How to upload your own designs: 4×6 and 4×7

1. Prepare one sheet-sized PNG

For a 4×7 sticker workflow, StickerPix Print + Cut and PixCut S1 print nominal 4 × 7 in sheets at 300 DPI, so the sheet image you want is 1200 × 2100 px (1 in = 300 px). Our free 4×7 sticker sheet maker builds that file for you in the browser: add your images, pick a size, and download a transparent PNG with white borders. Starting from a photo? See photo to sticker.

For a 4×6 photo layout, choose 4×6 in the tool to get 1200 × 1800 px at 300 DPI. Keep the paper and ink specific to your machine. For StickerPix Print pre-cut sheets, use the template workflow below.

• Use transparent PNGs for shaped stickers, so the border and cut can follow the outline instead of a rectangle.
• Think in pixels: a 1 in sticker is 300 px, a 1.5 in sticker 450 px, a 2 in sticker 600 px. Artwork smaller than that will be enlarged and can look soft. See our sticker size guide for sheet yields and dimensions.
• Leave a margin. Liene publishes a 3.9 × 6.7 in printable area (Liene tech specs); Cricut does not publish one for StickerPix, so our tool assumes 0.15 in.

2a. Cricut Design Space (StickerPix Print + Cut)

Design Space accepts these upload formats (Cricut Help Center):

• Raster: JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, HEIC
• Vector: SVG, DXF (SVG files are limited to 5000 paths)
• PDF and TIFF: not supported — convert to PNG first.

1. Open Design Space and choose Upload, then select your PNG.
2. Add it to the canvas and check the size reads 4 in × 7 in. Whether Design Space resizes a 1200 × 2100 px upload automatically is unknown, so always check.
3. Send it to your StickerPix Print + Cut as usual.

Mobile tip: Kerri Crafts It reports that on the mobile app “You can only upload one image at a time” (Kerri Crafts It). Combining several designs into one sheet PNG with our tool first can save steps.

Untested: whether Design Space cuts each sticker on a combined transparent PNG separately, or only around the outer outline, is unknown. We have not been able to test this on a StickerPix yet. If you try it, a test print on one sheet is wise.

An internet connection is required (Cricut shop (US)) (Cricut doesn’t publish an account requirement on its StickerPix pages), and some content and features need a paid Cricut Access subscription (Cricut shop).

2b. Liene app (PixCut S1)

The Liene app accepts JPEG, PNG and HEIC (Liene tech specs). Liene recommends transparent PNGs because they are especially useful for its automatic outline cutting (Liene product page); the printer kiss-cuts around the design after laminating (Liene blog).

1. In our sheet maker, choose the “Liene PixCut S1” preset so stickers stay inside the 3.9 × 6.7 in printable area (Liene tech specs).
2. Download the PNG and open it in the Liene Photo app. The app runs on iOS and Android (Liene tech specs). Liene lists Windows 10+ and macOS 12+ desktop support on its product and app download pages (Liene product page; Liene app download).
3. Open the PNG in the Liene app and print on a 4 × 7 in sticker sheet.

StickerPix Print: use the matching pre-cut template

Select StickerPix Print in Design Space, start a sticker project, choose the shape matching your paper, then add your original images as fills (Cricut Help Center). Do not import a general full-sheet PNG expecting it to align with the pre-cut shapes. Exact cut-position coordinates are not established by our sources. See the pre-cut sizes and setup guide.

Canon SELPHY CP1500: 4×6 photo output

Use the 4×6 export for a postcard photo layout, with a matching Canon ink/paper set. Canon lists its label formats separately from postcard paper (Canon spec sheet; Canon manual). Check size and cropping in your printing workflow; the general sheet PNG is not a pre-cut label template.

Quick checklist

• For 4×6 output: 1200 × 1800 px. For pre-cut stickers, use the matching official template.
• Transparent PNG, 1200 × 2100 px for a full 4 × 7 in sheet at 300 DPI.
• Gaps of at least 0.125 in between stickers so white borders never touch.
• Nothing important within the safety margin.
