Pick pictures of equal orientation if you can — all landscape or all portrait. If we receive a mix, we’ll crop photos to the most appropriate orientation.
Avoid Large Groups on Smaller Lenticulars – If your image includes a large group of people, consider choosing an 8×10 or larger size. Lenticular lenses can soften or obscure fine details, so smaller faces may not appear clearly.
For smaller-sized pictures, select close-up photos for best results. We may zoom in on pictures as appropriate.
Avoid harsh black-on-white designs. Very dark text or graphics on bright white can “ghost” through the lens. Better: use white text on a dark panel, add a solid color backing, or outline the text.
Avoid small fonts. Fine letters can be obscured by the lenticular lenses. If text must be included, keep it clear and uncomplicated. Skip fussy styles like hairline serifs, high-contrast Didones, scripts, and ultra-condensed fonts.
Keep important details away from edges. Avoid putting faces, logos, or key text right against the border — minor trimming and lens alignment can make thin edges look uneven.
Skip thin borders and hairline frames. Very thin lines near the edge can appear wavy or uneven through the lens.
Match your aspect ratio. If your image’s shape doesn’t match the selected size, it will need cropping — upload a version framed the way you want it to appear.
For flip/multi-image effects (if applicable). Keep frames similar in brightness and contrast, and align subjects as closely as possible to reduce ghosting across frames.
File types. You can upload most image formats; JPG or PNG are preferred.
Image cleanup. Send the sharpest version you have; we’ll tidy small imperfections before production.
Resolution (DPI). Ultra-high DPI isn’t necessary—300 DPI or less is plenty for lenticular prints.
