Tesla wrap file checker
Updated
Drop a wrap file and see in a second whether Tesla Paint Shop will take it. If something is off, one click fixes it and hands you a copy that passes. The check runs in your browser, so your design never leaves your device.
What the checker looks at
- File type. Reads the first bytes of the file, not its name, so a JPEG or WebP renamed to .png is caught. Paint Shop reads real PNGs only.
- Shape. Square for Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, or 4:3 landscape for the Cybertruck, the shapes of Tesla's templates.
- Dimensions. Each side between 512 and 1024 pixels, Tesla's allowed range.
- File size. Under 1 MB. Photo-heavy designs go over without warning.
- Filename. Letters, numbers, spaces, underscores and dashes only, 30 characters at most.
These are Tesla's own rules, the same ones in the Tesla Paint Shop guide.
What the fix does, and what it will not do
- Renames the file using only the characters Tesla allows, 26 at most before the .png, so it fits Tesla's limit whether or not the ending counts.
- Converts a JPEG or WebP into a real PNG.
- Scales the image evenly into the 512 to 1024 pixel range, keeping its shape.
- Steps down to 768 and then 512 pixels when that is what it takes to get under 1 MB. A PNG is lossless, so fewer pixels is the only honest way to make it smaller.
It never stretches a design. An image that is neither square nor the Cybertruck's 4:3 landscape would land shifted on every panel, so the checker stops and points you to the studio, where you design on your car's Tesla wrap template from the start.
How to use it
Step 1
Drop your wrap file
Drag a PNG, JPEG or WebP onto the checker, or choose it from your phone or computer. It is read in your browser and never uploaded.
Step 2
Read the five checks
File type, shape, dimensions, file size and filename each pass or fail against Tesla's Paint Shop rules, with the reason spelled out.
Step 3
Fix it and download
One click renames, converts or evenly rescales the file, then hands you a copy that passes every check, ready for the Tesla app or a USB drive.
Then upload it in the Tesla app under Creations > Wrap > Upload, or copy it into a folder named Wraps on a USB drive, and apply it on the car in Toybox > Paint Shop > Wraps. If it still does not appear, the Tesla Paint Shop troubleshooting guide covers the car-side causes: software versions, the USB folder and the 10-wrap limit.
Wrap file questions
How do I check if my wrap PNG will work in Paint Shop?
Drop it into FrunkLab's free wrap file checker. It reads the file in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and checks that it is a real PNG, between 512x512 and 1024x1024 in a square or Cybertruck shape, under 1 MB, with a filename Tesla accepts. If something is off it can rename the file, convert it to PNG, or shrink it proportionally and hand you a fixed copy. It never stretches a design into a new shape.
What size should a Tesla wrap PNG be?
Tesla accepts PNGs from 512x512 to 1024x1024 and under 1MB, and the best results come from using your model's exact template size. That is 1024x1024 for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X, and 1024x768 for the Cybertruck, which uses a landscape template. FrunkLab exports at the right size for whichever vehicle you picked, so there is nothing to resize or compress.
What file does my Tesla need for a custom wrap?
A PNG under 1MB, sized to your model's template (1024x1024 for most Teslas, 1024x768 for Cybertruck). FrunkLab exports exactly this format, so there's nothing to convert or resize. Deliver it either through the Tesla app (Creations > Wrap > Upload) or in a folder named Wraps at the root of an exFAT or FAT32 USB drive.
Why isn't my wrap showing up in Paint Shop?
Five things cause almost every failure. The car is below software 2026.26 or the app is below 4.59.1, so there is no Wrap tab. The file is not a PNG, is over 1MB, or is not between 512x512 and 1024x1024. The filename uses characters other than letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and dashes, or runs past 30 characters. On USB, the folder is not named Wraps at the root of the drive, or the drive is NTFS, which Tesla does not read. Or you already have 10 wraps stored on that source and need to delete one first.
