The New Black AI

Free AI Tech Pack Generator

A free AI tech pack generator is a tool that builds the document a factory needs to make your garment, and drafts it for you from photos or a sketch. Building the tech pack by hand is free: the sections, the canvas for the flat sketch, the size chart, the bill of materials and the PDF export cost nothing. The AI does the drafting when you ask it to: it reads photos of a garment and writes a first pack for one credit, plus one per sketch, and it reads a finished pack the way a factory would, for two credits.

How it works

1

Start the tech pack, four ways

Start new is a blank pack with the standard sections: header, description and construction, flat sketch, points of measure, bill of materials, notes. Start with AI reads photos of an existing garment and drafts the whole pack for you to correct. Import continues a tech pack you already have, for two credits. Templates reuse a shape you liked, so every style of a collection reads the same to the factory.

2

Draw the flat and place the measurements

Draw the flat sketch with the AI from a photo of the garment, or upload your own. Then place the measurement arrows on it: each arrow becomes a line of the size chart, with its code, its name, the value per size and the tolerance. The canvas carries lines, arrows, measurement bars, circles and rectangles for the standard callouts, plus garment icons for sewing, fabric, labels, hangers and care.

Fill the tables, read it back, export

Type or correct the bill of materials and the size chart, rename any label to match how your team works, and add sections of any kind where you need them: a second canvas, a colourway page, a bill of materials per colour. Then ask the AI to read the pack as a factory would; it lists the questions the factory would ask, before the factory asks them. Preview the whole document and export the PDF, the whole pack or a single page, in portrait or landscape.

What a tech pack made here contains

The same sections a factory expects, in the order it reads them: a header with the style name, code, season and designer; a description with the construction details; the flat sketch with lettered callouts; the points of measure with a size run and tolerances; the bill of materials with supplier, composition, colour and consumption per component; colourways; and the finishing and packing notes. Every label is renameable, and the AI fills by field, so renaming never breaks the auto fill. If you are not sure what goes where, the complete guide to tech packs walks through each section.

Free, and where the credits go

Building and exporting is free, with no watermark and nothing to install. Credits are spent only when the AI works for you: one credit to draft a pack from photos, one per flat sketch it draws, two to import an existing pack, two for the factory style review. A free account builds two tech packs by hand; every plan, from Starter, builds as many as you need. A new account opens with free credits, so the first AI draft costs nothing either.

Build your first tech pack

Start from a design you already have, or make one in the AI fashion design generator and send it over. If your starting point is a photo, image to flat sketch draws the flat first. Open the tech pack studio when you are ready, and read the comparison of AI tech pack generators if you are choosing a tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is the tech pack generator free to use?+

Yes. Building the tech pack by hand, adding sections, drawing on the canvas, filling the tables and exporting the PDF are free. Only the AI drafting and the AI review spend credits, and a new account comes with free credits for them.

Can the AI create a tech pack from a photo?+

Yes. Start with AI reads photos of the garment, front and back if you have them, and drafts the flat sketch, the construction description, a first bill of materials and a first set of measurements. The draft is meant to be corrected: you keep what is right and fix the rest.

How do I get my AI designs onto a tech pack?+

Creations made in the design studio come across in one click, and so do logos and moodboards. If your starting point is a garment photo rather than a drawing, turn it into a flat sketch first: that is the drawing the specification is annotated on.

Can I use it as a tech pack template?+

Yes. Save a pack you like as a template and start every new style from it, so the sections, the labels and the layout stay the same across a collection.

How do I hand the tech pack to my factory?+

Export the whole document to PDF in one click, or a single page. Everything on the canvas, from the flat sketch to the measurement arrows and the written specifications, goes into the file the factory works from.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. The tech pack studio runs in the browser, like the rest of The New Black AI. Your packs stay in your account, organised in projects, next to the designs and the product photos of the same garment.
