Clear Window Decals

Clear is indicated by the gray and white checkered area on our design tool. If you want any part of your sign to be clear, that background must be visible on your proof. When you select “Clear Window Decal” in our design tool the background will automatically switch to the gray and white checkered background to indicate that you are designing on a clear background. If you have uploaded a JPG file to the site with a white background, we will print the white of that background. If you want that to be clear instead, please upload a PNG with transparency. If you need help, please fill out our free design request form.

Yes, in addition to the clear window decals we also offer opaque window decals and perforated window decals. Additionally, we offer a static cling that uses static electricity to adhere to your window. A more detailed explanation of the differences and advantages/disadvantages of these decals can be found here: Window Signage Options.

Yes, your window decal can be cut to any shape you want. We typically don’t recommend cutting to any shape though because the clear part of the decal is extremely clear making it unnecessary in most cases to cut to shape. However, by selecting the Custom with Border shape option on the design tool (small border around the edge of the cut) you can customize window decals to any shape or size. Additional shape options to choose from for your clear window decal include Square/Rectangle, Rounded Corners (¼” or 1” radius), and Circle/Oval.

If you are looking for individually cut vinyl letters for your storefront or home windows, you are most likely looking for cut vinyl lettering which is a different product entirely.

The clear decal will be completely transparent wherever it is not printed. Thus, if the surface area of your decal is completely covered then you won’t see any clear portions of the decal. Though even a fully printed decal will still allow some light through. Vision will be obscured but not as opaque as an actual opaque decal. To achieve one-way visibility select our perforated window decals.

Yes, for inside placement and outside visibility you need to select “Inside Glass” as an option during the checkout process. We’ll reverse print your sign so that you can adhere it to the inside of the window but have customers or visitors easily see your sign as they approach your business or home. This is also possible with our clear window clings.

Our clear window decal does not stick well to fiberglass. We recommend using it on glass or a similar surface. If you're looking for a decal specifically for fiberglass, we recommend using our permanent decal.

Yes. Your clear decal has a frosted backing on it. The easiest way to remove this is to slightly bend the decal at a corner much like you would with a sticker. If this doesn’t work then a small piece of scotch tape can be used like is shown in this video.

Installation of your clear decal consists of two main steps. The first is to clean the window and allow the surface to dry before installing the decal.

The second step is the actual installation of the decal. To install your decal add a drop or two of mild detergent or dishwashing liquid to a spray bottle full of warm water. After removing the protective backing, spray the non-printed side of the decal as well as the window itself generously with the water-soap mixture. By getting the decal and window wet it will provide you with some wiggle room while installing the decal to the window. Do not at any time fully submerge the decal in water as this can ruin its ability to adhere to your window. Once the decal is placed on the window use a flat edge or squeegee and remove any of the excess water-soap mixture. Be careful not to use an edge or squeegee that will puncture or tear your decal. For this reason, we recommend a rubber or felt-tipped squeegee. Though this should not be a common issue due to the decals ease of installation and ability to be removed and repositioned.

Once the water is removed and the backing dries your decal will be applied to the window. These custom window decals are strong enough to stay in place inside or outside for an extended period yet easy to remove and reposition as needed.
