My Super Daddy Heart Pillow Cover

You can upload any high-quality image that you’d like to have engraved in your crystal. That could be a favorite family photo or a picture of you and your spouse. It could also be a really great selfie or a picture of your dog. Everyone has unique memories that are special to them, and at ArtPix 3D, we totally get that.

So go ahead! Upload a photo of the llama you saw at the petting zoo, the cactus that poked you on your family vacation, or the treehouse you used to hang out in before it got struck by lightning. Maybe this picture is linked to a significant moment in your life, or maybe it’s part of an elaborate inside joke; either way, we’re happy to engrave it in a custom crystal keepsake that you can treasure forever.

Well, almost. You can send us a photo of any subject, but there are other factors that can affect your engraving. To get the best results for your 3D Crystal, you’ll need to upload a clear, high-resolution photo. You should avoid photos taken in poor lighting or from unusual angles (for example, a bird’s eye view.) The best images to upload are close-up portraits of the people, places, or pets you want to capture in 3D.

Selecting a photo is the most important part of your customization process. After all, your 3D image will be the focal point of your crystal! Our designers ensure that each photo looks its best before engraving, but certain types of photos can produce especially breathtaking 3D images.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best picture for your 3D engraving.

Portraits and half-body shots tend to yield the most impressive results. To get the neat “following” effect on the backside of your crystal, you should pick a photo with a clear view of the subjects. All faces should be looking into the camera.

Choose a photo that was taken in good lighting. Shadows can sometimes become empty space in a 3D engraving.

Try to avoid photos taken from a bird’s eye view or other unusual angles. These images can sometimes look strange as 3D engravings.

You’ll receive a warning message if you try to upload an image that doesn’t meet our minimum requirements. However, our system can’t detect every potential issue with an image. We do our best to screen each image we receive, but if you have any doubts about your photo, you should email it to us at info@artpix3d.com

When you upload your photo to our online template, we’ll show you a quick visual guide with examples of good and bad quality photos to help you determine if your image is usable. If the photo you provide doesn’t meet our minimum requirements, you’ll receive a warning message that will prompt you to choose a different picture.

As a final precaution, we double-check each image we receive for potential problem areas. We’ll contact you if we notice something that could negatively affect your engraving.

If you’re unsure about the quality of your image, let us take a look before you order! You can send us your photo at info@artpix3d.com or message us by clicking Chat in the lower right corner of your screen.

It’s easy! When you select a crystal in our shop, you’ll be able to upload a photo from your computer or mobile device onto a template by clicking Upload Photo.

Once your image is uploaded, you’ll drag it into the position you want, then use the Rotate and Zoom tools to adjust its size and orientation on the template. When you’re finished, select Done to continue customizing your item.

Before proceeding to checkout, always make sure that your image is positioned the way you’d like it to appear in your crystal. Double-check that your figures are centered and that no important features have been cropped out.
