Free DTF
Gang Sheet Builder
Put several designs on one print-sized sheet for your DTF print shop. Set each design’s size and quantity, then check the file before ordering.

Some artwork is below 300 PPI at its printed size. Use a smaller size or a better source image. Exporting at 300 PPI does not add missing detail.
Before uploading to your print shop
Wait for every upload to finish (100% or the shop’s completion message). Check the attached PNG filename and selected sheet size in the cart.
For one batch, print each distinct PNG once. If the shop takes one file per item, order quantity is 1 per PNG, not the number of designs inside it. Confirm the shop’s rules when uploading several files together. See the ordering examples →
A ZIP with transparent PNG sheets at 300 PPI, a readable order summary (TXT), and a technical manifest (JSON). Preview backgrounds, guides and selection boxes are excluded. No mirroring. Verify split sheets and color requirements with your printer.
Start with a PNG, or use our original sample artwork.
Artwork and layouts autosave in this browser. Wait for “Draft saved” before leaving. Clearing the job also clears its saved draft. Deleting only the saved draft leaves this workspace open and pauses autosave. Changes to sizes, quantities or sheet rules automatically reset manual placements.
A better handoff,
in three small steps.
A gang sheet puts several transfers on one file. Set the physical sizes first; arranging them comes next.
02
Build your batch.
Add quantities, enter your print shop’s roll width and spacing, then arrange. Adjust any copy by hand.
03
Check, download, confirm.
Review resolution, dimensions and counts. Unzip the download, read the order summary, and confirm the PNG dimensions with your shop before ordering.

PNG in. Transparent PNG out.No JPEG, SVG or vector PDF support in this beta. Transparent padding can be trimmed explicitly.
Source resolution stays honest.PPI uses the original source pixels and the chosen physical size. The output canvas is 300 PPI; it does not restore detail.
Your shop sets the specifications.Enter its margins and gaps. Ask about transparency, partial alpha, color space and split files. We do not create a white-ink layer.
Small batches, bounded exports.Maximum 24 × 24 in per sheet. Large sheets need memory; a desktop browser is recommended for exporting. Auto arrange compares shelf and free-rectangle layouts. It prioritizes total used length in trimmed mode and fewer sheets in fixed mode.
Beta: review your first job with your printer.
File geometry is checked by the tool. One supplier’s PNG upload and unpaid cart were checked; production printing has not been verified. Confirm your own shop’s requirements.
A few useful answers.
Is this a free gang sheet maker?
Yes. This local beta requires no account, adds no watermark, and exports a ZIP of PNG sheets and a separate job manifest.
What is the difference between DPI and PPI?
PPI describes image pixels per printed inch. DTF shops often call it DPI. The artwork checker reports effective PPI from source pixels; the exported PNG includes 300 PPI resolution metadata.
Does auto arrange find the cheapest layout?
It compares 21 shelf and free-rectangle candidates, including the previous algorithm, and selects a complete checked layout by total used length in trimmed mode. Fixed shop length prioritizes fewer sheets, then shorter used length. Rotation is optional. It preserves counts and minimum spacing, but does not guarantee the shortest possible sheet or calculate a print price. Manual moves recalculate used sheet lengths. Fixed exports keep the chosen shop length and block download if a copy crosses the sheet limit. Changing sizes, quantities or sheet rules rearranges the job and resets manual placements.
Can I upload the file to any print shop?
Confirm the shop’s usable width, margins, minimum gaps, PNG support, color requirements and whether it accepts separate sheets. This tool does not promise universal supplier compatibility.
Will you print or ship my transfers?
No. PrintCraft helps prepare artwork for a print shop you choose. It is not a transfer supplier.
