Storage

No AI. No storage. No exceptions.

Octosmith never runs AI on your artwork, and we never use it for AI generation or training. Every piece you upload is formatted by Octo’s muscles (which are made up of deterministic algorithms!)

We don’t keep your files, either. Your art is processed on demand and returned to you, then deleted. We never store, share, or sell what you make. It comes in, it goes out, and that’s it!

Pay as you go, no subscriptions. Every credit unlocks the full toolset and each export is a one-time cost you can reuse forever to make as many prints or keychains as you want. Previews are always free, failed exports are auto-refunded, and credits never expire.

Frequently asked questions

How to use

Sign up for a free account, upload your artwork, and pick a workflow: Prints, Keychains, or the PDF Compiler. The tool handles the rest.

It depends on the workflow. Prints and Keychains accept PNG and JPEG. The PDF Compiler also accepts TIFF and single-page PDF. Upload at the highest resolution you have for the best results.

Yes. Every workflow includes a live canvas preview so you can see exactly how your file will look before exporting.

Capabilities

It prepares your image for printing: crop and resize to your exact print size, add bleed, scale the DPI, convert to CMYK, and export a print-ready PDF or high-resolution image (PNG, JPEG, or TIFF).

It turns your art into a print-ready acrylic keychain file: it traces the cut shape (a custom silhouette from a transparent PNG, or a rectangle), adds your outline and hole, and builds the white, gloss, and cut layers. It can also auto-extend your artwork into a full bleed so color runs cleanly to the cut line, use separate back artwork, and export a layered PSD.

It combines several finished artworks into one print-ready PDF, repeating each piece on as many pages as you need, so you can hand your printer a single document and order copies of the whole thing.

About

Independent artists and small shop owners who sell prints, keychains, and merch at conventions or online, and want print- and manufacturing-ready files without doing the technical prep by hand.

Uploads are processed and then cleaned up. We do not retain your artwork after your session ends.

About

Artist dagneo and developer Ian started working on Octosmith in the summer of 2025, after dagneo complained one too many times about how long file formatting took and asked if there was a way to build a simple tool to help her save time… so she can get back to actually making art!
