To put it simply, photos displayed on screen do not require a high resolution to appear crisp and clear where as photos printed on our products do require a high resolution to print well. Your file should meet these minimum requirements, without large areas of white around the image. Small web images/thumbnails saved off of sources such as Facebook, will not print well and we recommend against using them.
Photo Requirements:
Minimum size needed - 4.7 Megapixel
File Size as JPEG/JPG - Minimum of 672 KB
File Size as PNG - Minimum of 5.45 MB
Other file types, such as PSD, AI, PDF, and EPS are acceptable so long as they meet the minimum in megapixels.
We CANNOT reproduce copyrighted photos and images unless you are the copyright holder.
PersonalThrows.com reserves the right to refuse any objectionable material. We will not reproduce materials that are deemed by our staff to be offensive or obscene.
Here are some guidelines to know if your photo is perfect for our products:
High contrast - A nice, high contrast photo will always work best. If there is a good delineation between highlights and shadows, good detail in the subject and a balance in contrast, your blanket or wall hanging will turn out beautifully.
Large Subject Matter- If your subject matter (a person, a pet, a building, etc) takes up the majority of the photo, you will be able to see more detail and the colors will be more vibrant and true-to-life. If the subject is too small, you might consider cropping the photo so that the subject takes up roughly 60-80% of the image.
Old Photos - While we can certainly make your product from any photo, older photographs are not always the best choice. They can be faded or the color can change over time. For best results, pick the clearest, most color-rich older photograph you have.
Focus- please make sure that the photo you send is in focus. We can do minimal sharpening, but a crisp photo will always work best
Black & White Photos - We can create your product from a black and white photo. No problem!
If you're concerned about the quality of your image being good enough for print, you may email it to contact@personalthrows.com for a free consultation. We highly encourage our customers to do a bit of investigation on whether or not their image is workable before submitting an order. However, if you're concerned and submit the image without checking with us first, you will be responsible under our Image Acceptance Policy if your order ends up with poor quality because of the image you submit.

If you order displays your Package Tracking Numbers, check with the shipper to confirm that your packages were delivered. If your packages each show a status of "delivered", please contact customer service for assistance.
Depending on the combination of items you ordered, some items may have shipped separately. This is because some of our products are fulfilled at different locations, and cannot be shipped together. For example, jacquard woven products ship from a different facility from the rest of our products – an order for a Polar Fleece Blanket and a Jacquard Woven Blanket would be split up into two separate shipments for this reason.
In any case, if an item is missing from your shipment, we ask that you reach out to our customer service department at 1-866-678-6933 or contact@personalthrows.com for further assistance.
