I design images on my Power Point on my Laptop and then upload to my Zazzle product. I find that on Power Point, one can copy, paste, move around, add backgrounds (though I use the Zazzle backgrounds too), add text (though I use the Zazzle text tool too), use more filters such as color, artist filters, correction image, borders, etc. I save my final image or images on JPEG, then I upload to the incredible design page on Zazzle. I can arrange all my predesigned images etc. and voila, all done! I can "fill" an image on my product and use it for a background and then upload more to add and arrange. Zazzle makes this so easy to do and then of course, one has the extra Zazzle tools such as: filters, white only, sizing, backgrounds (remember: if you use the solid backgrounds offered you can sell your product; however, if use the beautiful other choices, you cannot sell, cause not your orginal, I think.)  Thank you for reading. I love ZAZZLE. I don't sell hardly anything and I so admire the other designers who do. I thank Zazzle for keeping people like me. Of course, I still make so many things for families, friends, caregivers, and take requests from close friends  and family if they want anything done.  Stay safe, and keep creating cause it truly enhances everyday existing.   ...

I think it would be a really good idea for Zazzle to have a special person to be a liaison between designers and the printers, with a special messaging button or email address just for that. That would make it easier, when we order samples and see that something isn't right, to actually work with somebody knowledgeable about the designing and printing processes, to determine the problems and work toward a solution. Customer service is fine as far as they go, but we need a way to work more closely with the printers, to know if a design or colorway is feasible, and to ensure that the problems are fixed for all future orders, and not just for my replacements. This would probably save Zazzle a lot of money on returns and lost sales, as well. ... View more

I'd really appreciate it if we could download the designs that we create in the designer/creator design tool. It would be really helpful when creating personalized mock ups/cover photos since I don't have some of the design tool fonts.  It would also be helpful for cover photos of products where I've used the design tool tiling.  Since download is available in the Create tool which is free to everyone, it seems strange that the ability to download our own designs isn't available to us in our design tool. I clearly don't know the ins and outs of it, but since the Create design tool appears to be the same, it seems like it would be an easy feature to add to our design tool. Wishful thinking I know, but my fingers are crossed! Thanks for considering it, it sure would make Zazzle life easier. ... View more

Hey Zazzle Team, I know it's a big ask, but I wondered if you might try working with Pinterest to get them to allow Zazzle stores to have a business account? Pinterest stats show a 70% higher rate of sale when pinners tag their products in a lifestyle image. Currently Pinterest does not allow Zazzle stores to have a Pinterest business account. They do, though, allow Etsy stores, so however it needs to work with a merchandising platform that allows people to have stores on the platform, does work on Pinterest. I'd really not like to have to go to all the extra effort, expense, and time of creating a website that I then must maintain simply so I can tag photos. Hoping you'll consider this idea!

It would be super helpful if there were a few larger standard sizes offered for the square shaped foam core boards. Presently, the largest standard size is 24x24 inches, so customers often don't realize that they can choose a bigger size - up to 40x40 inches. I guess they don't understand the spinners, or don't see them, or just think that 24x24 is the biggest size. Soooo, frequently, they'll choose a vertical or horizontal shape, when what they really want is just a bigger size. Once they do that, it's a mess - especially for seating charts because, of course, the design does not adjust to the new aspect ratio. It would be so very helpful if there were a few bigger standard sizes offered so customers could easily get a larger size square board without messing up the design by accidentally changing the aspect ratio. I'm sure some folks will mess it up anyhow, but I think this would solve a lot of the problems. Thanks for considering it! ... View more

It would be really nice if we could have more standard size options for the glossy finish posters. As it is, there are mainly large sizes available. There aren't any other prints or posters available on Zazzle that offer smaller, standard size prints that come in this glossy style. Would very much like to see sizes such as 8 x 10 inch, 11 x 14 inch and 16 x 20 inch sizes available for this product. Would be perfect for portrait photos! https://www.zazzle.com/bright_red_tulips_floral_photographic_glossy_poster-256985243286773243 ... View more

I'm not a fan of the banner. It just looks a bit internet 1.0 to me. Could we please get rid of it and just have the collections cover image with the layer like this or something similar? Or at least give us the option to display the page something like this when there is no banner added. I'd love to know how other designers feel about it or what sort of layout they'd like to have.  ... View more

My suggestion would be to change the mug image on our product pages.  The mug appears to have a glare on the left side which distorts the clarity of the mug.  I don't feel that the product image represents the actual vividness of the mugs. ... View more

It would be nice to see square/rectangular pillar candles. These would offer more printing surface area than the conventional rounded pillar candles.

I am trying to create an eyecatching graphic to show off my teapot, but the teapot is white, and all  the in situ backgrounds are also white. It would be nice if the in situs could be expanded to show the teapot against one or two other colors of medium or dark hue. I did the best I could with this but it's still white on white. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGLShFOOpB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link   ... View more
