A studio for
composed images.

Free Merch Maker is a free image tool built around one idea: a design is a process, not a file. You pick something that brings pixels in — a stock image, a gradient, a line of type — then stack steps that change it.

There are 28 of those steps, in six families. Some redraw the image out of repeated text or geometric primitives. Some adjust tone and colour. Some move it around. Two of them — Overlay and Join — take a whole second pipeline as an input, which is how a design gets more than one thing in it.

That branching is why the studio is a graph rather than a list. A nested pipeline is a lane of its own, feeding the step that consumes it, and you can render any stage on its own to see what the image looked like at that point.

Everything a design is made of fits in its URL. There are no accounts, nothing is stored, and a link to a design is the design — open it, edit it, render it again.

Putting it on things

The Shirtify step mocks a finished design onto a garment, which is where the name comes from. It is one output of a general engine rather than the point of it — the same pipeline makes posters, prints, cards and social artwork just as happily.
