About RasterNest
RasterNest is a free auto nesting tool built for DTF printing businesses worldwide. Whether you're running a small shop or a large production line, RasterNest helps you get the most out of every meter of film.
The Problem
If you've been doing DTF printing, you know the struggle: manually arranging designs in CorelDRAW or Photoshop, trying to fit them together, rotating and resizing by hand. It's slow, tedious, and almost always wastes film. That wasted film is money — and time you could spend on actual production.
Our Solution
Upload your designs. Set your paper width and quantities. Click one button. RasterNest calculates the most efficient layout in seconds — not minutes, not hours. Download the result and send it straight to your printer.
Key Features
- True-shape nesting — items pack based on their actual contour, not just bounding boxes. Irregular shapes fit together like puzzle pieces.
- Free rotation — in Optimal mode, items can rotate at 15-degree increments to find the tightest fit.
- Multiple formats — upload PNG, TIFF, PSD, or PDF. Export as PNG or PDF, ready for print.
- Email delivery — results are automatically sent to your email. Close the browser and come back later.
- Film cost estimation — see exactly how much film and money you save compared to manual layouts.
Free for Everyone
RasterNest is completely free. No paywalls, no hidden fees, no "upgrade to unlock" features. Every user gets the same tools: 10 nestings per day, up to 10 images per session, all features included.
Privacy First
We never store your designs. Uploaded files are deleted immediately after processing. Your work stays yours — always. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.
