You do not need design experience to create something professional with Inkse. The platform is built to help beginners turn ideas into retail ready apparel. Creators can begin with free tools such as Pinterest for moodboarding, Canva or the Adobe Suite for design creation, or use Inkse’s AI design feature to generate artwork directly inside the platform.

Start by gathering ideas on Pinterest. Create a moodboard that captures your colour palette, fonts, references and overall brand style. This visual foundation will make the design process easier and more consistent.
Once you have inspiration, use Canva for a simple drag and drop experience or the Adobe Creative Suite such as Illustrator or Photoshop for more control. These programs allow you to export files in high quality formats that work perfectly with Inkse’s upload system.
If you prefer not to design yourself, platforms such as Fiver or Upwork allow you to hire a freelancer who can convert your vision into a vector file.
If you prefer not to start from scratch, use Inkse’s built in AI design tool within the 3D design experience. You can generate original artwork by entering text prompts, making it easy to explore different concepts and visual directions.
When your design is ready, upload your finished file. The platform automatically checks resolution and placement to ensure it prints clearly on your chosen blank.
View your design directly on a blank using Inkse’s 3D tool. This helps you check colours, placement and proportions before you order your first sample.

Yes. Designs created in Canva or Adobe can be uploaded directly to the Inkse platform.
Use Pinterest to define your brand aesthetic before you begin designing.
Logos, slogans and minimal artwork often work best for first time products.
Even if you design externally, use AI to test new ideas or compositions quickly.
