case. I go over a digital download workflow with mydesigns in this video ua-cam.com/video/wgFqw_pzHlw/v-deo.html It's a bit outdated now but will create an updated video in the future
Please can I ask a couple of questions! After downloading the AI images, do I need to upscale the size and dpi first before vectorizing them? When they download as a PNG is in 330 ppi if I'm not mistaken... and if so, do I need to change them to 300 dpi before using? Sorry, slightly confused. Thought I'd ask you before I start doing the process for all my images. The vectorizer is amazing quality! Thanks in advance Philip!
Wow, my Designs offers great opportunities. I don't get it really in detail, but this seems to be really great. I have to translate the page for understanding the reason and website completely. Thank you! I guess I would pay for this if it is what I hope right now...
Thanks so much for this video Philip Could I ask you if you think it is necessary to vectorize text based designs for POD. Mine are coming out of Canva just under a MB and the high resolution in Pixelmator doesn't seem to work with them. Thank you x
Hi, thanks for doing these tutorials. How do you proceed to delete backgound and contour area on stickers? I tried removing the contour of a sticker that the background was already removed and it put it back
Hi Philip, I am a bit confused. I can't find your LINK in description for registry to vectorizer. Is it gone? I would like to registry via your LINK. I am still starting my POD. This is very very helpful for me TO correct my faults and save my not POD quality made Designs. How to register via Philip Anders? Kindest regards from Berlin, Germany
Well... it seems every time I watch this video I pick up another thing I should have done. I uploaded a ton of files but stopped at SVG and couldn't upload to CANVA. Actually what I should have done is just a few files and taken the steps all the way to CANVA to see if I did it correctly. Doh!!! I think I've got it now. 1. Add folders and Upload files to them. 2. Select 24 at a time to make into vectors 3. Remove the background if you want if you are a paid member 4. Select 24 files, Place one into "canvas" set at 4500x5400 for most designs. Choose input to SVG. Set output slot to 4500x5400 or PNG. 5. Align the file as you wish 6. Click "Synch" 7. Click "Apply" 8. Continue with the next 24 files... Just make sure the ones we synch are similar dimensions. Also we only get 2GB as free members so we need to delete folders eventually.
@@Kevin-rf9sx It is. After you've upscaled the image you can open it in Canvas set at 4500x5400 pixels. Then adjust the size and save as PNG. Pretty much as Philip said.
Great looks nice "myDesign", but one question please about the step turning SVG to PNG... When I do center the design in the frame. Is it important to fit the lines perfect or should the design keep a little bit space to the frame? Would this change the dimensions, angles or something? Or is the design only a little bit smaller? Background is transparent so this would be no problem isnt it? Put the design perfect fitting line on line or like "ever I want"? Thank you Philip, greetings Sven
Help lol questions on the canvas are on my design website. When i ente canva size for W & H i cannot enter 9.3 x 8.2 which is for tumblers designs. I coverted it to pixels, but if i put something on W, it changes the H am soo confused. Please help, thank you
Canva pro doesn't have it either, the 500pixel max crappy remove. BG does let u but it's 500×500 so frustrating! With all this brilliant ai stuff you'd think these things would be a bit easier by now...
Hi Philip, can you tell me why after I download my SVG files from MyDesigns as a zip file it will only open with Adobe Illustrator? I am using a MacBook
I removed background and vectorized 24 designs just now and the quality has dropped significantly. Have you run into this problem and what should I do?
@@PhilipAnders both MyDesign & Kittl remove backgrounds differently, I also made the mistake of not putting white backgrounds on my images, but with kittl, if you’re removing the backgrounds from these same images JPEG or whatever format you get from MJ, kittl removes the backgrounds almost perfectly. I think I may have to purchase PS and just try and crop out the images myself.
Hello. I wanted to use my own gmail account and was informed that such an account existed. So how do I create an account? Will I be able to use the free account forever?
PPI is relevant only for raster graphics like images, while vector graphics maintain their quality regardless of the output resolution. Vectors are defined by mathematical equations rather than a grid of pixels.
Thanks for bringing my attention to Vectorizer AI, they do a stellar job of vectorizing. It was the perfect combo adding it to MyDesigns and enabling bulk vectorizing. 🫡

@@PhilipAnders thanks! I think I did watch this recently.
Hello Philip,
Would it be beneficial to first vectorize the image and then remove the background? This might make it easier to detect the background.
the background remover tool isn't able to process vectors I believe
thanks for the video ,really needed this tool

You don't have to upscale or enhance dpi first. Vectorizing is like a cheat code it takes care of dpi and quality.
@PhilipAnders Great, thanks so much that saves a lot of time!
So do you recommend up scaling, removing background, and then vectorizing, in that order?
Many thanks with your sharing, Philip.❤
A great tool doing an amazing job. 😎Thank you and enjoy your weekend. 🌞❤️
WOW! This is amazing! I'm definitely going to be using this app, I've already signed up. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy it!

vectorizing is more for ai designs. If you create them in Canva at the right dimensions you should be fine
Oh thanks so much for getting back so quickly, I really appreciate it, and that puts my mind at rest...I just sold one 5 mins ago 😅x@@PhilipAnders

Is the upscale to png option free?

uncheck the "keep aspect ratio" box
The bad part ist that there is no correction method when the program failed to remove background properly.
Canva pro doesn't have it either, the 500pixel max crappy remove. BG does let u but it's 500×500 so frustrating! With all this brilliant ai stuff you'd think these things would be a bit easier by now...
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks for the video. That is going to be a great help! Is there a way to do batch water marks on mock ups?
Yes you can do that with the canvas system as well. I go over the Canvas system more in this video ua-cam.com/video/fYV044NhcpM/v-deo.html
Hi Philip, can you tell me why after I download my SVG files from MyDesigns as a zip file it will only open with Adobe Illustrator? I am using a MacBook
Did you unzip / extract the zip file first?
I removed background and vectorized 24 designs just now and the quality has dropped significantly. Have you run into this problem and what should I do?
Is it necessary to upscale midjourney photos in MyDesign? Or is vectorizing enough at that point because you can scale essentially unlimited right?
Vectorizing is enough yeah. Photographic images do look better upscaled though. vectorizers are best for digital art, more flat cartoon like

As i allready said, you are awesome.😊
Thank you for the video! Is there a way to export as RGB color, 8 bits/channel per Amazon Merch specs?
Hello. I wanted to use my own gmail account and was informed that such an account existed. So how do I create an account? Will I be able to use the free account forever?
Is the upscale to png free too?
How is MyDesign used in Merch by Amazon? Is it only useful for own POD store, Etsy, since can''t upload to Merch? Thanks
How much credits does vectorizing costs in mydesign?
2 credits per image
Is there a way to bulk download the converted PNG files without having to individually select the designated PNG slot for each render?
Oh wait I figured it out lol
Great Vid. How do I set the PPI to 300 like yours?
PPI is relevant only for raster graphics like images, while vector graphics maintain their quality regardless of the output resolution. Vectors are defined by mathematical equations rather than a grid of pixels.
If you have a high quality image, do you still need to vectorize it for print on demand?
no you do not
i cant see vectorise option... Is it available in free plan?
yes it is
Same - it's not there.
@@holisticfoxstudio exactly! Still not there!
was happy about vectorize on My Design - unfortunately changing gradient colors to vectors is total disaster, its not handling that task.
I subscribed from Singapore for prmopt tutorials for one piece anime themed t-shirts, can you tell me the prompt
Thanks is it Feb 2024.. and they are saying it costs credits to vectorize now.. so you can't do it on the FREE plan I guess
Canva gives you also an SVG file. It this directly a vektor file then? Even when i us photos there?
I don't think that actually turns the image into a true vector
@@PhilipAnders yeah i dont know If it is a real vector
Good job!
thank you
Open any PNG file that you've done, set the BG to black and zoom in on the edges. :)
Wouldn’t there be copyright issues with tracing those images
If you trace someone else's image yes. If you use your own, no
@@PhilipAnders as I thought ok great thanks 🙏
thanks ,.... 🙏 🙏 🙏
So to get the background out one has to pay ?
With MyDesigns yes. There are free ways for removing BG onr at a time. I made a video about it a while back
Hey Philip great video thanks for the info. Did you think this Vectorize app is better than Abobe Illustrator for converting raster to vector?
Definitely! I have tried the illustrator function and the results are usually quite bad compared to this tool
Great video
Thanks!
I can‘t get the vectorizor for free anymore, ist will costs me 2 credits… 😢
Curious what is the difference in using the illustrator trace tool? A comparison would be cool
Good idea! I've used both and typically Adobe performs way worse
Interesting.
Still better
Agora é pago

Excuse me I guess I found it. it is "My Designs" ... I searched for Vectorizor, sorry.
No longer free to use. Boo.
