How to Add Photos and Names to Personalized Gifts

Personalizing a gift is easy once you know a few tricks. This guide shows how to add photos and names to personalized gifts so every keepsake looks its best.

Step 1: Choose your product

Pick a keepsake to personalize, such as an ornament, a mug, or a blanket.

Step 2: Pick a great photo

Use a bright, high-resolution image with faces toward the camera and a simple background so your subjects stand out.

Step 3: Add names and text

Keep text short and clear. A name plus a date reads beautifully and turns the item into a dated keepsake.

Step 4: Preview before ordering

Always check the live preview to confirm the crop, layout, and spelling before you place your order.
