Etsy and Moo Partnership

UPDATE: Etsy suggests that you upload images at 1000 pixels across. Moo pulls from the highest quality image. But if it the lowest 430 pixels across, then Moo says they will look ok, but this the smallest image you would want to use.

In case you didn't know, MOO is a printing company. They print beautiful products using images you upload directly to their site, and we are pleased to announce thet they are our new BFF.

Thanks to an ingenious combination of magic and science, Etsy sellers can now have minicards, stickers, and postcards printed DIRECTLY from the product images in their shops.

Here's how it works:

1. Go to http://moo.com/etsy

2. Select the Moo product you would like to make with your Etsy images (in the following example, we’ll select moo MiniCards).

2. You will be prompted to log into your Etsy account.

3. Once logged in, drag the images you wish to make into cards from the scrollable picture bar into the large white box underneath. You have the option to add all photos, add 10 random photos, or clear all of the photos from the screen by clicking the blue text above the white box. You can drag images to the left sidebar if you wish to remove them from being designed, we all make mistakes.

4. The next screen allows you to control the part of the image displayed on the card. You can crop, zoom, change positions, preview, reset, and even remove a photo if you don’t like the way it looks. When you have the desired look for your images, click next step.

5. The next screen allows you to design the back of your moo cards. You can leave them blank, add a logo, and write up to

6 lines of text with the option to bold or color. For creative ways to use text on your cards, check out the article we wrote specifically for uses of moo products!

6. The next screen adds your designed product to your cart and allows you to make more products if you like.

7. Click “go to payment”, review the items in your cart, edit them if you like, and check out with either Paypal or your credit card!
