Project Overview

PrintGenie was built for print-on-demand store owners who need designs fast without hiring a designer for every idea. Type a description, the AI produces the artwork, and the result is ready to attach to a WooCommerce product.

The Challenge

AI images are usually screen-grade only. Screen printing, DTF, and press work need high resolution, transparent backgrounds, and a consistent pipeline — not a raw download from a model.

Scope of Work

• Layered plugin architecture: REST controllers, services, provider adapters, image pipeline, and repositories
• An upscale and resolution pipeline that reaches true 300 DPI
• Automatic background removal with transparent file export
• WooCommerce product integration, compatible with existing product designer plugins
• Security hardening to WordPress standards

Key Features

• Text to print-ready artwork directly inside the WordPress dashboard
• 300 DPI output through an upscale pipeline, not a screen-sized image
• Automatic background removal for screen printing and DTF
• Bring-your-own API key — no third-party server in the critical path, no hidden subscription
• Prepared statements throughout, nonce and capability checks on every endpoint, encrypted API key storage
• Runs on PHP 7.4 to 8.3 with zero runtime dependencies and no external CDN

Technology

A pure PHP WordPress plugin with a layered architecture and no third-party runtime libraries, keeping it light and auditable.

Outcome

Store owners ship new designs in minutes, and because they use their own API keys, no third-party service can switch off their production pipeline.
