Upload your own badge image
Use your own artwork on an image badge by uploading a file from your computer or importing it from a direct image link.
Besides the built-in image library, Sami Product Labels lets you use your own artwork on an image badge. You can upload a file from your computer or import an image from a URL. Uploaded images are saved in your own image list, so you can reuse them on other badges later.

You can also click Edit with AI at the bottom of the panel to modify the selected image with the AI editor.
Finish the badge
Section titled “Finish the badge”After the image is applied:
- Set the badge size in the Size section — keep Lock aspect ratio ticked so the image is not stretched.
- Adjust Position, then set targeting on the Products and Display tabs.
- Choose Active or Draft, then click Save.
See Create an image badge for the full set of steps.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Something went wrong, please try again | The link is not a direct image link, the file is private, or the host blocks other sites from loading its images. Try another host, or download the file and use Upload image instead. |
| The badge looks blurry | Upload a larger image — around 512 × 512 px — instead of enlarging a small one. |
| The image has a white box around it | Use a PNG or SVG with a transparent background. |
| The file is rejected | Check that it is PNG, JPG, or SVG and smaller than 5 MB. |
