Works with customer phone photos

Customers can provide a pet, portrait, car, or product photo. The operator can quickly prepare a PNG for the engraving job.

Simple enough for live use

The interface avoids heavy design tooling and keeps the generation action prominent.

Keep production checks in place

Even in a live setting, inspect the PNG and use tested material settings before engraving.

Photo tips

  • Ask customers for the original photo rather than a screenshot.
  • If taking the photo at the stall, use even light and a simple background.
  • Have a standard first setting for detail and line weight.
  • Download and name files clearly for each order.

Common mistakes

  • Trying to fix a very poor photo while the customer waits.
  • Not explaining that generation uses a credit.
  • Letting the customer choose a tiny subject in a wide scene.
  • Skipping material tests for a new product.

FAQs

Is this suitable for live events?

Yes. The product is designed for quick photo-to-artwork preparation while still leaving final engraving settings to the operator.

What should I tell customers?

Ask for a clear photo where the subject is large, sharp, and not hidden by a busy background.

Can I use it on mobile?

Yes. The workflow supports mobile upload and camera capture.
