THREE THINGS
THAT MATTER.

A phone photo is completely fine. Clarity and composition matter more than professional equipment.

01

ONE MAIN SUBJECT

Make the person, pet or object easy to identify. Busy crowds and overlapping subjects need more correction.

02

SHOW THE WHOLE SHAPE

Keep ears, hair, hands, feet and important object edges inside the frame for the best shaped pillow.

03

BRIGHT BEATS BLURRY

Use a sharp, well-lit image. Avoid screenshots that have already been heavily compressed.

WORKS WELL

✓ CLEAR SUBJECT
✓ FULL SHAPE
✓ GOOD LIGHT
✓ HIGH RESOLUTION

IT DOESN’T NEED
TO BE PERFECT.

The erase and restore tools let you correct the automatic cut-out before ordering.
