Key Points to Note for the Best Results
To ensure your personalized gift is everything you dreamed of, please review these important tips and requirements.
Photo Requirements for Best Results
- Upload High-Quality Images: Use photos in JPEG, JPG, or PNG format, with a maximum file size of 10MB and at least 96 DPI resolution. Well-lit photos taken in natural lighting yield the best results. Avoid blurry, pixelated, or heavily filtered images, as they may reduce the final print quality.
- Don’t Crop Your Photos: Send us the complete, uncropped image and let our AI and artists handle the optimal cropping. This gives us more flexibility to create the best composition for your specific product. Include full faces and avoid cutting off important features.
- Multiple Photos Guidelines: When using multiple photos, ensure all people are visible and well-lit. Our AI will help arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing layout, but starting with quality images is essential for beautiful results.
Text Personalization Guidelines
- Accuracy is Critical: Double-check all spellings, names, dates, and messages before submitting. We print exactly what you provide, so verify every detail carefully. Pay special attention to proper names, anniversary dates, and special messages.
- Formatting Recommendations: Use proper capitalization for names (John Smith, not JOHN SMITH). Be consistent with date formats throughout your design. Keep messages meaningful but concise shorter text often has more visual impact and readability.
- Character Limits: Different products have varying space limitations. Our system will guide you on the optimal text length for your chosen item. Remember that longer text becomes smaller, so prioritize your most important message.
Content Guidelines
- Appropriate Content Only: We cannot process orders containing inappropriate, offensive, or copyrighted material. Ensure you have the right to use all uploaded images. Content should be suitable for gift-giving and align with our values of creating meaningful, positive experiences.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Consider the recipient’s cultural background when choosing design elements and messages. Our team can provide guidance on culturally appropriate personalization choices if needed.
- Language Support: While English is our primary language, we can accommodate other languages and special characters. Contact our support team if you need assistance with international text or special symbols.
Design Selection Process
- Review All Options Carefully: Take time to review each option, considering how it will look in the recipient’s space and how it reflects your relationship with them.
- Consider the recipient: Think about their personal style, home decor, and preferences when selecting your final design. A gift that matches their taste will be more meaningful and likely to be displayed prominently.
- Preview Accuracy: The design preview shows exactly how your final product will look. Review all elements carefully – text placement, photo positioning, colors, and overall composition before approving.
Technical Specifications
- File Upload Requirements: Maximum file size is 10MB per image. Use RGB color mode for best results. Avoid heavily compressed images as they may lose quality during printing.
- Supported Formats: We accept JPEG, JPG, and PNG files only. Other formats may need conversion before upload.
- Quality Control Checklist: Before submitting, ensure all photos are properly oriented, all text is spelled correctly, names and dates are accurate, and you’ve reviewed the design preview thoroughly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Photo Issues: Don’t submit extremely dark, blurry, or low-resolution images. Avoid photos with busy backgrounds that compete with your subject. Don’t crop faces too tightly – give us the full image to work with.
- Text Errors: Watch for spelling mistakes, incorrect dates, and inconsistent formatting. Don’t exceed recommended character limits, and avoid using all capital letters unless specifically desired.
- Design Overload: Resist the urge to include too many photos or too much text. Clean, simple designs often have more impact than cluttered ones.
Final Preparation
- Double-Check Everything: Before finalizing your order, verify all personalization details, shipping information, and product specifications. Changes cannot be made once production begins.
- Keep Backup Files: Save copies of all photos and text you submit in case you need them for future orders or reference.
- Review Our Policies: Familiarize yourself with our production timeline, shipping policies, and return guidelines to set proper expectations.
Take your time, follow these guidelines, and let’s create something truly special together.
