Frequently asked questions

What people usually want to know before signing up for Kittl.

Can I sell Kittl designs commercially?

Yes, Pro plan includes commercial use rights.

Does Kittl integrate with Printful?

Yes — one-click export to POD services.

Does it replace Figma or Adobe for pro designers?

No — pros still live in Figma or Adobe. These tools win on self-serve by non-designers and template-driven work.

Who owns the designs I create?

You own designs you create. Templates and stock media are licensed, usually with per-plan commercial-use rights.

Can I export native source files (PSD, SVG, Figma)?

SVG and PDF exports are standard. PSD and Figma source files are rare — expect to redesign if you move platforms.

Bottom line

Should you use Kittl?

A niche but excellent tool for merch and print design. For broader design, Canva or Adobe is better.
