TL;DR

Scaylr's free tools page has 17 tools for Etsy and print-on-demand sellers, grouped into five jobs: mockups, preparing a design, resizing and converting, print sizing, and video. All of them run in the browser, all of them are free, and none of them upload your files anywhere. This is the full list, what each one actually does, and the order most sellers use them in.

Most Etsy and print-on-demand sellers end up with a scattered toolkit: a mockup generator here, a compressor there, a separate site for DPI questions, another for background removal. Scaylr built its own version of each of these because they kept coming up as the same handful of steps between "finished design" and "live listing" — so they all live in one place, free, with nothing to sign up for just to try them.

Why Browser-Based Tools

Most of the tools below (everything except the mockup studio itself) run entirely on your device using your browser's own image and video processing — nothing is sent to a server to be resized, compressed or cut. That's not just a privacy note: it's also why they have no usage limits, no sign-up wall, and no queue. A server-side tool has to ration free usage because every image it processes costs the company running it money; a browser-side tool doesn't, so there's nothing to ration.

The trade-off is that heavier jobs — an AI upscale, an 8-second video render — depend on the power of the device running them rather than a data-centre GPU. On a recent laptop or desktop that's rarely noticeable; on an older phone, it can take longer. See the note on that under each relevant tool.

Mockups

The main event — putting your design on a real-looking product.

ToolWhat it does
Photo MockupsPut your design on 130+ realistic mugs, shirts, posters, totes and more. Batch every design across every template at once.
Video MockupsTurn a design into a short product video — the scene's own light and shadows move across it. See our guide to making an Etsy listing video this way.

Prepare Your Design

Get the file right before it goes anywhere near a product.

ToolWhat it does
Is My Design Ready?Checks pixels, DPI and transparency against Printify, Printful and Gelato's actual requirements before you upload.
Background RemoverCuts designs and logos out of their background in one click, and lets you preview the cutout on a shirt colour before downloading. Full guide: removing a background for print-on-demand.
Image UpscalerEnlarges a small design 2×, 4× or straight to print size (up to 12,000 px) with AI so it prints sharp instead of blurry. Full guide: upscaling to 300 DPI free.
Watermark ImagesStamps your shop name or logo on preview images before you share them anywhere — a whole folder at once.
Color Palette ExtractorPulls the exact HEX colours out of any design, to match shirts, backgrounds and shop banners.

Resize & Convert

Listing photos at the right size, shape and file weight.

ToolWhat it does
Etsy Image ResizerBatch-resizes listing photos to Etsy's 2000 px sizes, plus Shopify and Pinterest dimensions. See our Etsy image size guide for exact specs.
Image CompressorShrinks JPG, PNG and WEBP files so listings load fast, without a visible quality hit.
Image ConverterConverts between PNG, JPG and WEBP, and turns SVG files into print-size PNGs.
Crop & RotateCrops to Etsy, Shopify and Instagram shapes, rotates and flips — one photo, or a whole batch.

Print

Make sure a design prints as sharp as it looks on screen.

ToolWhat it does
Poster Print ResizerFits a PDF, PNG or JPG to any poster size and exports a print-ready file, cropped or stretched to fit.
DPI CalculatorConverts pixels to inches or cm at any DPI, and tells you the biggest size your file can print sharp.

Video

Short product clips for Etsy, Reels and TikTok.

ToolWhat it does
Video to GIFTurns a product clip into a looping GIF for listings, emails and social.
Video CompressorGets a product video under Etsy's 100 MB limit without it looking worse.
Resize VideoCrops a video to square, vertical or landscape for Etsy, Reels or TikTok.
Video SpeedSpeeds up or slows down a clip for a snappier (or more cinematic) listing video.

A Sensible Order to Use Them In

With 17 tools on one page, it helps to know the order sellers actually move through them, design to live listing:

1

Check and prep the design

Run Is My Design Ready? first — it flags a too-small file or a missing transparent background before you waste time on the next steps. Then remove a background or upscale if either check came back short.

2

Make the mockups

Photo mockups for the bulk of your listing photos, a video mockup for the one or two video slots Etsy gives each listing.

3

Resize for the platform

Etsy Image Resizer (or Crop & Rotate, if you need a specific shape) to hit exact listing dimensions, then Image Compressor if any file is heavier than it needs to be.

4

Finish the video, if you made one

Video Compressor to clear Etsy's 100 MB cap, Video to GIF if you also want a looping preview for social or email.

Pro tip

Bookmark the tools page itself rather than individual tool pages — it has a filter bar (Mockups, Prepare designs, Resize & convert, Print, Video) and a search box, so finding the right tool later takes one click instead of a scroll.

Are These Tools Really Free?

Yes, with two nuances worth being upfront about. The mockup tools (photo and video) are free to try with limits — video mockups carry a watermark on the free tier — and unlock further on a paid plan; that's the core product. The background remover is free too, but you sign in with a free account to download the result. Every other tool on this list (upscaler, resizer, compressor, converter, cropper, watermarker, colour extractor, DPI calculator, poster resizer, and all four video tools) is free with no limits and no watermark, because they run entirely in your browser rather than on a server that costs money per use.

Our Verdict

If you're currently bouncing between four or five different sites to compress an image, check a print size, and remove a background, it's worth trying the consolidated version first — same jobs, one tab, nothing uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these tools upload my files anywhere?
No. Every tool on this list processes files directly in your browser using your device's own processing power, not a server. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly choose to send a finished mockup or design into the Scaylr studio afterward.
Do the free tools work on a phone?
Most of them do, since they're standard browser pages. Processing-heavy tools like the AI image upscaler run noticeably slower on a phone than a laptop or desktop with a graphics chip — for large upscales, a computer is faster.
Which tool should I use first before listing on Etsy?
Start with Is My Design Ready? to catch sizing or transparency problems early, then make your mockups, then resize the final images to Etsy's exact dimensions with the Etsy Image Resizer. See the full order in the section above.
Is there a limit on how many times I can use the free tools?
The mockup tools (photo and video) have limits on the free tier (and video mockups are watermarked), since they're the core paid product. The rest — background removal, upscaling, resizing, compressing, converting, cropping, watermarking, colour extraction, DPI calculation and all four video tools — have no usage limit; the background remover only asks for a free account at the download step.
