A plain square slate plate printed in full colour with your photograph or lettering, in four square sizes. It is the largest plate we make and the only one with no orientation at all.

No Decision About Which Way Up

A rectangle commits to portrait or landscape and a contoured plate points one way. A square does neither: it hangs or stands the same whichever edge is at the bottom, which makes it the easy choice for a wall where other things will be moved around it later.

The Size Range Is the Widest Here

Four square sizes are made. That top size is the biggest piece of slate in the range and the heaviest single item we make, which wants a wall rather than a shelf and a proper fixing rather than adhesive.

Almost no photograph is square, so a quarter or so of the frame goes. On a portrait that is the top and bottom, which usually survives; on a landscape it is the sides, which usually does not. Check what you are losing before choosing this shape over the rectangle.

Sending the Picture

With nothing on the plate but the photograph, the file is carrying all of it. Send the original rather than a copy that has been through a chat, and expect the result to come out deeper and quieter than the same picture on paper, with the texture of the stone faintly visible through it. Lettering can be printed instead of a photograph, and on bare stone white text reads considerably better than pale colour.

The Stone and the Larger Sizes

Each plate is split rather than milled, so the edge is riven and no two are identical. The extra large is the biggest piece of slate we cut and the heaviest single item we make, which wants a wall fixing or a solid shelf rather than a narrow ledge. Smaller squares stand unaided and take an ordinary plate stand.

Almost no photograph is square, so a quarter or so of the frame goes: the top and bottom of a portrait, which usually survives, or the sides of a landscape, which often does not. Where that is a problem, the rectangle plate crops nothing at all.

Sublimation is the process, so the colour sits in the surface. For a faded original, Colour Enhancement is $1.99 per image.

Square Photo Slate FAQs

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.

Of course! You can add custom text to any size of our 3D Crystal Rectangle, Square, Heart, or Diamond.

After uploading your photo, select the text box labeled Custom Engraving to write your message. It should be 150 characters or less, including spaces.

You can review your message in your order summary once you add the item to your cart. You should always proofread your text before completing your purchase!

We’re not able to engrave text on any of our crystal necklaces, keychains, or wine stoppers because of their small size. We’re also unable to add text to our 3D Crystal Iceberg due to its unusual shape.

All our crystal items come in a custom black gift box with internal padding, which protects your crystal during shipment, and offers a great way to store your crystal securely when not on display.

Ordering a custom crystal online at ArtPix 3D is easy! You’ll start by selecting a crystal product from our shop. Next, you’ll upload your photo and adjust its position on a template of your crystal shape. Once you’re happy with your preview, you can customize your crystal by choosing your size and writing a note or caption to be engraved below your image. You can also select various add-ons to be included with your order, such as light bases, greeting cards, and a cleaning kit.

When you’re finished, double-check to make sure you’re satisfied with the customization options you selected. Next, check the box that reads “The personalization I entered is correct,” and select Add to Cart.

You’ll have another opportunity to confirm your personalization in your cart. Check your order summary to verify that the size, shape, and orientation (if applicable) of your crystals are correct. You should also proofread any text and make sure your selected add-ons are all present and accounted for. If you enabled ArtPix HD for your photo, your summary should confirm it.

Next, enter your payment and shipping details. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at this stage under Apply Coupon. You can also provide any custom instructions under Order Notes. Finally, select Place Order to finalize your purchase.
