From Pixel to Print: How We Create Your Photo Merge

Ever wondered how a photo merge portrait goes from your digital upload to a framed piece of art? In this guide, we’ll walk you step by step through our photo merge process so you can see exactly how we turn your memories into something timeless.

Step 1: Upload & Selection

Once you place your order, you upload the photos you’d like us to merge. We review them carefully to ensure they’ll work well together, and if there are any issues, we’ll contact you.

Step 2: Planning

This is where the creative work begins. We carefully study each photo you send and decide the best way to bring them together. Individuals are positioned so the group feels natural, with attention to posture, expressions, and how everyone fits within the frame. Our goal is to design a portrait that looks like it could have been taken in one moment.

Step 3: Fine Retouching

Once the positions are in place, we refine every detail. Colours are balanced, lighting and shadows are adjusted. We add delicate hand-drawn shading and extra-fine detail right down to hair strands and fabric, so the portrait feels lifelike and authentic.

Step 4: Your Preview

We send you previews before printing. With unlimited edits, you can suggest adjustments until you’re completely happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.

Step 5: Print & Delivery

Once approved, the portrait is printed on premium A4 photo paper, securely packaged, and shipped with free next-day UK delivery. This ensures your memories arrive fast, safe, and ready to be displayed.

Every portrait goes through this same careful process—because your memories deserve nothing less. Start your photo merge today. Still got questions? Visit our Photo Merge FAQ for quick answers.
