How it works

Three simple steps.
Free until you approve.

  1. Send a photo

    Send a favourite photo on WhatsApp, with their name and any dates or words. Tell us which plaque you like, or ask us which would suit the photo.

  2. See your free preview

    We lay the plaque out around your photo, with the picture as large as we can make it, and send you a preview, usually within a working day. Ask for any changes you’d like.

  3. Approve it, then pay

    Nothing to pay until you’re happy with it. Then we send a secure payment link: pay by card, add the delivery address (theirs, if it’s a gift), and we make it.

A small, thoughtful collection

Three plaques.
Each one designed around your photo.

How your preview works ↗

We don’t drop your photo into a fixed template. We lay out each plaque to suit the photo you send, and give the picture as much room as possible. Their name, dates and any short line are fitted around it. The round and standing keepsakes come in stainless steel or brass; the garden stake is stainless steel.

Room and garden pictures are mock-ups made with the exact engraving artwork. Example pets and their photos are illustrations.

Familiar faces, kept close

A little of their character.
In every line.

Fine detail.
Real metal.

The fur, the whiskers, the familiar look. This photograph from our sister brand Portraits in Metal shows an actual engraved portrait and the texture of the metal.

We turn your photo into a fine-line engraving with our design tools, then check and finish every design by eye before you see it.

For someone missing their companion

A gift that says,
“I remember them too.”

The preview comes to you. Delivery can go straight to them when you order. A keepsake for their shelf, or a quiet place in the garden.

Tell us it is a gift. If you would like a note included, ask on WhatsApp before ordering so we can confirm what is possible.

Before you begin

A few helpful answers.

No need to have everything decided. Start with a photo.

All questions ↗
Is the preview really free?

Yes. Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll design a plaque around it, with their name and your words, and send you a preview. There’s nothing to pay and no obligation to buy.

How long does the preview take?

It arrives usually within a working day, in your WhatsApp conversation. If you emailed us instead, we reply by email.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo where you can see their face and eyes. Phone photos are fine. Try to avoid screenshots, heavy filters and photos taken from far away. If you have a few you like, send up to three.

How do I buy after seeing my preview?

Tell us you’re happy with it, and which metal you’d like for a round or standing keepsake. We send a secure payment link for that plaque. You pay by card and enter the delivery address there. Payments are taken securely by Stripe for InstaPlaque, our parent company. Your bank statement may show InstaPlaque.

It’s a gift. Can you send it straight to them?

Yes. The preview comes to you, so you can check it first. When you pay, enter their address for delivery.
