Your photo, made real.

A photo that glows when you hold it to the light.
It’s called a lithophane: a thin print that shows your picture when light shines through it.

Paint-Your-Own

You paint it

Your picture turned into a line drawing, cut to its own outline with the lines as grooves, and shipped with a paint kit to fill it in.

One picture, drawn and shaped

This season’s examples: photos, each turned into a line drawing by our drawing step. The last pictures are renders of the factory’s own models — the real cutter and the cookie its stamp presses — not photographs of printed pieces. The dog in the skeleton costume is an illustration, not a customer’s photo.

Questions, answered

What can I make from a photo?
Today you can make a lithophane (a thin panel that glows with your photo when light shines through it), a paint-your-own shape with the picture’s lines as grooves you paint in, or a cookie cutter in the shape of your picture. You design each one in your browser and it is printed in our workshop and shipped to you.
Which one should I pick?
The lithophane if you want it to glow in a window, by a lamp or on an LED base; the paint-your-own if you want something to paint. The cookie cutter if the picture belongs in the kitchen.
What shape can my photo panel be?
Whatever suits the picture. 14 outlines to cut it to: Rectangle, Circle, Oval, Heart, Star, Hexagon, Ornament, Tag, Paw, Pumpkin, Arch, Gothic, Horseshoe and Soft arch. You can also have the panel itself cut to your own letters or a number — a name, a year, an initial — with the photo inside them. Each one previews live before you order.
