Product Description
DTF Halftone Generator

DIY Halftone DTF App

DIY Halftone is a DTF halftone generator by Dimelo 2Live that converts artwork into DTF print-ready halftone files with a live shirt preview and exports a transparent PNG ready for production—without Photoshop.

Upload your artwork, dial in the halftone look, preview it instantly on a shirt, and export clean transparency. Built to address real DTF issues like muddy fades, halos, speckling, moiré, and inconsistent dot behavior.

✓ Live shirt preview ✓ Transparent PNG export ✓ DTF-focused controls

How DIY Halftone works

  1. Upload artwork (common image formats supported).
  2. Select a DTF preset (Black / White / Custom).
  3. Set output size (DPI + inches) or use Match to Artwork (Auto).
  4. Adjust LPI, dot type, dot growth, and screening angles.
  5. Preview in Original / Shirt / Alpha / Mask.
  6. Use Knockout + Hard Alpha Cutoff for clean transparency.
  7. Export a transparent PNG ready for DTF printing.

What this app helps you do

  • Generate DTF-ready halftones using a live preview workflow.
  • Set true output size for production accuracy (DPI + inches).
  • Control halftone screening (LPI, dot type, min/max dot, micro-dot behavior).
  • Reduce moiré with Multi-Angle screening when needed.
  • Clean edges and prevent halos with knockout and alpha controls designed for DTF.
