Prepare a memorial portrait for print

One photograph in, print-ready files out. Everything happens on this computer — the photograph is never uploaded, to us or to anyone else. Work down the page; each stage hands its result to the next.

Something not working? The FAQ covers what usually goes wrong — photographs that will not open, edges that need fixing by hand, and what the watermark does.

  1. 1

    What it can print at

    The largest size this photograph prints cleanly, size by size, with the crop already taken into account. Free, and it stays free.

  2. 2

    Clean it up

    Lift the person away from whatever is behind them, and fix anything the automatic pass got wrong with a brush.

  3. 3

    The print files

    Frame it once and every standard size is cropped from that framing. The enlargement is there if a size needs it, and everything comes out as one ZIP for the printer.

Stage 1

What this photograph can print at

Start here. Drop the photograph in and you will know the largest size worth printing before you spend any time on it — including whether the 16x20 for the service is going to work.

Drop the photograph here

JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC. You can paste one from the clipboard too — a photo saved from a message works.

The photograph is read on this device and never uploaded.

Stage 2

Clean it up

This lifts the person away from whatever is behind them — a busy room, a hand on their shoulder, a wallpaper that fights the frame. A photograph checked in stage 1 carries straight over, so there is nothing to choose twice. It all runs on this computer, not on a server. Whatever this stage produces opens stage 3.

This works best on a laptop or desktop computer. It will run on a phone, but slowly, and on an older phone it may not finish. The print-size check above works properly everywhere.
