teeinblue - How to upload and manage Layers in Artwork

Upload & manage Layers in Artwork

Upload File

  1. In order to upload in Artwork, open the Artwork editor by clicking Edit on an artwork or creating new artwork.
  2. Click on Upload Artwork button to start uploading images, or click on Add Text to write text.
  3. The layers will show up in Layers list on the left.


Additonally, you can upload a photoshop (PSD) file via the "Upload Artwork" button, or via the "New artwork from PSD" button on the Artwork page.

However, for personalizable layers, you should upload the layer images one by one, not through psd file, to maintain the image ratio. 
We do NOT recommend to upload the whole PSD file because:
  1. Photoshop will trim the empty space of a layer by default, making its shape and ratio different.
    Example: a Dog layer in Square shape, with empty space around, will be trimmed to rectangle shape which fits the dog's shape. It creates a different ratio from the original layer, and leads to incorrect re-position of personalized cliparts (if other cliparts are in square shape).




  1. If a PSD file contains a text, teeinblue cannot recognize and will turn all text into normal layers, so you cannot customize or make the text personalizable. In this case, we recommend to add text to your artwork using the "Add text" button within Artwork editor.


Manage Layers

  1. To show or hide a layer, you can click on the "eye" icon





Hidden layer cannot be clickable or movable. Therefore, you can hide a layer if it overlays another layer that you want to edit.

  1. To delete a layer, hover on the layer and click on “x” button

  1. To replace a layer with another image, without setting the layer again, you can use the "Change default image" feature. The new image will replace the original layer and keep all the settings, including: size, position, personalize options, reposition...
