How It Works
A personalised poster starts with something that matters to you: a photo, a date, a place, a few words. Here is how it becomes an object you can hang on your wall, in three simple steps.
1. Choose a template
Browse our designs by occasion or by type: photo posters, star maps, map posters or birth posters. If you are looking for a present, our gift ideas are a good place to start. Each template is a starting point, designed to be made your own.
2. Personalise it with a live preview
Add your photo, your names, your dates, your place or your message, then choose the size, the paper and, if you like, a frame. The preview updates as you go, so you see exactly what will be printed. Take a moment to check it carefully: spelling, dates, cropping. Your poster is printed exactly as the preview shows, and you validate it before ordering.
3. We print and deliver
Your poster is printed on demand, one by one, in a print studio close to your delivery address. Fewer kilometres travelled means faster delivery and less transport. Framed posters are assembled and arrive ready to hang. You only pay for the print and its frame: the framing work is free.
A few tips for your photo
A large format reveals every detail of an image, so the photo you choose makes all the difference.
- Resolution: aim for around 150 to 200 dpi at the final size. For a 30 x 40 cm poster, that means roughly 2400 x 3200 pixels.
- Source: use the original file. Photos from recent smartphones are usually fine up to 50 x 70 cm. Avoid screenshots, photos sent through messaging apps, which are heavily compressed, and digital zoom.
- Framing and cropping: all our formats are portrait. Leave a little space around your subject so the crop does not cut through a face or an important detail.
Our full guide, with the recommended resolution for every size, is on the photo tips page.
How long does it take?
Each poster is printed once your order is confirmed. Production takes [PRODUCTION TIME], then your parcel ships with tracking. Typical delivery times for an unframed poster:
- France: 2 to 3 business days
- United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Sweden: 2 to 4 business days
- United States: 2 to 5 business days
- Other countries: usually 3 to 7 business days
A framed poster needs about 3 to 5 extra business days for framing. All the details by country, and the shipping rates, are on our shipping & delivery page. To learn more about papers and frames, see print quality. Any other question? Our FAQ has the answers we are asked most often.
