This plugin is designed for stores that sell personalized products (e.g., t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, posters).
Clip Mask (New in v1.0.1)
Starting from version 1.0.1, you can optionally upload a clipping mask image per product to limit where customers can place and preview their designs.
- Recommended format: PNG
- Transparent area = allowed design region
- Opaque area = hidden / restricted region
- The canvas preview and exported PNG respect the defined clipping boundaries
This helps ensure designs stay within printable areas and improves print accuracy.
Personalization Text (New in v1.1.2)
Let customers add custom text on the product using a personalization field in the customizer modal. Text appears as a live canvas text layer that customers can move, resize, rotate, and edit directly on the canvas.
- Enable personalization per product in the product editor.
- Optional label, placeholder, required flag, and character limit.
- Text color toolbar when the text layer is selected.
- Personalization text is saved to the cart and order, and shown in WooCommerce emails and admin orders.
- The exported design PNG includes the personalization text layer.
Third-party libraries

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
-
What is a clip mask?
-
A clip mask is a PNG image that defines where customers are allowed to design. Transparent areas allow design, while opaque areas hide content outside the printable region.
-
Does the clip mask affect the exported image?
-
Yes. The exported PNG is clipped to the defined mask, ensuring only the allowed area is included.
-
Where are uploaded/generated files stored?
-
Files are stored under the WordPress uploads directory. The plugin uses a dedicated subfolder for design assets.
-
Does this work with WooCommerce zoom/lightbox?
-
Yes. The plugin updates the product gallery image and attempts to refresh zoom overlays (including
.zoomImgused by some themes/plugins). -
Can customers add custom text to products?
-
Yes. When personalization is enabled for a product, customers can enter custom text in the customizer. The text appears as an editable layer on the canvas and is saved with the order.
-
Can I allow multiple uploaded layers?
-
Currently the customizer is intended for a single uploaded image layer. You can extend it to allow multiple layers if needed.
