What images work best for a custom phone case?
High-resolution PNG or JPG artwork works best. Avoid tiny screenshots, blurry photos, and text-heavy images that might become hard to read after printing.
Design a case layout with print constraints in mind
A phone case design needs more than a nice image. It has to fit the model outline, avoid important artwork being cut off, leave room around camera and edge areas, and include bleed so the printed result looks intentional after trimming or wrapping. The customizer is built for that practical workflow. Upload a photo, logo, pattern, or illustration, then position it against the case template and add text only where it will still be readable on a curved physical case.
Preview artwork before exporting
The live studio lets you arrange layers, resize artwork, adjust typography, and check a mockup before downloading. This helps creators, small shops, gift makers, and print-on-demand sellers test whether a design is centered, balanced, and clear. The export is intended for high-resolution print preparation, so the final image is more useful than a low-resolution screenshot. Designers can use the tool for one-off gifts, product mockups, social previews, or early storefront concept work.
Work directly in the browser
No design software installation is required for the basic workflow. The browser app focuses on the common steps people need when making a custom phone case: choosing a model format, adding visual assets, adding simple text, arranging layers, checking the preview, and exporting. For professional manufacturing, always compare the downloaded file with the printer or vendor template requirements, color guidance, and safe area instructions before sending it to production.
