# Free Gang Sheet Maker

> A free, browser-based DTF gang sheet maker and layout optimizer. Upload transparent PNG designs, set quantities, and auto-pack them into a print-ready 300 DPI gang sheet that wastes the least film. No account, no fees, and files are never uploaded — everything runs locally in the browser.

## Key facts
- URL: https://freegangsheetmaker.com/
- Cost: 100% free — no account, no watermark, no limits
- Standard DTF roll width: 22 inches (also supports 13", 17", 24", and 30")
- Output: print-ready PNG tagged at 300 DPI; long sheets split into a ZIP
- Privacy: artwork is processed in the browser and never uploaded to a server
- Optimizer: smart shape nesting (default) packs designs into each other's transparent space, including 180 degree interlocking, to minimize wasted DTF film; a classic grid (rectangle) mode is available as a toggle, with optional rotation and transparent-border trim

## What it does
- Builds a DTF gang sheet by uploading transparent PNGs and setting per-design quantities
- Shows each design's print size in inches with a live effective-DPI quality rating: Ideal (300+), Good (280–299), Not recommended (below 280)
- Lets you resize designs in inches, choose roll width and gap, and auto-rotate/trim for the tightest layout
- Smart nesting tucks designs into each other's transparent gaps (for example, a copy rotated 180 degrees fills the concave gap another design leaves), so concave art uses far less film than rectangle packing
- Reports how much film is actually used so you can see the savings before printing
- Exports a 300 DPI print-ready file to send to any DTF printer

## Who it is for
Screen printers, DTF print shops, and small apparel businesses who want to gang many designs onto one transfer sheet to lower cost per print, without signing up for a specific print shop's builder.
