Lite needs one file: a transparent PNG of your label, cropped to its shape. Make it yourself in your browser right now, or send your file to our team and get it back by email within 2 business days. Both are free, with no order required.
Drop in your label file (PDF, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, PNG or JPG) and download the transparent PNG your Lite bottle shot needs.
Some files are too tangled for the tool, usually a layered Adobe Illustrator or PDF file with every version, the dieline and the varnish stacked on top of each other.
Send it to us, and one of our designers opens it, hides the layers that don't belong and cuts your label out by hand.
Upload your label file through the form above. We accept PDF, Adobe Illustrator (.ai file), EPS, PNG, JPG and most common design formats. Not sure which path fits? Try the Label Prep tool first. It tells you what it found the moment it opens your file.

Our team isolates your label artwork and removes the background. You get a high-resolution PNG cropped to the exact shape of your label, transparent outside the edges, with your label's paper color kept. The service is a cut out only. For foil or emboss accents, use the Label Prep tool.

Within 2 business days, you'll receive your prepared label file by email, ready to upload directly into your Outshinery Lite bottle shot order. No back and forth, no guesswork about file specs.

Preparing the file yourself in your own software?
Here's the rule.
Cut your label out along its edges and place it on a clear surface. The label stays exactly as it is (paper color and all). Only the area you cut away becomes transparent.
The label is cropped to its shape. The area outside the edges is transparent (checkerboard). The white paper is kept as-is because that's what your real label looks like.
Rectangular label cut to the edge? No blank space needed outside it.


There's no paper. The ink is printed directly onto the glass. Everything except the printed elements is transparent, so the glass shows through.


The white paper was deleted, making the whole label transparent. Now it looks like a silkscreen instead of a paper label. The text floats on glass.


The label file has a solid white rectangle behind it. This creates the "white box" effect on the bottle because the system can't tell where the label ends and the background begins.


Start with the Label Prep tool. It opens PDF, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, PNG and JPG files, and you download the PNG right away.
Use the service when your file has several versions, or the dieline and varnish stacked in layers, and the tool can't make sense of it.
The Label Prep tool opens PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, Photoshop, PDF and Adobe Illustrator (.ai file) labels. The service takes the same files plus EPS, or a flat export from your designer.
We’ll work from the best file you can provide and convert it into a clean, Lite-ready label image. This free prep service is available whether you’re about to start an Outshinery Lite order or you discovered partway through your submission that your label file isn’t ready.
A high-resolution PNG cropped to your label shape, with the area outside the edges transparent gives the very best results.

It ensures crisp edges and prevents the “white box” effect on your bottle image.
If your label is a simple rectangle or square, a high-quality JPG can work as it is, though a PNG applies more cleanly and is typically sharper. Any other shape, run the JPG through the Label Prep tool: it comes out as a PNG cut to your label’s shape, ready for Lite.
Whether you realized this requirement before starting your Lite submission or mid-way through, this free service is here to help.
With the Label Prep tool, right away: you download the PNG yourself. With the service, we email your Lite-ready PNG within 2 business days.
Once received, you can begin or resubmit your bottle shot request by clicking the "Start now" button on the Outshinery Lite website.
While we always strive to deliver the best results, some files may not be suitable for conversion. Examples of unworkable files include:
Low-resolution or blurry artwork
Phone photos of a physical label (we require the original digital artwork)
Adobe Illustrator files with missing linked images, which prevents them from opening correctly
If we are unable to convert the file you've sent, we will notify you and recommend the next steps. However, in most cases, we can successfully extract a high-quality, bottle-ready PNG for you.
No. To keep this service fast and free, we don’t alter layouts, fix colors, recreate art, or retouch design elements. In the Label Prep tool, you can erase a printed element or add finish accents yourself.
We simply extract your artwork cleanly and prepare the ideal label file format for Outshinery Lite.
Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Your label is never uploaded, and there is no account to create.
Upload the PNG when your Lite order asks for your label artwork. If you used the Label Prep tool, enter the placement numbers it gave you in the same step.
