Made from your photo
Custom Lithoframe
Your photo, 3D printed as a lithophane: a thin relief panel that looks like carved stone until light passes through it — then the picture appears. Black & white or full colour, on a stand or in a lightbox.
Photo and preview
Nothing to upload here. After you order, we message you on WhatsApp or email, using the contact details you give at checkout, to collect your photo & modifications if any. We send you a preview of the lithophane, and print only once you approve it.

Questions
What is a lithophane?
A photo turned into a thin 3D relief. Thicker areas block more light and print dark; thinner areas let light through and print bright. Unlit, it looks like a carved panel. Lit from behind, your photo appears.
Do I need a light behind it?
Yes — that is how a lithophane works, so both come with their own light. The frame with support has a light panel and diffuser behind the photo; the lightbox has its light built in. Each runs off the USB cable in the box.
Black & white or colour — which should I pick?
Black & white is the classic lithophane: soft, timeless, and forgiving of any photo. Colour reproduces the photo’s own colours when lit and costs more because it takes several filaments and far longer to print. Colour looks best with bright, well-lit photos.
Landscape, portrait or square?
It depends on the frame. The frame with support takes a 20 × 15 cm panel either way up — landscape or portrait, same price. The lightbox is a square box (15 × 15 × 5 cm) and takes a 15 cm square panel. We crop your photo to the shape and show you in the preview.
Can I see it before you print it?
Yes, always, at no extra cost. We send a preview on WhatsApp or email and print only after you approve it.
What if my photo is not good enough?
We check every photo before we start. If it will not print well, we tell you why and ask for another before printing anything.
How do I look after it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sun for long periods and away from heat — it is printed plastic and can warp above about 50 °C.
