Photo Engraved Gifts For Best Results

Has it come time for a truly personalised gift to be given to a friend, loved one or family member?. Our photo-engraved gifts are the ideal gift.

To ensure the best quality for your new precious gift, we have a few tips on selecting the best photo.

Tip #1

Start with the correct file type. We can work with most file types, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF, AI and many more. The most crucial factor is always the file size. In most cases, a file of 2 to 7 MB will yield the best results. Photos that were taken on lower-quality phones often produce lower-quality results.

Tip #2

Black and White photos can produce a more amazing finish, but they aren’t a requirement. Feel free to send us a colour photo or a sepia photo. If a graphics proof is requested at checkout, our graphics team will notify you if the quality will not produce the desired result.

Tip #3

Steer Clear of mixed lighting photos where the photo is bright and sunny with darker parts. Pictures of this nature will result in a mixed quality of the engraving as well. These mixed-contrast photos can result in a poor-quality photo engraving.

Note: The quality of the photo is directly linked to the quality of the engraving. Please avoid pictures that are blurry, over- or underexposed.

Tip #4

Shaping is essential for the right photo to match your chosen piece; a family photo of 20 people in a landscape would look high-quality on our Army Dog Tags. The same photo would not suit a more petite heart-shaped pendant, but a picture of a baby could.

Tip #5

Remember, the photo will be resized, which may cause fine details to be lost. Our graphics team will try to keep as much detail as possible in your photo. In some cases, small fine information may not be noticeable once engraved.

We hope this helps with choosing the photo that will give your precious gift the best possible outcome. If you are still unsure after reading, we strongly suggest selecting the artwork proof option at checkout if you are unsure of choosing the correct photo.
