Vector files for DTF and DTG, drawn by hand.
Send the logo you have — a small PNG, a JPG with a white box, a photo of an old shirt. A designer redraws it as clean vector art you can print sharp at any size, with no halos on dark garments.

DTF and DTG printers print from a transparent PNG at the exact print size, and most print problems start with the file: too small, soft edges, or a background baked in. VectorWiz redraws the logo by hand as clean vector art, so you can export a sharp PNG at a left chest, a full back or a sleeve without halos or muddy colors. Every order ships as AI, EPS, SVG and PDF, priced per job from $19 by complexity, with a 24-hour standard turnaround.
Art that prints sharp at any garment size.
DTF and DTG printers print from a raster file, but the raster you have is usually too small, too soft or full of background. A redrawn vector is the master you export every print file from.
- Source check
- A designer reads the logo at the size it will print — a left-chest crest, a full back or a sleeve — and decides which edges are the design and which are blur, compression or background.
- Redraw
- Every shape rebuilt by hand as closed vector paths with crisp edges, so nothing in the file is a half-transparent pixel waiting to print as a halo.
- Fine detail
- Hairlines, tiny type and thin gaps are checked against garment printing. Where a detail is too fine to survive a transfer or a knit, the designer tells you before thickening anything.
- Color
- One clean fill per color, with Pantone names when you give them, so the RIP gets the colors you mean instead of dozens of near-duplicates from soft edges.
- File formats
.ai,.eps,.svgand.pdfwith every order. From the vector you or your printer export a transparent PNG at the exact print size, as many times as you need.- Revisions
- Unlimited until the file is right. Ask in the order thread and the same designer picks it up.
Priced by what the logo asks of the designer.
Four complexity tiers. Upload the file and the estimator shows the tier and price before checkout; a designer confirms the tier.
Tier 1 · Simple
One- or two-color marks, wordmarks and simple icons — the typical left-chest logo from a readable file.
5 credits · $19Tier 2 · Medium
Flat multi-color logos and badges with standard type — team crests, brand marks and event logos.
15 credits · $57Tier 3 · High
Detailed apparel graphics: distressed badges, graffiti lettering, mascots with shading, six or more colors.
30 credits · $114Tier 4 · Complex
Full illustrations and multi-element back prints, or artwork rebuilt from a photo of an old shirt.
50 credits · $190Rush (12 hours) adds 50%; Flex (3 business days) takes 10% off. Shops on a monthly plan pay in credits instead of per job.
What the printer prints that you never drew.
A transfer or a DTG pass prints every pixel the file contains. These are the ones that ruin a run.
White halos on DTF
DTF lays white ink under every pixel that isn't fully clear. Soft, anti-aliased edges and leftover background become a pale outline around the design on a dark shirt.
Blurry at full-back size
A logo saved for a website is a few hundred pixels wide. Enlarged to a full back, every edge goes soft. Upscaling invents pixels; a redraw gives real edges at any size.
Muddy colors
Compression and soft edges turn a three-color mark into dozens of in-between shades. On DTG the RIP prints them all, and the logo looks dull next to the brand color.
Details that won't hold
Hairline strokes and tiny text can break up on a transfer or sink into a knit. They need to be found at artwork stage, not after a press run.
Backgrounds baked in
A JPG has no transparency, so a white or colored box comes along with the logo. A redrawn vector contains only the design's shapes; there are no background pixels in it at all.
When your file is already fine
A large, crisp PNG with a truly transparent background often prints well as it is. If yours prints clean, keep it; send us the ones that don't.

DTF and DTG artwork, answered.
Do DTF printers need a vector file?
Most DTF and DTG printers ask for a transparent PNG at the exact print size, usually at 300 dpi. The problem is the PNG most people have: a small website logo, a screenshot or a JPG with a white box around it. A hand-redrawn vector is the master you export that PNG from, sharp at a left chest or a full back, and you keep the vector for the next order.
Why does my DTF print have a white outline?
DTF prints white ink under every pixel that isn't fully transparent. Soft, anti-aliased edges and leftover background pixels get a white underbase too, and show as a pale halo on a dark garment. A redrawn file has crisp edges and no background at all, so the PNG you export from it prints clean.
What about DTG?
DTG also prints from a raster file, and the RIP builds the white underbase from it. The same rules apply: real edges at print size, true colors instead of compression shades, and nothing behind the design. Every order ships with AI, EPS, SVG and PDF, so your RIP or your printer gets a clean source to export from.
Can you prepare artwork for heat transfer vinyl or plastisol transfers?
Yes, but they need different files. Heat transfer vinyl is cut, so it needs closed cut paths, covered on the vinyl cutters page. Screen-printed plastisol transfers need spot-color separations, covered on the screen printing and halftone separation pages. Tell us the process in the order notes and the file is drawn for it.
Do you lay out gang sheets?
No. We redraw the artwork; arranging designs on a gang sheet stays with you or your transfer supplier. What we deliver drops straight into a gang-sheet builder, because each design is a clean, separate vector you can export at the size you need.
Can you fix a logo from a photo of an old shirt?
Yes. A photo of a printed shirt, a faded tee or a jacket patch is a common source. The designer redraws the design from it as new vector artwork. What we don't do is edit the photo itself: the result is the logo, drawn cleanly, not a retouched picture.
How much does it cost?
Per job, by complexity, across four tiers — $19 / $57 / $114 / $190. A one-color left-chest mark starts at $19; a detailed back print or a rebuild from a photo sits in the upper tiers. Upload the file and the price shows before checkout.
How fast will I get the file?
Standard is 24 hours. Rush is 12 hours for 50% more, and Flex is 3 business days for 10% less. Revisions are unlimited until the file is right.
