We spent years selling digital downloads, so we know exactly what the tools were missing.

We are a husband and wife team. Between us we have more than seven years in this business, and we have felt every rough edge the available tools left behind.

We have watched the work change. Early on we built each download by hand and edited it in Acrobat. Then online editors arrived and let buyers personalize a template themselves, which was a real step forward until we started hitting their limits.

Every option we tried did some things well and left real gaps. We got tired of working around software that almost did what we needed, so we built Printbird.

One of us comes from ecommerce merchandising and the other from software engineering. That mix is what this problem needed, and it shapes how Printbird works for the people selling on it.
