Spreadshop Tools: GIMP

Does your design need some refining? Do you want to create simple text designs? Then opt for a free program that provides a long list of functions.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) allows you to

• Create and adapt text designs
• Create simple shapes
• Create freehand designs
• Remove unwanted background
