Uploading your art on Redbubble<\/strong><\/a> is a fantastic way to earn a side income, and if run properly, you could turn it into one of your main sources of revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Redbubble is one of the major Print-on-demand platforms, enabling artists, designers, and Merch sellers in general to earn money by uploading their artwork onto a variety of products, publishing them on Redbubble\u2019s marketplace, and earning royalties per each sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into creating original artwork using <\/span>PSD templates<\/span><\/a> or even online design tools, in this article we\u2019ll show you <\/span>how to upload your designs on Redbubble<\/b> so you make sure you\u2019re making all the right decisions and making the most out of your store.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to upload artwork to Redbubble<\/b><\/h2>\n

Uploading a design to Redbubble is easy, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/b> Click on your Profile avatar and then on the red button that says \u2018Add New Work\u2018<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Add<\/b><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/b> On the \u2018Add new work\u2019 page, click on the \u2018Upload new work\u2019 button. You could use the \u2018Copy an existing work\u2019 option, but we\u2019ll stick to a new design this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Upload<\/b><\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/b> Complete the Title, Tags, and Description fields for all the languages you\u2019re planning to publish your product. Featured languages are English, German, French, and Spanish. According to Redbubble\u2019s best practices, a minimum of 15 descriptive tags are recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Description<\/b><\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/b> Select a background color that will be the base color for all your products, except for stickers and a couple of shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/b> As soon as you upload your artwork it\u2019s added to all of Redbubble\u2019s product range and enabled as products to sell. Here you must disable which products you won\u2019t be selling, as your design may be adequate for t-shirts, but perhaps not for water bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Redbubble<\/b><\/p>\n

Step 6:<\/b> When you finally have your desired products enabled, edit the default color of the product, the placement, and the size of your artwork to best fit your product by <\/span>clicking on the Edit button<\/b>. Different products may have different artwork placement options, so be mindful of that. Remember to hit \u2018Apply changes\u2019 when you\u2019re done!<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 7:<\/b> Complete the upload process by stating if your artwork is for mature audiences (hopefully not) and if you have the rights to sell products with your artwork (hopefully you do).<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 8:<\/b> Click on \u2018Save work\u2019, and you\u2019re done!<\/span><\/p>\n

About Kids clothes<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kids clothes are not automatically applied when you upload your artwork, which is important to note as many sellers are into funny but adult themes like drinking and partying.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your piece is suited for kids, follow these steps to enable kids clothes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the uploader, enable Standard Print Clothing<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click the \u2018Edit\u2019 button<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Choose the Availability tab and mark the Kids Clothing option<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Hit \u2018Apply changes\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Redbubble content best practices<\/b><\/h2>\n

    In order to ensure the quality of print on products, it’s important to learn about how you should create your artwork so it’s suitable.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Artwork dimensions<\/b><\/h2>\n

    High-resolution files make good prints, and by ‘high-res’, we mean the Resolution (measured in pixels), not the file size in bytes (or MB, megabytes).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Since Redbubble features many different products that widely vary between their sizes, it’s suggested that you create somewhat large-dimensioned artwork, with 7632×6480 pixels being the largest recommended (fit for king-size covers).<\/span><\/p>\n

    It’s also worth noting that images sized over 13,500×13,500 pixels, or above 300MB in file size are not accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For the specific resolution sizes for each product, head over to <\/span>Redbubble’s dimension requirement page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Artwork file type<\/b><\/h3>\n

    In the case of Redbubble, the accepted artwork file types are JPEG, PNG, and GIF. PDF and TIFF files are not allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Color profile<\/b><\/h3>\n

    When designing, there are two color profiles: sRGB and CMYK.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The first one works for viewing the design on digital media, i.e. screens, whereas the second is meant for printing, which means that you should focus on creating artwork using the CMYK color profile in order to elaborate artwork that\u2019s more faithful to the finished printed result.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Upload limit<\/b><\/h3>\n

    In its efforts to filter out bad designs, Redbubble imposes an upload limit of 60 designs per day<\/strong>, which extends across all of one user\u2019s accounts. We feel this is fair, and it pushes you to create your best designs ever.<\/span><\/p>\n
