Frequently asked questions
What is a lithophane and how does the photo appear?
A lithophane encodes an image in varying material thickness. Thin areas transmit more light and look brighter; thicker areas look darker. The print appears as a photograph when placed in front of suitable light. The on-screen tonal preview is illustrative, not a guarantee of the exact printed appearance.
Is an LED lamp included?
No. This product includes the printed photo panel and frame, plus printed stand feet if selected. LEDs, a light source, wiring and other electronics are not included. It is a photo-and-frame print, not a complete powered lamp.
Which photos and colors work with this tool?
Upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 10 MB. Clear subjects and visible tonal differences are easier to review in the preview. The photo panel requires a pale opaque material; dark or specialty reflective colors are rejected for that panel. You can choose the compatible frame color separately.
Is my original photo uploaded to a server?
Photo processing happens in your browser tab. Requesting a quote uploads the generated printable model, which contains the photo relief, rather than the original image file. A saved design stays in the same tab for up to two hours; its contents are not included in the page URL.
