The BoardPusher Deck Generator currently accepts images in JPEG and PNG
formats. If you want to have transparent images, you have to use PNG. The best
way to get high quality decks is to design them in a program like Adobe
Illustrator or Fireworks, and then upload your design to the Deck Generator.
Full bleed for all decks is 9 x 33 inches at 150 DPI or above.

If none of this makes any sense to you, don't worry you can pretty much upload any image you want (as
long as it is JPEG or PNG format), and you can easily add text through the Deck
Generator.
Deck Templates. If you wish to upload full bleed designs, you can use the templates below to know exact size and truck placement for each deck shape. Minimum resolution allowed is 150 DPI, suggested resolution is 300 DPI. To download a template, right click on a link and select "Save Target As".
Don't put anything important right on the edge of the board in the Deck
Generator (e.g. If you want your name in small print on the very
bottom of the deck, it could get cut off if you don't leave some room on the
edge). The board size in the Deck Generator is approximate and the graphic can
shift slightly in printing.
If you want a graphic to print to the edge of the deck make sure to extend
it a bit over the edge in the Deck Generator to give it a bleed for printing
. Again, the board size in the Deck Generator is approximate and the graphic
can shift slightly in printing. If you upload a full bleed image to cover the
whole deck that is 9 x 33 Inches, the Deck Generator will
automatically give it the correct bleed.
Never enlarge a photo or other Jpeg graphic to be larger than it's original
size in your graphics program. This can cause the final graphic on
your deck to print out pixelated or blurry.
