A lasting way to remember someone
A favourite photo of a parent, grandparent or friend can become a quiet focus in a room. A white lithophane looks like a carving by day; with a light behind them, the photo appears in a soft glow, which many people find comforting in the evening.
Each print is made from your own photo, so their expression comes through. Take your time in the studio, and save your design to come back to when you're ready.
A gift for someone who is grieving
If someone close to you has lost a person they love, a print of a treasured photo is a thoughtful way to show you care. We can post it directly to them.
Choosing the photo
- Choose the photo that feels most like them. The preview shows how it will print.
- Crop in close so the face fills the frame.
- Scans of old prints work well. Brighten faded photos a little in the studio.
- For a group photo, crop to one or two faces for the clearest result.
Upload your photo to the studio to see exactly how it will look before you order.

Questions
- Can you print an old or scanned photo?
- Yes. Scanned prints and older photos usually work well. The studio shows exactly how yours will print before you order, and you can brighten, crop and zoom.
- Which product is best for a memorial?
- A white lithophane with the warm white LED stand is the most popular, as the photo appears in a soft glow. A sculpted relief suits anyone who would like something to hold.
- Can I send it straight to someone else?
- Yes. Enter their name and address at checkout.
- Does the lithophane come with a light?
- You can add our LED light stand at checkout, from £8. It holds the panel upright and lights it from behind with a warm white or colour-changing USB light, and it's printed in the colour you choose. Without the stand, a bright window or a lamp behind the panel works well too.
- How long does delivery take?
- We print every order in our Manchester workshop and post it within 5 working days. Tracked delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after that, and it's free on orders over £30.
