How It Works

1. Upload your photo

Pick any JPEG up to 8 MB. Our uploader inspects the resolution against the size you've chosen - if the file is too small to print sharp at that size, it'll tell you before you check out. For best results, use the original photo from your camera roll, not a re-saved version from Messenger or WhatsApp (those compress heavily).

Files we work with best: full-resolution JPEGs from any phone in the last 5–6 years, professional photographer "print-ready" exports, scanned photos at 300+ DPI.

2. Preview your frame in 3D

Choose size and orientation, and our built-in 3D previewer renders a photorealistic version of your acrylic print - including the floating-mount shadow, the edge polish, and how the acrylic affects the colour of your photo. Drag to rotate; you'll see exactly what you're ordering.

The previewer also shows you the crop. If part of your photo would be trimmed to fit the size you've chosen, you can drag to reposition or pick a size with a closer aspect ratio.

3. Order & pay

Add to cart, apply any discount code, check out. We accept all major cards. Multiple sizes from the same photo can be added in one order, and the per-item shipping rate improves at 2–3 items and 4+.

4. We print with archival pigment inks

Your photo is printed at high resolution on archival paper using pigment inks rated against ozone fade for 75+ years indoors. Pigment inks (vs cheaper dye inks) hold colour and detail without shifting over time.

5. We face-mount to optical-grade acrylic

The printed paper is bonded directly to the back of a 1/4″ cast acrylic panel with optically clear adhesive. There's no air gap, no chance of dust ingress, and no second layer of material between your eye and the photo. This is the step that gives acrylic prints their characteristic depth and edge-lit clarity.

Cast acrylic - not extruded - is what we use. The difference matters: cast acrylic has uniform thickness, better light transmission (~92%), and edges that polish to a true glass-like finish.

6. We add the floating-mount hardware

Two standoff posts are pre-attached to the back of the panel. Each order includes the drywall anchors needed to hang it. The print floats about 1″ off the wall, which is what creates the signature shadow line.

7. We pack & ship

Each finished print is wrapped in protective film, fitted into a custom-cut foam insert, and boxed in a double-walled shipping carton with corner guards. Production takes 3–5 business days; shipping takes 3–7. Most orders arrive in 6–12 business days.

8. You hang it

Open the box, peel the protective film, find a wall. Mark two points with the included template, drive in the anchors, slide the print onto the standoffs. Total install time on standard drywall: about 10 minutes.

What we don't do (so you know)

• We don't subcontract to a print farm. Every order is produced in our facility.
• We don't substitute materials. What we describe here is what's in the box - no swapping to thinner acrylic or non-pigment inks to cut cost.
• We don't add watermarks, stamps, or branding to your print. The print is your photo. Nothing else.
• We don't sell or share your uploaded photos. They're stored long enough to print and ship, then deleted per our privacy policy.
