Frequently Asked Questions

Is a custom portrait a good 40th birthday gift?

Yes — it is one of our most popular 40th birthday gifts: personal, unexpected, and the kind of thing people keep on the wall. Upload a photo, pick a style, and preview it free before you order.

What do you get someone who has everything for their 40th?

A custom portrait of themselves in a style they love — it's the rare gift a "has everything" person can't buy for themselves, and it celebrates the milestone in a way no gadget can.

Can a couple, family, or pet be in it?

Yes — choose a design made for the number of subjects you want and upload a clear photo of each.

What photo should I upload?

A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo works best — phone photos are perfectly fine. The sharper the photo, the more detailed the portrait.

Will it arrive in time?
