The print-shop platform for DTF prep, clean alpha, and vectors.

How it works

From messy file to press-ready

Built for DTF shops that need clean transfers — not another photo editor. Clean alpha first when AI art ships with fake backgrounds, then prep for film.

1. 01

   Clean the alpha (when you need it)

   Strip baked checkerboards or photo backgrounds. Wand, color brush, and edge tools fix leftover white without destroying letter fills.

2. 02

   Knock out & smart-halftone for DTF

   Remove shirt-color backgrounds so fabric shows through. Smoke and glow get AM dots — solids stay solid.

3. 03

   Preview, vectorize, export

   Check the garment mockup, enhance with Almy Max if needed, vectorize logos, then download PNG or SVG ready for your press.

Why Almy

What makes the platform different

We solve the jobs shops actually fight with — fake transparency, muddy full-art screens, and letter-eating cutouts — in one workflow.

• Checkerboard-aware background remove

  Generic cutout AI eats holes in letters. Almy detects baked fake transparency, cleans it locally for free, and keeps photo AI for real scenes.

• Smart halftone — fades only

  Most tools screen the whole design. We detect smoke, glow, and soft gradients and screen only those zones so solids stay crisp.

• Color brush + edge control

  Paint to knockout only a chosen color (white scraps inside blue letters). Trim 1 px or define edges to clear fringe without eating ink.

• Shop workflow, not a photo lab

  Help-me guide, garment mockups, Almy Max enhance, VectorAlmy, and DTF export — built for print operators from upload to film.
