Using dynamic images in your template preview

Dynamic images can be added to the preview of your templates to enhance how your product is displayed, without affecting the print file.

They are used to create visual variations that help shoppers better understand what they’re buying.

When should you use dynamic images in the preview?

Use them when you want to:

• Show different product colors or materials

• Add props or decorative elements that don’t need to be printed

• Create mix-and-match setups (e.g., fabrics, accessories)

When to Use a Dynamic Image on your Preview

Use this feature when you want to:

• Show multiple product colors in one design

• Add props or decorative elements that don’t need to be printed

• Create mix-and-match setups (like bundles, or products with different fabrics or decorations)

• Adding a mask to:

  • Add shadows or folds to simulate how a design would look on real fabric

  • Adding texture or gloss to give the impression of specific materials (e.g. wood grain, metallic shine)

  • Hiding parts of the print area to match your product’s shape (like rounded edges)

How dynamic images work in the preview

• They are only visible in the preview

• They do not affect the print file

• They can have multiple options that shoppers can choose from

If you need an element to appear in the print file, it must be added in the print file setup, not the preview.
