PhotoThrow accepts images with the following extensions: JPG . We recommend using JPG formats because of file size. (GIF images will not reproduce as well as other formats because of color compression. Bitmaps and Tiffs are far too large in size) Too small is also not good.

Files must be between 60k and 700k (depending on product). The upload time will depend on the file size and your Internet connection speed. Please be patient when uploading a large image. Try scanning the image in grayscale to reduce file size.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IMAGES LESS THAN 60k WILL HOLD UP YOUR ORDER!

Please try to use the best-quality image possible. Check the individual product descriptions for recommended resolution. If your image is below the minimum resolution/size requirements, do not simply increase the size in your editing software. You must either rescan the image or use a higher-quality image.

When scanning in photographs, please use a resolution of 200-300 dpi. When taking digital images, set your camera at the highest possible resolution. You can always reduce the resolution later. Low-resolution images cannot be increased without loss of image quality.

What is the recommended maximum number of images I can have in my PhotoThrow? The rule of thumb for this is quite simple.1-3-5 or 1 image for a pillow (our smallest item), 3 for a 30x40 and 5 for the 40x60. While photos that exceed the the 1-3-5 rule can be made, the reproduction quality diminishes with each additional image and these orders will be made at the buyers risk.

Your image will be reproduced as it appears. In some cases, we may crop the image for size, to fit the product you order. However, PhotoThrow will not color correct, retouch or combine images.

Close-ups and images with bright colors will produce the best results.

We cannot reproduce copyrighted photos and images.

PhotoThrow reserves the right to refuse any objectionable material.

We will not reproduce materials that are deemed by our staff to be offensive or obscene.

PROPER FORMAT OF PICTURE

In order to get the best possible quality form your photo, follow these simple rules.

These 3 simple steps will make a small file size that will be easy and quick to upload to our servers.

When scanning, set the scan options to scan at 300 dpi and scan the file in grayscale (NOT BLACK & WHITE).

If you have an option to adjust the size of the picture, choose something small. For example 2" x 3".

Save the scan as a jpg file with NO compression and best quality.
