Tips for the Perfect Photo Candle

Want to upload a picture? Our Custom Photo Candles are our most popular gift. Follow these tips for the best print result:

  • Brightness: Ensure the photo is well-lit. Dark photos can print a bit muddy on labels.
  • Faces: Close-ups of faces (human or pet) work best.
  • Format: We accept JPG and PNG directly from your phone.

We use high-quality, water-resistant labels that don't peel or fade.
