From a customer's artwork to press-ready plates — no Photoshop. Watch the 60-second walkthrough, then follow the five steps. The same flow works in the free web app and the desktop app.
60-second walkthrough · art → AI prep → separate → review → export
Everything below is the exact flow shown in the video — and the same guided tour that pops up the first time you open the app. You can run it free in your browser; nothing to install.
Start with any customer file — a PNG, a JPG, even a PDF straight from Illustrator or CorelDRAW. Drop it onto the canvas or click Open. Messy files are fine; the AI cleans them next.
Do: drop in a designThe AI Advisor reads the artwork and recommends the whole setup — ink count, palette, white underbase, and garment color. Low-res or busy background? Fix it with one-click background removal and AI upscaling before you separate.
Do: run the Advisor, clean the fileChoose simulated-process for photos and gradients, or spot color for logos and flat vector art — the advisor already picked the right one for you — then click Separate. Seconds later, every plate is ready.
Do: click SeparateNow review your screens — a white underbase plus one plate per ink. Push or pull any single color with per-ink density, snap the palette to inks you actually stock, or touch up a plate by hand. This is where a good separation becomes a great one.
Do: inspect & fine-tuneExport press-ready film/EPS + PDF with registration marks, or drop it straight into your RIP's hot folder. That's art to screens, in under a minute.
Do: export the filmsThe free web tool and trial let you separate any file and see every plate at full quality — so you can judge the seps before you spend a cent. A one-time $179 license unlocks clean, un-watermarked production files: press-ready film, PDF, and registration marks. See pricing →
No. AI Separations is standalone — open your art, separate, export. It reads Illustrator/CorelDRAW art via PDF, but you never need an Adobe subscription.
Simulated process (halftone dots) for photos, gradients, and detailed art; spot color for logos and flat vector. The advisor recommends one automatically — see the full breakdown.
On dark garments, almost always. The app adds one automatically when it helps — here's why and when.
