WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

What image file types do you accept? What size is best?

We accept PNG and JPG files.

For the best possible personalized photo gift, you’ll want to send us a clear, high-resolution image of at least 2MB. This lets us create the best image inside the crystal as possible. You also want to make sure your exposure is balanced. If your picture has too much light or a flash on the figure, it will have the same brightness and limited detail in the crystal. If your photo is too dark, we won’t be able to pull the subject out and give you the detail you’re expecting.

Make sure your image fits the space well. If your subject is too far in the background of the photo, your image may not be as clear. If the photo is too cropped, important parts of the image will be missing. We also recommend not sending photos with filters or lens flares. These filters and bad lighting make the image harder to work with, and you’ll get less detail in your photo gift.

Will old photos work?

We know there are important images in your life that weren’t taken digitally. Vintage photos may have faded or been damaged and are harder for us to work with. Some of our customers have taken photos with their phones of their older images and it has worked well. If you’re looking to use a vintage photo in your order, feel free to ask us if it will come out nicely! We’re happy to help.

Can I use group images?

We know important events in your life may involve groups. You’ll want to choose the right piece for the amount of people in your image. A family of seven won’t fit well in some of our smaller pieces, and there is an additional charge for additional figures. Please check the product descriptions of the 3D gift before ordering.

What type of crystal do you use? Is it crystal all the way through?

Yes, we use only the highest quality, lead-free, optical crystal.

How do you get such fine detail?

Our lasers fracture approximately 1,000,000 dots in each square inch for the greatest detail possible.

How do you get the image inside the crystal?

Our specialized lasers and computer technology allow us to take any photo and recreate it in intricate detail. The lasers create small fractures inside the crystal that look like dots to the naked eye. These dots combine to form your image in incredible detail.

Are the bases included in the price?

Yes they are! We’ve picked the perfect base for your photo gift or memorial urn. The bright lights will make it look amazing. We also sell bases separately.

Is the base attached to the crystal?

Most of our products include a LED Lighted Base that is not attached, including all photo gifts, Legacy, Champion, Guardian, Honor, Dignity, and Scout Memorials.

The following Memorial Urns have bases that are not lighted and are attached: Tribute, Celebration, Companion, & Devotion.

How do the LED bases light up?

Each LED base comes with LED lights, a battery pack and a wall plug-in.

Do you offer a price guarantee?

Yes, we will match or beat our competitors’ price on the same type of items!
