I only have a JPG. Will that work?

Yes, if it is sharp and large enough. The preview in the shop shows straight away whether the resolution is enough for the chosen size.

Do I need to prepare my logo for embroidery?

No. We do the digitising (converting the logo into an embroidery file) free of charge.

Can I test my logo before ordering?

Yes, upload it on the home page or on an item: you will see it embroidered or printed straight away.

Preparing your logo: file format, lines and resolution

Updated 5 November 2026

In short

Ideally, send us a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF). A PNG or JPG works too if it is large enough: for print, at least 200 dpi at the chosen size. For embroidery, lines should be at least 0.9 mm thick.

The right file formats

Vector (SVG, AI, EPS, PDF): can be enlarged at will and stays sharp – the best choice.
PNG with a transparent background: good for print if the resolution is high enough.
JPG: possible – the white background can be removed in the shop if you wish.

What the automatic logo check looks at

Check	Good	Critical
Line thickness (embroidery)	from 0.9 mm	below 0.55 mm
Resolution (print)	from 200 dpi	below 120 dpi
Gradients / photos	print	cannot be embroidered
Contrast with the fabric colour	clear	logo colour ≈ fabric colour

Typical problems and solutions

Fine lettering in the logo: choose a larger size or go for DTF print.
Dark logo on dark fabric: choose a light version of the logo or a lighter fabric colour.
Small image from the internet: better ask your designer for the original file.

Lines too fine for embroidery

✕ Avoid

Fine lines, small text: they get lost in the fabric

✓ Ideal

Bold lines, larger text: clean embroidery

Lines at least 0.9 mm thick at the embroidered size.
Leave out fine outlines and very small text – or choose a larger logo.
Fine details stay sharp in DTF print.

Image too small for a sharp print

✕ Avoid

Small image enlarged: blurry and jagged

✓ Ideal

Vector file or large image: sharp

Best of all: the original file as SVG, AI, EPS or PDF.
Otherwise a PNG or JPG at least 800 pixels wide for 10 cm (200 dpi).
No screenshots and no images taken from websites or social media.

Logo barely visible on this colour

✕ Avoid

Dark logo on dark fabric

✓ Ideal

Light version of the logo: easy to read

On dark fabric, choose a light version of the logo (white, for example).
On light fabric, a dark version.
No light version? We will adjust the colour – just say so in the note.

Gradients and too many colours for embroidery

✕ Avoid

Gradients, shadows, many colours

✓ Ideal

Solid colours, few shades: can be embroidered

Only solid colours can be embroidered: up to 4 at the normal price, 5 to 6 with a surcharge.
Gradients, shadows and photos: choose DTF print.
Ask your designer for a version of your logo in solid colours.

And if it still isn’t right?

We check every file before production. Before we start, you receive a proof by email – production only begins once you have approved it.
