The Art Form
What's a Lithophane?
A lithophane is a 3D-printed image made from translucent white filament. The magic happens when light shines through — thinner areas allow more light, creating bright tones, while thicker areas block light to form shadows.
The result is a dimensional, glowing portrait of your photo — one that looks almost invisible in normal light, then transforms into something extraordinary when illuminated.

Our Story
We believe your best memories deserve more than sitting on your phone — they deserve to be brought to life.
What started as a passion for 3D printing became something we had to share with the world. After discovering the incredible detail and emotion lithophanes capture when illuminated, we knew this was more than just a product — it was a way to preserve the moments that matter most.
Every order we receive means everything to us. We pour the same care and attention into each piece, no matter what. We're a small business, and every piece you hold started in our hands. Thank you for letting us be part of your story.

Frequently Asked
Head to our product page, choose your size and orientation, upload your photo, and add to cart. Your photo is required before checkout so we have everything we need to start crafting your piece right away.
We accept JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and most other common photo formats. The best lithophanes come from high-resolution images with good contrast and clear subject lighting. If you're unsure about your photo, just reach out — we're happy to advise before you order.
Photos with good contrast, clear lighting, and a well-defined subject work best. Faces and portraits turn out beautifully, as do pet photos and landscapes. Avoid heavily filtered, very dark, or very low-resolution images. If in doubt, send us a message before ordering.
Orders are typically crafted in 2–5 business days, then delivered within 3–10 business days after shipment. Once your order ships we'll send you a tracking number so you can follow it on its way.
We offer three sizes: 4×6" ($20), 5×7" ($30), and 8×10" ($40). Our most popular is the 5×7" — it gives stunning detail and looks beautiful displayed on a shelf or desk. Select your size at checkout.
Place it in front of any light source — a lamp, a window with natural light, or even a phone flashlight works. Lights with a warm yellow/amber tone (like a lamp or candle light) tend to give the most beautiful results. Many customers use a small LED strip or a candle lamp behind it for a cozy, glowing display.
Because every lithophane is made to order using your personal photo, all sales are final once production begins. However, if your order arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the item. We'll review your case and may offer a replacement or refund at our discretion. Please reach out — we always want to make things right.
Absolutely — many customers order multiple lithophanes as gifts for family and friends. Each one is made individually with care. If you're ordering in larger quantities, contact us and we may be able to arrange a discount.
Yes, completely. Your photo is used solely for creating your lithophane. We do not share, sell, or use your images for any other purpose. Once your order is fulfilled, photos are not retained.
