A layer for every element
Drag layers to change what sits in front. Group related elements and arrange photos, text, and artwork without rebuilding the layout.
Work with layers ↗Template Engine
Design it once.
Make it theirs.
Turn photos, names, and team details into personalized prints. Build the layout in Batch Relay, then carry it through your roster, packages, and supported print fulfillment.
Create your first templateThis is a marketing simulation. It uses synthetic athlete names and existing marketing photography, and it does not open or edit a customer template.
Customer answers, ready for the print
They enter it once.
Your template takes it from there.
Link a text layer to an athlete name, team, or jersey number. The answers parents enter in your storefront form fill those fields on the print, so you don't have to type them again.

The details are yours to change.
Move a name in front of a photo. Curve a team name around a button. Add the artwork that makes the design yours.
Text that fits the design
Choose fonts and weights, wrap text, or let the box grow with the words. For curved text, adjust the radius, arc span, and alignment.
Explore text tools ↗Bring your own artwork
Add PNG overlays, your studio logo, a watermark, or a filled shape. The floating insert bar keeps those tools beside the print.
Add your logo ↗Build the layout with image slots
Drag a portrait, landscape, or square slot into your print, then adjust its proportions to suit the layout. Each athlete’s photos fill those places.
Work with image slots ↗Select together. Space evenly.
Drag to select several text layers, then drag the gap between them to set equal spacing. Adjust the group without moving each element by hand.
Explore the canvas ↗Set the alignment. Style the text.
Choose left, center, or right alignment inside each text box. Switch names to uppercase, lowercase, or title case without changing the layout.
Explore text tools ↗Names with accents, printed correctly.
Accented names are supported in the Template Engine. Keep the ñ in Muñoz, the í in García, and every accent that belongs in a person's name, all the way to the print.
Work with text fields ↗Every print can be a template product.
A 5 × 7 print can stay a simple photo or become your own layout. Build a memory mate, magnet, or trading card with the same editor. Personalization is your choice.
