DropStudio

Features

You made the design. DropStudio makes everything you need to put it out. Bring in a PNG, place it on the garment, and generate twelve launch pictures: the shop listing, the tease, the countdown, the announcement, the story, and the post that says it is gone. They save straight to your camera roll at full size. The print sits on the fabric rather than on top of it. Folds bend it, the weave shows through, and the shading is measured from a real photograph rather than guessed at. WHAT YOU GET Five garments: an oversized tee, a hoodie, a crewneck sweatshirt, and two tees that print front and back. Eight colours and five rooms to shoot in. Twelve campaign pictures for every design, sized for the shop, the feed and the story. Your name and your colour on every one of them. 4K export, for print. SIX LANGUAGES The app is in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish and Italian. So are the campaign pictures, and each pack can be printed in a different one from the app: run your shop in one language and sell in another. HOW IT IS PRICED Everything is free to make: every garment, every colour, every room, 4K and all twelve pictures, as often as you like — with a watermark. When a design is ready to go out, take it without the watermark. Unlock that one design, or every design for good. Each is a single payment. There is no subscription, and nothing renews. A design you unlock stays yours: export it again, change the garment, regenerate the pack, at no further cost. Nothing leaves your phone. No account, no sign-in, no upload.
