Sound familiar?
DTF prep shouldn't eat your day
- Soft shadows and glows print as a muddy white haze, and the powder sticks unevenly.
- You spend 10–30 minutes per design cleaning edges, knocking out colors, and fixing resolution.
- Gang sheets waste film because designs are lined up in rows by hand.
- Labels and order headers get typed by hand on every sheet.
FastPrep fixes each of these with one click, inside the Photoshop you already use.

Halftone
Soft shadows, glows, and fades become solid dots that print clean, with no white haze. Live preview, round / ellipse / line dots, any frequency and angle.
Color Knockout
Removes the shirt color everywhere (even inside letters) and keeps every other color 100% solid. One slider brings back dark details or removes more.
Upscale
Blurry customer art becomes sharp 300 ppi artwork with Adobe Generative Fill. Transparent art gets a clean white background. Uses your own Generative Credits.
Color Boost
Makes up for the halftone color fade: richer, brighter colors, previewed live before you apply.
Fast Arrange
Packs your designs onto a 22 in gang sheet in one click, rotating them when it saves space. In our test with 30 mixed designs it used about 15% less film than simple rows.
Order Label
Adds a 2 in header with your logo, pressing instructions, order ID, and customer name. The name is copied for you too.
One-click prep tools
300 DPI, 22×60 Sheet, Trim Edges, Remove Semi-Transparency, Spot Color white channel, and Red Check BG: each one click, each one Undo step.

Questions about FastPrep
Is it really free?
Yes. Every tool in FastPrep today is free to use, with no key and no time limit: Halftone, Color Knockout, Upscale, Color Boost, Fast Arrange, Order Label, and the one-click prep tools. Upscale uses your own Adobe Generative Credits.
Will it stay free?
The tools listed here stay free. We may add new features later, and some of those may be premium.
Why do you ask for my email?
So we know who is using FastPrep and what they need. We only send tips and offers if you tick the box, and we never sell your information.
How can I support FastPrep?
If FastPrep saves you time, you can buy me a coffee, in any amount. It's optional and doesn't unlock anything: FastPrep is free either way.
I bought FastPrep Pro. What happens now?
Thank you! Update to the newest version and every tool works without your key. If you bought within the last 14 days, you can still get a full refund: just contact us.
Do I need to be a Photoshop expert?
No. Open your artwork and click a button. Halftone shows a live preview, and every Fast Tool is one Undo step, so nothing is lost if you change your mind.
Which Photoshop versions does it work with?
Photoshop 2023 (version 24.2) or newer, on Windows and Mac. Upscale needs a recent Photoshop with Generative Fill.
Does it change my original artwork?
Halftone opens its result in a new document, so your original isn't changed. Upscale adds a new layer and may resize the document to 300 ppi. Fast Tool buttons edit the open document, each as one Undo step.
Is my artwork uploaded anywhere?
No. FastPrep works inside Photoshop on your computer. The one exception is Upscale, which sends the image to Adobe's Generative Fill when you click it.
Does it work offline?
Yes, except Upscale, which needs internet.
