Frequently Asked Questions

My upload is taking a long time.

Large image files naturally require more time to upload.
Please avoid refreshing your browser while the upload is in progress.

Can I upload more than one image?

In the Order Customizer, only one image can be uploaded at a time. To upload multiple images at a time, you can do so in the Album section (under your account profile).
Here, you can organize your photos and albums as well as delete photos.

Can I replace my image after uploading?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you realize you have uploaded the wrong photo. Send an email, text, or chat regarding with your order number and the issue. Due to the automation and speed of production, there is no guarantee that we can change out an image after the order is placed.

Do I need to resize my image first?

Usually not.
Simply upload the highest-quality version of your image.
Our online ordering system will guide you through cropping and sizing during the ordering process.

Common Misconceptions

I need Photoshop before ordering.

No.
Most customers simply upload their original image directly from their camera or smartphone.

I need to convert my iPhone photos first.

No.
We accept HEIC files directly.

Larger file sizes always mean better prints.

Not necessarily.
Image quality depends on the original photograph—not simply the file size.

Our Recommendation

Whenever possible, upload the original, highest-quality version of your image.
Avoid images that have been repeatedly compressed through text messages, screenshots, or social media downloads.
Starting with the best available file gives us the greatest opportunity to produce an exceptional print.
If you're ever unsure whether your image is suitable for printing, we're always happy to review it before production.
