The misprint every shop has eaten.
A JPG carries its background with it. On a dark shirt the white box prints, and a rough cutout leaves a pale ring the underbase makes worse.
Edges at 700%
Half-clear pixels at the edge are what print as a halo. Dropdtf clears them before you download, so the white underbase stays under the ink.
Shown: one real crop of the koi file on black, before the edge pass and after it. The shirts above are drawings.
Print specs, not guesswork.
Every file is set up for a DTF printer before it reaches you, so you print it instead of fixing it.

Works from your agent.
Dropdtf answers AI agents over an MCP endpoint on this site. Without a code an agent gets the same free watermarked preview a visitor does. A pack comes with a code, and with it the agent downloads print files.
claude mcp add --transport http dropdtf https://dropdtf.com/mcpQuestions, answered.
Is Dropdtf free?
Previews are free and need no account: five a day, watermarked. Downloading the PNG without the watermark uses one print file from a pack. Packs are paid once and do not expire: the Starter is 3 print files for $1 and the Shop pack is 50 for $10. There is no subscription to cancel.
What size are the files?
Every download is a transparent PNG up to 2048 pixels on its long side, about 6.8 inches at 300 DPI. That covers a left chest, a pocket or a small front print. The exact pixel size is shown with each preview. Larger files for a full front are not built yet.
Will it print with a white box or a halo?
No box: the PNG has no background at all, so nothing prints outside the art. Before you download, Dropdtf clears the half-clear pixels at the edge, the ones that show up as a pale ring once the white underbase goes down on a dark shirt. Check the preview on black before you pay.
Can I sell transfers and shirts made with these designs?
Yes. You can use and sell what you make, including as transfers and on finished garments. Checking that you hold the rights to what you upload or describe (a logo, a character, a name) is on you.
Can I upload my customer's logo?
Yes, in beta. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP and the box behind the art is removed; nothing is redrawn and nothing is enlarged, so a small logo stays small. It works on art with a clear outline. It fails today on white letter fills with no outline, on white rings, and on line art that is not closed. Upscaling a low-resolution logo to 300 DPI is not built yet.
Who runs Dropdtf?
The company named at the bottom of every page and on the legal pages. Payment is taken by Paddle on a secure checkout. For a refund, a missing download or anything else, write to the contact address on the Terms page.
