Help & FAQ
What makes a good photo, how long a portrait takes, and what happens if it does not look right.
Your photo
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, front-facing photo with the face large in the frame and good light. If you forward a photo on WhatsApp it gets compressed — send the original from your gallery instead.
Can I send more than one photo?
Yes — send a few if you aren’t sure. We’ll pick the best one and show you in the proof.
The only photo I have is old, faded or a little blurry. Can you still use it?
Often, yes. Engraving is light and shadow rather than a reprint, so it forgives a great deal more than a photo print would. Send it anyway — we have carved worse and been pleasantly surprised. If we really don’t think it will work, we’ll tell you before you pay anything.
Can you put more than one person in a portrait?
Yes, up to four. Pick the number on the order page and we’ll show you which sizes work — three or more faces need a bigger panel to keep the detail.
The proof
What if it doesn’t look like them?
We send you a digital proof before any wood is cut. If it isn’t right, tell us and we redo it. If you never approve it, you get a full refund.
How many revisions do I get?
As many as it takes. We would rather redo a proof four times than send you something you don’t want to hang up.
How do you send the proof?
On WhatsApp, to the number you give us at checkout. You reply there to approve it or to ask for a change.
What happens if I just never reply?
Nothing gets cut and nothing gets shipped. We’ll follow up a couple of times and then leave you alone. If you change your mind before you approve the proof, you get a full refund.
How long it takes
How long does it take?
Proofs usually go out within 24–48 hours. Once you approve, carving and finishing takes 3–5 days, then shipping.
I need it for a date. Can you do it faster?
Tell us the date on WhatsApp before you order and we will tell you straight whether it is possible. We would rather say no than miss it.
Delivery
Do you deliver to my city?
We ship across India. Enter your PIN code at checkout and we’ll confirm.
What does shipping cost?
It is calculated at checkout from the size and weight of your piece and where it is going. You see the exact amount before you pay — there is nothing added afterwards.
How is it packed?
Corner-protected and boxed. If it reaches you damaged, send us a photo of the package and we will replace it.
Paying
How do I pay?
UPI, card, net banking or a wallet, through our payment provider. The full amount is paid upfront, which is what lets us start on your proof straight away.
Do you take cash on delivery?
No. Every piece is made for one person from their own photo, so it cannot be resold if it is refused at the door. Prepaid only is what keeps the price where it is.
How do I know this is a real business?
Our phone number and WhatsApp are at the bottom of every page and a real person answers both. You see a proof before we cut anything, and you are not out of pocket if you never approve it.
Looking after it
How do I look after it?
Dust it with a dry cloth. Nothing wet, no polish, no cleaning spray.
Can I hang it in a bathroom, or outside?
No. It is real wood with an oil finish — damp and direct sun will both move it over time. An indoor wall out of direct sunlight is what it is made for.
