Free Memorial Photo Editor
Make a memorial photo in every size the funeral home needs, even from the one photo that isn’t quite clear enough.
Choose one photograph and get a print-ready file for every frame size a funeral needs: the 8x10 for the register table, the 5x7 for the program, the 20x24 for the easel.
- 1A free check tells you first how large it prints cleanly.
- 2Too small? It can be enlarged by about one size — softer than a photograph that was big enough, but usually a print worth having.
- 3The background is cleaned up, every size is cropped from one framing, and you get one ZIP for the print shop.
It all runs in this browser, so the photograph never leaves your computer.

Privacy
The photograph never leaves your computer
Nothing is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to be sent. The software that does the work downloads to your browser once and is kept there. Every check, cut-out, crop and preview is then computed by your own machine. Nobody here sees the photograph, and no copy of it exists anywhere but on your computer.
The privacy page lists every third party involved. It is a short list.
How it works
How to make a memorial photo, in four steps
Check it, clean it up, then make the files. Each stage hands its result to the next, so you never re-import a file or re-crop something you already framed.
Check the print size
The largest size the photo prints cleanly, at 300 and 200 DPI, with the crop to each frame shape already taken off. Always free.
Remove the background
Lift the person out of a busy kitchen, a party or a hospital room. A brush fixes any edge the automatic pass gets wrong.
Background, name and sizes
Choose what goes behind them, add their name and dates if you want them, and frame the face once. Every frame size is cut from that framing, with the right pixels and DPI in each file, in one ZIP with a read-me.
Enlarge if needed
If a size you chose is too big for the photo, it can be enlarged by about one size. You see it beside the original before you use it, and it never changes the face.

Enlargement
When the only photo is too small to print
If the photograph is smaller than the size you need, it can be enlarged in your browser before the print files are cut. The enlargement is a general super-resolution pass — it reconstructs edges and texture rather than stretching pixels — and in practice it buys about one step up the size list: a photograph that was honest at 8x10 is usually acceptable at 11x14 afterwards. An enlarged print is softer than one made from a photograph that was large enough to begin with, and it is still a print worth putting on the easel. It is reported as its own figure, next to a before-and-after you can judge with your own eyes, and it is never folded into the free print-size check.
An enlargement buys roughly one more size than the photograph could manage on its own, and the result is softer than a file that was that size to start with — usable, not miraculous. It cannot add detail the camera never captured, and it will not rebuild a face. Nobody can retake the photograph. So the honest thing is to say what an enlargement is worth, and let you look at the result before you decide.
What to do when the only photograph is too small covers the other options, including where a larger original usually turns up.
What you get
Every size a funeral asks for, in one ZIP
10 sizes, one framing decision. Beyond the three the service itself uses, there is 11x14 for a frame seen from a few rows back, 16x20 for the memorial board, 12x16, 18x24 and 24x36 for less common frames and easels, and A4 and A3 for programs printed outside the US.
Drawn to scale. Scroll for the larger sizes.
Need the numbers first? The memorial portrait print size chart lists the pixels each size needs at 300 and 200 DPI, with the crop accounted for.

Questions
Funeral portrait questions
- How do I know whether our photograph is good enough?
- Put it through the free print-size check. It reads the file on your own computer and gives a verdict for every standard size at both 300 and 200 DPI, with the crop each frame shape costs already subtracted. You do not need to pay or make an account to see the answer.
- What does it cost?
- The print-size check is free, and so is everything else until you want clean files. Open a photograph, see the largest size it prints at, clean up the background, enlarge it if it is too small, and crop it for every frame size. Free downloads carry a watermark across the image. Paying $12 once removes it for that photograph and unlocks the full-resolution files. There is no account and no subscription.
- Does it work with iPhone photos?
- Yes. HEIC and HEIF files from an iPhone are decoded in the browser automatically, and so are JPEG, PNG and WebP. A photograph taken on a phone or texted from one opens the same way.
- Which sizes does it export?
- 10 standard frame sizes: 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 16x20, 18x24, 20x24 and 24x36 inches, plus A4 and A3 for programs printed outside the US. You frame the photograph once and every size is cropped from that one framing, with the correct DPI written into each file.
- Can it repair a damaged photograph?
- No. Tears, creases, water damage, heavy fading and color casts are restoration work, and this does not do it. What it does is the print preparation: what the photograph can print at, the background, the crops for every frame size, and files a print shop will take. For a damaged original, a photo restorer is the right answer, and some offer a rush service for funerals.
