Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best free tool for designing custom pillows?
We recommend Adobe Express for custom pillow design. It offers thousands of templates, AI-powered design suggestions, professional typography through Adobe Fonts, and high-resolution exports ready for fabric printing — all available in a generous free tier.
How do I design a custom pillow for free?
The easiest way is with Adobe Express. Visit express.adobe.com, create a canvas at your pillow dimensions (18x18 inches is standard for throw pillows), choose a template or start from scratch, customize with your text and artwork, and export at 300 DPI for professional printing.
What pillow sizes should I design for?
Standard throw pillows are 18x18 inches — the most popular choice for sofas and beds. Lumbar pillows are 12x20 inches, perfect for accent seating. Euro shams are 26x26 inches for bed styling. Always add 0.5 inches bleed on each side for edge-to-edge designs.
Can I sell custom pillow designs I create?
Yes! Adobe Express allows commercial use of designs you create. You can sell custom pillows through print-on-demand services like Printful or Printify, or work with local manufacturers for larger orders.
What file format should I use for pillow printing?
Export as a high-resolution PNG at 300 DPI for the best print quality. PDF also works well for most print services. Adobe Express makes this simple with one-click export options optimized for print output.
