We’ve made creating or adding a design to one of our products even easier.

Who needs a run-of-the-mill, off-the-shelf product when you can create something wholly unique for yourself or a loved one? We’ve made our ‘create your own’ experience more intuitive so you can better customize products we offer here in the Zazzle marketplace.

Creating a Zazzle product begins with adding an image and/or text to a product.

Adding Images using the Design tool

How to add images on desktop

1. Click the uploads tab on the left menu.

2. To add an image, you can either click on your desired source to upload the file or simply drag and drop the image directly onto the design canvas from your desktop.

3. You can position your image into place by dragging the corners, or you can use “Fit” or “Fill” (Recommended) options.

💾Make sure your work is saved for later! 

We suggest you sign into or create your Zazzle account before proceeding.

How to add images from your desktop to your "My Images" folder

Adding your designs/images to Zazzle is straightforward. Depending on whether you've used the platform before, your experience will look slightly different:

1. For New Users: Drag and Drop

If you have never uploaded an image to Zazzle before, your My Images area will be a clean slate.

• To Begin: Simply select the image files from your computer and drag and drop them directly into the large open area on the screen.
• Alternative: You can also click the "Upload Images" button to browse your desktop folders manually. 
  • Tip: Click and hold “Ctrl” to select multiple images from your local folder to upload at once!

2. For Returning Users: Managing Your Library

If you have uploaded images in the past, Zazzle keeps them organized for you.

• Finding Your Files: Log in to your account and navigate to the "My Images" section. All of your previous uploads will be populated under the "All Images" tab.
• Adding More: You can continue to add new designs to this gallery at any time using the upload button or by dragging new files into the window.

Quick Tips for Success

• File Types: Zazzle works best with high-resolution JPG, PNG, and PDF files.
• Transparency: Use PNG files if you want your design to have a transparent background (perfect for t-shirts and stickers!).
• Organization: As your library grows, use the "Folders" feature to group your designs by theme or product type.

How to add Free Zazzle Icons and Graphics
