MemorialPrintKit

Memorial portrait maker

MemorialPrintKit turns one photograph into a memorial portrait for every frame a funeral needs: it checks how large the photo can print, replaces the background, adds a name and dates, and crops the 5x7, 8x10 and 20x24 from one framing. It runs in your browser, keeps the real face, and is free to try.

From photograph to portrait

The editor is one page, worked from top to bottom. Each step hands its result to the next, so nothing is re-imported or re-cropped.

  1. Check what the photograph can print. Choose a photograph and the editor reports the largest size it prints cleanly at, size by size, at 300 and 200 DPI, with the crop for each frame already subtracted. This part needs no payment and no account.
  2. Enlarge it, if it falls short. A photograph that is not quite clear enough at the size you need can be enlarged by about one step up the size list. The result is shown beside the original so you can judge it before using it.
  3. Replace the background. The editor lifts the person away from what is behind them. A brush fixes any edge it gets wrong. Then choose white, a plain color, a ready-made scene or a picture of your own.
  4. Add their name and dates. Type the lines as you want them printed, choose where they sit, and pick a typeface. The words land in the same place on every size.
  5. Frame it once. Position the portrait once. Every frame size is cut from that one framing, so the program photograph and the easel print match.
  6. Download the files. One ZIP holds a file for every size, each at the exact pixel dimensions and DPI a print shop expects, with a read-me saying which file is which.

It keeps the real face

Nothing in the editor redraws a face. AI portrait generators make a new picture guided by yours, and the face that comes back can be subtly not the same person. On the portrait everybody at the service looks at, the family will notice.

Here the background is replaced and the face stays as the pixels the camera recorded. The enlargement reconstructs edges and texture, and it is deliberately not a face restoration model.

Every size a funeral needs

The ZIP covers 5x7, 8x10, A4, 11x14, 12x16, A3, 16x20, 18x24, 20x24 and 24x36. The three most services use are 8x10 for the register table, 5x7 for the program and 20x24 for the easel; 18x24 is the other common easel size, so ask the funeral home which theirs take.

What it does not do

It does not repair scratches, tears, water damage or fading. A damaged original is a job for a photo restorer, and worth paying one for.

It does not print. It prepares the files, and any photo counter, print shop or online lab prints them. The funeral home can often arrange that too.

What it costs

Editing, the print-size check, the background and the enlargement are free, and so are watermarked downloads to see the result. The clean full-size files for that photograph, every frame size in one ZIP for the print shop, are $12 once, with no account and no subscription.

Everything runs on your own computer. The photograph is never uploaded, to us or to anyone else.
