Generate the artwork and listing only — pause before upscale. Listing goes live with a watermarked preview. When a buyer commits, promote to Production for the full files. Saves credits on pieces that don't move.
Same as Design Ready but with the upscale chain run, 300 DPI embedded, and print files for 2:3 and 3:4 ratios. Use when you know the piece is going to sell — hero collections, seasonal launches, anything you'd promote.

Design Ready stops after the listing copy is generated — you get the artwork at preview resolution, 15 mockups, the listing, and the Drive folder. No upscale, no print files. Production runs the full upscale chain (6×, 300 DPI embedded) and ships print-ready 2:3 and 3:4 ratio files. Design Ready ~3 minutes; Production ~12 minutes. Different credit costs.
Yes — that's the whole point. List the poster cheaply with a watermarked preview, see if buyers commit. When the first sale lands, hit "Make Print-Ready" on the project page, the upscale runs, the print files are added to the Drive folder, and you fulfil the order. You only spend the upscale credits on pieces that prove they sell.
Yes. Production-mode files are 300 DPI at 7200 × 10800 (2:3) or 9000 × 12000 (3:4) — well above the resolution any major print-on-demand intake requires. Files open cleanly in Printful, Printify, Gelato, Gooten, and direct-to-print services like Catprint and Fine Art America.
Production mode ships 2:3 portrait (the most common poster ratio), 3:2 landscape, 3:4 portrait (closer to A-series), and 4:3 landscape. Design Ready mode generates at 2:3 or 3:4 — whichever you pick on the form — and the listing previews at that ratio.
Both. Many sellers offer the same poster as a $5 digital download AND a $25 fulfilled physical print via print-on-demand. The Production-mode files are sized for retail-grade printing all the way up to A1, so the same SKU can serve both buyer types without any rework.
