### Design Tools and File Set-Up

- **Design tools**: Prepare your artwork as a .png file using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or any similar design tool.
- **File specifications:**  
    - **Resolution**: 10px /cm
    - **Dimensions**:1488 px (width) x 1008 px (height)
    - **Details**: Ensure elements are at least 4px widh/high to ensure optimal visibility and safety of knit
    - **File size**: Max.4 MB
    - **File orientation:** Landscape
- **Upload:** Once your file is ready, upload it to Create™. The platform will automatically separate your artwork into editable layers that allow you to apply different colors and patterns.
- **Advanced option:** For full control, you can manually reduce the colors of your artwork (up to 12) and upload each layer separately. 
  
  Please see the details below, including an instructional video:

For best results make sure each color is solid (A) without any soft edges (B).

### Artwork Repeat

Our textiles are knitted on a fabric roll. If your textile is meant for production, make sure to have a repeatable design.

The Create™ canvas measures 1488px by 1008px. This will translate to a physical sample of approx. 140cm by 100cm. Your pattern or artwork will repeat every 1 meter (or 1008px).   
Learn More: [What is a Repeat?](https://help-center.byborre.com/knowledge/what-is-a-repeat?hsLang=en)

You can preview how your pattern repeats on the fabric roll by clicking **"Fabric Roll"** at the top of your sample canvas. The fine line shows you where your artwork ends. See an example below:

### Can I resize a PNG file in Create™?

Please prepare all PNG files to match the exact size of the Create™ canvas (1488px by 1008px). Use a design tool like Photoshop or Illustrator to scale and position your shapes beforehand.

### Troubleshooting

If you experience any problem with uploading your PNGs in Create™ please check the following:

1\. Make sure you are using the **Google Chrome** browser for best results.

2\. Check your internet connection and refresh the browser to make sure you are logged in to            Create™.

3\. Make sure that the size of PNG is not larger than **4MB.**

4\. If the upload is successful but your PNG isn't visible on the canvas, adjust the [Micro Pattern](https://help-center.byborre.com/knowledge/building-color-palettes/what-are-micro-patterns?hsLang=en) of      your layer (it must differ from the base or lower layer to be visible).
