How to Choose a 3D Crystal Photo Frame

A 3D crystal photo frame is a personalized crystal display made from a customer-provided photo. The photo is processed for laser engraving inside a solid crystal piece rather than printed on paper or placed behind a conventional frame.

The current YiYues product uses a rectangular crystal design with a horizontal display format. It is suitable for family photos, couple photos, group portraits, pet photos and other meaningful images when the important subjects are clearly visible.

This type of gift is best for someone who wants a compact display piece that combines a personal photo with a crystal shape. It is not a wall-mounted picture frame. It is a freestanding crystal keepsake designed to be displayed on a desk, shelf, cabinet or other stable surface.

A crystal photo frame can be a suitable choice when the photo contains a clear subject and the recipient would appreciate a personalized display gift.

It may work well for:

– a couple photo;
– a family portrait;
– a graduation photo;
– a wedding or anniversary memory;
– a parent, child or grandparent portrait;
– a clear dog or cat photo, if the subject can be prepared for engraving;
– a memorial or meaningful personal photograph.

The most important decision is not the occasion. It is whether the photo has enough visible detail and whether the selected crystal size can accommodate the number of people or subjects in the image.

Choose the photo before choosing the crystal size. A clear original image is usually easier to prepare for a personalized crystal photo frame.

For the best starting point:

– use the original photo file when possible;
– choose an image with good lighting;
– make sure the important people or subjects are visible;
– avoid heavy motion blur;
– avoid very dark photos;
– avoid screenshots or heavily compressed images;
– check that faces, heads and important body parts are not cut off;
– avoid placing the main subject too close to the edge of the photo.

A photo taken with a mobile phone may be suitable if the original file is clear and has not been heavily compressed. A high-resolution phone photo is usually a better starting point than a screenshot copied from a social media app.

For a group photo, count the people or other main subjects before choosing a size. If the image contains too many small or distant subjects, contact YiYues before ordering so the production team can confirm whether the photo is suitable.

Before uploading your image, review the 3D crystal photo gift guide for additional photo preparation information.

The current rectangular crystal photo frame uses size options based on the number of figures shown in the photo. The product selector is the final source of truth because available variations and prices may change.

The current product page lists the following options:

– 80 x 120 x 30 mm — listed for 1–3 figures
– 100 x 150 x 50 mm — listed for 1–4 figures
– 120 x 160 x 30 mm — listed for 1–5 figures
– 120 x 180 x 40 mm — listed for 1–6 figures
– 150 x 200 x 30 mm — listed for 1–8 figures

For one or two people, start by reviewing the smaller options. For a family or group portrait, compare the larger options so the subjects have enough space in the final engraving.

The number shown in the product selector is a guide rather than a promise that every photo will produce the same result. Photo orientation, subject spacing, facial detail and the amount of background can affect the final preparation. Select the variation that matches the number of main figures, then review the product options before adding the item to your cart.

If you are comparing different shapes and sizes, use the 3D crystal shapes and size guide. For a more detailed people-count explanation, see the crystal size guide by number of people.

The current product page allows customers to upload a photo for engraving and add custom engraving text where supported.

You can use a name, date or short message when the selected product options allow it. Enter the text exactly as you want it to appear, including capitalization, punctuation and spacing.

The current product page displays an additional charge for custom engraving text. Check the product options and cart summary before payment because the charge and available personalization settings may change.

Do not publish a fixed character limit unless the same limit is visible in the current product options or has been confirmed by the YiYues production team. If a character limit appears beside the text field, follow that limit before placing the order.

Before submitting the order:

1. confirm that the correct photo has been uploaded;
2. confirm the selected crystal size;
3. check the number of figures against the selected size;
4. review the engraving text;
5. check the font or text style option;
6. confirm the final price in the cart.

An LED base can change how the engraved crystal is displayed, especially in a darker room. However, an LED base should not be assumed to be included only because it appears in a product image.

The current product description presents the LED base as an optional enhancement. Before ordering, check the selected product options, the cart summary and the final checkout details to confirm whether the LED base is included, available separately or unavailable for the selected product.

If the LED base is important to your order, confirm this before payment rather than relying on a lifestyle photograph.
