AI Sign Designer
AI sign designer and working with forms for custom designs
- AI Sign Designer GuideThe AI Sign Designer converts a customer image into a vector SVG outline for sign production. Customers upload a PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, SVG, or PDF. The AI makes a clean SVG file. Customers use this file immediately to configure and buy a sign. This is different from a custom design form submission. With AI Sign Designer, customers get a result that they can buy after processing. Processing can take a few minutes. Without it, or when credits run out and you have set a fallback form, customers send a request. You process this request manually later. Finding AI Sign Designer in the admin Open Customisers.

Forms
- Custom Design FormsA Custom Design Form is a contact form built into Sign Customiser. Use it to collect custom design requests that the app cannot generate automatically. The form appears in the customiser: On desktop, it opens from the Custom tab. This is the default tab name. You can rename it. On mobile, it appears as a link below the selections. Customers can upload files, write messages, and use dropdowns, checkboxes and multiple-choice fields. They do not leave the page while they fill in the form. After they submit, they stay on the page unless you choose Redirect to a page (see Step 4). To quote customiser designs, use Quote Mode instead. For more information, read Quote Mode.
- Add and Edit Custom Form Field OptionsThis guide shows how to add and edit the fields in a custom form. Every form must have a required Email field. New forms include this field.
