    Canva works. The easiest way to use it is to create an image exactly 2x or 3x bigger than what you need so that it has more pixels when it is shrunk down to the size of the t shirt you want
    Or pay them their $10 a month and get the resize option. With the resize option, you can choose to have an image 2x or 3x the size of your original.

      Well, what about the colour profile? Does Canva convert designs to cmyk..?

    if you slide the download slider to either 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 you will get as much as 1100+ DPI for PNG. This can be used on many, many POD sites. The only A-hole that won't except is Merch by Amazon because their mock-up generator is so old, it has not the ability to resize and allow the image to be put on the T-shirt. Canva is one the best free or paid design apps out there and when paired with Placeit you have a winner. Inclosing you do more research before saying things as you did. Oh, and I'm not trying to dog you.

    there's a video on how to use Canva, then use a different site to resize your image so it's just right. Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to self teach myself how to design t-shirts without purchasing expensive software this was helpful. =)

    Or you can do custom dementions of 5000x5000px, make the design, then download as a png. Or make it as pdf., then convert file to png afterwards.

      Just finish your design on canva then upload it on krita , choose rescale image from the image toolbar - set the dimensions for 4500*5400 and the resolution to 300 and you are good to go

    This would be a decent video if you gave some alternatives. It is pretty irresponsible to make a video telling people not to use certain software and never revealing what you use instead. Especially, when you don't show any evidence and what you are saying is not a good enough reason to stop using Canva. You might need a workaround or two, but it is not as serious as you are making it seem.

      You're better have your own design software.. I suggest Affinity Suites and just make an artboard or templates to make your life easier using the software. Affinity is only a one-time fee.

    I just wasted four hours of my time to only have KDP reject my interior and cover for a print journal. Why would they have a template for books when they can't pass KDP? I guess I will try GIMP next. Is there anything out there that is easier? Thanks for the video!

      My understanding of this is that you can only use text and "free" elements. I'm pretty sure that the stock photos are off limits too.
