Simple guide

Tools and settings, explained in plain language.

This page is built for everyday crafters, moms running side hustles, and small business owners who want clear answers fast.

If you are not a designer, you are in the right place. Every tool below explains what it does, when to use it, and what each setting means.

Quick start checklist

  1. Upload your image in the app.
  2. Pick one tool, make a small change, and click Apply.
  3. Use Undo if something looks off.
  4. Move to the next tool only after you like the result.
  5. Download when your image is clean and print-ready.

Common setting words

Threshold

A cutoff point. Higher values usually keep less; lower values usually keep more.

Tolerance

How closely a color must match. Low = very exact, high = wider match range.

Gamma

Midtone brightness. It brightens or darkens the middle tones without moving pure black or white too much.

DPI

Print detail setting. Higher DPI can hold more detail, but files and processing get heavier.

LPI

Dot density in halftones. Lower LPI gives bigger dots; higher LPI gives smaller dots.
