Uploading Images and Artwork to the Free Online design program.

Uploading images and text is easy.

First, get into TheOnlinePrinter's free Online Design system. You will get onto a page that is similar to the first picture below.

Click on the "Upload Artwork" button (the red arrow is pointing to it) if you wish to upload artwork or images.

 

Your PC screen will have a pop-up window come up, and that window will prompt you to select the image that you want uploaded. Just click on the "Browse" button (see red arrow below).

 

You will then get yet another pop-up window requesting that you select the image that you want.

Select the file that you want, and the file will become highlighted

For example:

• The picture above has a red arrow next to the file that I want to upload.
• I click ONCE on that file, and that file becomes highlighted (see image below where the file is now shaded blue).

You then click on "Open" (see the blue "Open" button above), and you will be returned to the Image Upload pop-up window (see below).

Click ONCE on "Upload File" (see red arrow above), and the file will be uploaded. If you file is large, then this might take some time.

once the file is uploaded, you will return to the design online screen (see below).

To move the artwork around the page, place the mouse over thye green botton at the top left of the artwork or image (see red arrow above), 'grab' the button, and drag the artwork to where you want it placed. 'Let go' of the image when it is placed where you want it.

 

Size of Files that can be Uploaded

You can upload any size file that you want. However, if the file is too big, it might 'take forever' to upload.

 

Special Requirements

All files MUST be in CMYK. If your files are in RGB, then the colours will change when it is printed.

If you do not know what CMYK and RGB mean, then visit TheOnlinePrinter's RGB and CMYK Explained information page.

Alternately, we also have some specific pages for some specific design program software:

• Illustrator - How to convert the RGB colour mode to CMYK.
• Photoshop - How to convert the RGB colour mode to CMYK.

How do I remove unwanted text from a design?

Whether you alter a text box, and image box, or a shape bos, the way of changing them is all the same.

First, highlight the box that you to alter. In the below image, I want to move the Company name, so I place my mouse over the text, and click the mouse once. The text is then shaded.

  

Next, i move my mouse over the green button (see red arrow below), i then grab the green button with my mouse and drag the green button down (see green arrow).

 

When the box is in the correct position, I let go of the green button. Compare the above and below pictures, and you will see that I have moved the text box down the page.

 

If you want to change the angle of the box, then grab the yellow dot at the top of the box (see red arrow below), and 'turn' the box into the position that you want.

 

In the below screen shot i have altered the angle of the text box by about 20 or so degrees.

 

If you want to change the size of the box, then grab the brown dot with your mouse (see red arrow below), and alter the size of the box to the size that you desire.

 

In the below image I have reduced the width of the text box.

 

So, altering the text box and moving it around is very easy.
