Also, the user can preview the photo in the card during the personalization process. Alternatively, you can place your order and submit your digital photo via the Photo Upload form (http://www.tinyprints.com/photo-upload-form.php) or by emailing us at photos@tinyprints.com with your order number, email address and first/last name.

To submit your photos later, visit our photo upload form and follow the instructions provided. Please upload your photo in JPEG file format with a minimum resolution of 1530 x 1320 pixels (w x h). If you only have a TIF file, it must be emailed with your order number to photos@tinyprints.com.

Our designer may also need to crop your photo to make it fit properly.
