For Artists
Artwork guide
Everything you need to know before uploading. Meet the specs once and your artwork is ready to appear on any product a buyer mixes it onto.
File requirements
Upload big, scale down later
Always upload the largest version of your artwork you have. Mixmi scales your art down onto different product zones cleanly, pixels average out and lines stay sharp. But scaling a small file up can’t invent detail that isn’t there; it turns blocky and blurry on print. Aim for at least A3 at 300 DPI (3508×4961 px) whenever you have it. A single high-res file works across every product in the catalog; a low-res one looks rough on anything bigger than a sticker.
Keep empty space to a minimum
Crop as close to your design as you can before exporting. Transparent padding around your art is trimmed automatically at upload, so the canvas size isn’t what counts: the artwork itself must be at least 1000×1000 px. A big canvas with a small drawing floating in the middle gets rejected once the padding is trimmed away. Less empty space also means your file’s pixels go into the art, not the air around it, so it prints sharper at the same file size.
How to export 300 DPI from your design app
- Photoshop: Image → Image Size → Resolution 300 pixels/inch → File → Export → PNG.
- Procreate: Create the canvas at 300 DPI from the start (Canvas Settings). Export as PNG.
- Illustrator / Figma: Export directly as SVG, vector art stays crisp at any size, no DPI to worry about. Or export PNG at 3× / 4× to reach ~300 DPI at print size.
- Verify: On macOS, right-click the PNG → Get Info → Image DPI. On Windows, Properties → Details.

Pricing your artwork
You set your own price per artwork, anywhere above the platform minimum of ₱100. The price you set is what a buyer sees when your art is the first one in their composition.
Mix & Save floor protection. When buyers combine multiple artworks onto one product, each artwork's price in the pool can drop as more art joins, but never below 50% of your set price. That's your guaranteed floor, and the platform fee below applies to it just as it does on a solo sale.
Platform fee. Mixmi takes 20-25% of the total art pool to cover platform costs. Payment processing fees (GCash/Maya/card) are absorbed by Mixmi. They are never added to the buyer's total and never deducted from your earnings.
Payouts. Earnings move to your available balance once the order has shipped and the buyer's payment has reached us. From there you can request a withdrawal anytime, for any amount your available balance covers. There's no minimum. Payouts go to a GCash or Maya e-wallet, and you request each withdrawal yourself. A flat ₱10 transfer fee applies per withdrawal, and BIR expanded withholding tax is withheld from the gross (10%, or 5% with an approved sworn declaration).
Approval & review
Auto-approved on upload. Files that pass the technical checks (format, DPI, dimensions) go live immediately. No waiting.
Community reporting. Any user can report an artwork they think violates the rules. 3 or more reports flag the artwork for admin review. Artworks found to violate our policies are removed and the vendor is notified.
Your copyright stays yours. Mixmi only gets a non-exclusive license to print and display your work. You can remove or unpublish your artwork at any time, full terms in our IP & Copyright Policy.
