Here's how it works (idea to design in 3 steps)

Describe your idea, pick the model, and export a transparent PNG you can print. Every step in Create Studio keeps you moving toward a tangible file.

Step 1

Describe your idea

  • Type a text prompt or speak it
  • Upload up to 4 reference images
  • Let Genni refine the prompt if you are stuck
Step 2

Pick your model and hit generate

  • Base for 95% of everyday merch
  • Ultra or Ultra Max for extra detail
  • Generate all three at once to compare
Step 3

Export and use it

  • Transparent PNG ready for DTF, mockups, print
  • Send to Approve Studio for client sign-off
  • Visualize it on a shirt with Mockup Studio

Not sure which model to choose?

Ask Genni right inside the app. Describe what you're trying to make and it recommends Base, Ultra, Ultra Max, or all three.

Voice input

Talk to Create Studio and watch it keep up

Voice input feels electric—tap the mic, describe your idea, and see the prompt assemble live. Instant translation keeps bilingual teams moving without switching tools, and edits land faster than typing.

Live transcript

01.“add neon pink drop shadow around the text”
02.“translate headline to Spanish for our Cancun shop”
03.“give me three layout options with a circle badge”
04.“switch to Ultra Max and add metallic ink details”

Why it’s faster

  • Instant transcription mirrors how shops brainstorm while printing, packing, or talking to clients.
  • Automatic English ↔ Spanish translation keeps multi-lingual teams synced without extra steps.
  • Micro-adjust colors, fonts, or layout hands-free while you prep screens or stage garments.
  • Every spoken edit is logged so you can rewind, reuse, or fine-tune prompts later.

“Voice makes it feel instant.”

Click, talk, generate. That’s the loop shops rave about.

Ohio print shop shaved days off approvals.

“Create Studio replaced our need to hire a part-time designer. We generate 3-4 options for clients in the time it used to take one artist to make one sketch. The designs are solid enough that clients rarely ask for changes.”

Questions

Questions about Create Studio

Can I use Base designs commercially?

Yes. Every design you generate is yours to sell, print, and ship. That's exactly why we built Create Studio.

What's the difference between Base, Ultra, and Ultra Max?

Base nails text-heavy merch. Ultra adds more detail. Ultra Max shines on photoreal or complex art. Generate all three to compare.

Does every design come as a transparent PNG?

Yes. Transparency is baked in across all models—no background hacks required.

Can I generate designs for screen printing?

Absolutely. Base is tuned for separations, and Ultra/Ultra Max give you extra detail when you need it.

How many designs do I get on the free plan?

100 Base designs every month. It is a usable plan, not a teaser tier.

What if I don't like the design?

Generate again, test variations, or switch models. Iterate quickly until it matches the brief.
