Choosing a suitable photograph is the first step in having the best experience possible with Easy123Art personalized photo products. The quality of your photo determines the final result of the painting, so it’s important to choose a suitable image to achieve a quality result. Here are some general guidelines:

• Choose a clear, crisp photo with contrast between subjects and background

• Close-up images, face only or head/shoulders work best

• Mini kits are best with photos of only 1 subject, face only

• Classic kits, choose close-up photos with 1 or 2 people

• Big Kits work well with images of many subjects and details

• Main subject(s) within your photograph should be 2/3 the size of the entire image

• No images that are overexposed with too much light, or not enough light or blurry.

Edit Requests may be requested in the ‘Notes’ space provided at checkout. Examples of reasonable edit requests are changing the background color or removing image details. For the most part, simple edit requests are permitted.

You can drag a photo into the image upload box or select 'browse' to search for a file. File size requirements are important to follow to prevent upload errors.

If your file is any other file type than one of the allowed types, you will need to resave the image as one of the allowed file types before uploading.

If you have followed the file requirements and cannot seem to successfully upload your image, the cause may be a slow internet connection speed, which may trigger a file upload timeout. If this is the case, you will need to seek a better internet connection or further reduce the file size.
