A custom 3D crystal ball photo gift turns a selected photograph into an engraved image inside a clear crystal sphere. Choosing the right photo and size helps you create a result that matches the people or pets you want to include.

Use this guide to check photo quality, figure count, ball diameter, text personalization and LED base availability before visiting the product page.

A custom 3D crystal ball photo gift is made from a customer-provided photo and engraved inside a clear crystal ball. The finished piece is designed to display a person, couple, family, or pet photo as a personalized keepsake.

Before ordering, choose a suitable photo, confirm the number of figures, select the ball diameter, and review the available text and base options.

The submitted image is prepared for crystal engraving and adjusted to suit the selected ball size. The result depends on the original photo, subject visibility, cropping and the engraving process.

For the clearest result, use a sharp, well-lit photo in which the people or pets are easy to identify. Review the photo requirements before placing your order.

The best photo for a custom crystal ball is clear, well lit and focused. The main people or pets should face the camera where possible and should not be hidden, heavily cropped or covered by other objects.

Avoid screenshots, very dark photos, strong blur, group photos with too many subjects and images where the important parts of the subject are cut off. A mobile phone photo can work when it has enough resolution and the subject is clearly visible.

Choose the ball diameter according to the number of figures in your photo. The available product options currently list the following figure ranges:

• 80 mm diameter: fits 1–2 figures.
• 100 mm diameter: fits 1–3 figures.
• 120 mm diameter: fits 1–4 figures.
• 150 mm diameter: fits 1–6 figures.

For a group or pet photo, make sure every figure you want included is visible and check the live product variation before ordering. See the 3D crystal size guide by number of people for related size information.

Yes. A dog or cat photo may be suitable when the pet is clearly visible, in focus and well lit. Avoid photos with heavy blur, strong shadows, obstruction or important parts cropped out.

Choose the ball size according to the number of people or pets shown in the final design. Contact YiYues before ordering if you are unsure whether a particular pet photo is suitable.

You may be able to add a name, date or short message depending on the selected product variation. Follow the text instructions shown on the product page and stay within the displayed line and character limits.

Before placing the order, check the spelling, numbers, punctuation and capitalization carefully. Personalized text may be produced exactly as submitted.
