    hoto-sur-porcelaine.fr The features, particularly the nose, have been enlarged and distorted. The original files are noticeably softer. On the medallion, the contrast/saturation is pushed way too far. The face has turned reddish-brown, the shadows and wrinkles are hardened. I would therefore like a replacement sent as quickly as possible, given that my first emails began well over a month ago. As I am leaving the place where this medallion is to be mounted within a fortnight.

    Apart from some initial problems (I stopped receiving information about my order after I rejected the first changes that were made, but fortunately customer service responded quickly and efficiently), there were no further issues. The print on the ceramic is perfect, the colours vivid and the ceramic of good quality. Everything also went well with the delivery. I also bought the glue to place the photo on my mother's cross and it is holding up very well. I want to thank Adrian for the support he gave me. I am satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

    Very nice photo processing, everything OK. However, with the image cropping it would be better if you could do it yourself online – like with a photo book. As it is, you have to keep writing back about what you'd like changed. I had two pictures made (mother & father), and matching the sizes was a bit difficult. Thank you, and I hope the mounting goes well for me.

    I am absolutely thrilled with the porcelain memorial portraits. The quality is outstanding and the result looks exactly like the original photo. Communication was completely smooth and the work was done incredibly quickly. A huge highlight was that the pictures were printed twice more as extras – a wonderful surprise that made me very happy. Definitely 5 stars!

    The negative review is not about the quality of the work but about the delivery. UPS delivery one morning around 10:30 a.m. I was working, so not at home. I make my arrangements and therefore schedule a delivery for the next morning, since it was impossible for me to have it delivered to a pickup point or a locker. And that day, the driver makes his deliveries in the afternoon. You should look into working with more flexible providers. Because it also happens that customers have to work in order to be able to shop at your store.

    Our response

    Thank you for your feedback, and our sincere apologies for these delivery complications. Shipping is handled by UPS and unfortunately we have no control over the delivery time slots. We are glad that the medallion itself meets your expectations.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am truly satisfied. I had a ceramic photo made for my sister's gravestone and the result exceeded my expectations. The photo is beautiful and the work was carried out with great care and professionalism. Heartfelt thanks for treating something so important to me and my family with respect and sensitivity. ❤️🌹🙏

    Thank you very much for the picture of our loved ones! The processing and delivery went smoothly. It turned out very beautifully. If the rain stops in the next few days, we can mount it on the memorial in time for the 13th anniversary. It is a little treasure for us, as it is our favourite picture.

    Almost perfect work, excellent colors, just a small foreign particle on the glossy surface of the ceramic, and they kindly offered to resolve it by reprinting. But I repeat, it was a minor thing, but since my daughter was a professional photographer, I wanted the very best for her.

  • Anna Maria L.

    The plaque is very beautiful and very well made. The only thing that in my opinion isn't right—otherwise I would have given an excellent review instead of a good one—is the weight: it is really very heavy, maybe too heavy, and therefore difficult to put in place. A pity, because otherwise it is perfect

    Excellent experience! Courtesy and professionalism from the first contact right through to delivery, which was quick and always trackable. I appreciated being sent a preview, which allows you to modify the photo or the text. Very honest price! Well done.

Frequently asked questions

Our porcelain photos are made for permanent outdoor display. Metallic pigments are fused at high temperature, and a protective glaze seals the color deep into the surface, creating a finish that resists fading, scratching, and harsh weather for the long term.

To keep it firmly in place, we recommend adding our assembly adhesive and following the installation steps included with your order.

Absolutely. We carefully clean up scratches, sharpen clarity, adjust colors, remove backgrounds, and bring black-and-white images to life in full color.

If you have something specific in mind — a particular crop, added text, or anything else — describe it on the product page and we'll take care of it.

For the best result, we recommend selecting the preview option. That way you can see our work and request adjustments before we print.

After placing your order, we prepare a digital proof and send it to you by email or SMS.

You can then:

  • Approve the design to move straight to production.
  • Request changes: add comments, attach reference images, and we'll revise it. Every revision is free.

We only print once you're completely happy with the result. If you ordered multiple items, each one has its own preview.

Two things to keep in mind:

  • Measure the space on the headstone so your photo fits comfortably.
  • Check cemetery regulations: some require specific dimensions.

Larger sizes bring out facial details more clearly, while smaller ones work well in tighter spaces.

It only takes a few minutes:

  1. Pick your product and choose a size and orientation.
  2. Upload your photo and tell us about any special requests: background changes, text, retouching preferences.
  3. Add to cart and complete checkout with your shipping and payment details.

You don't need an account; your email address is enough. If you'd like to see the result before we print, select the preview option while customizing your order.

For printed photos

Scan at 300 DPI if you can: a photo lab or home scanner works best. If scanning isn't an option, a phone photo will do. Just make sure it's sharp, well-lit, and free from glare.

For digital files

Upload directly in the order form. We accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC files. A green checkmark confirms we received it.

Once we receive your order, we get to work on your porcelain photo.

If you chose a preview, we'll send you a digital proof by email or SMS so you can check everything and give the go-ahead. Need a change? Just let us know: every revision is free, and we won't print until you're completely satisfied.

Once approved (or right away if you skipped the preview), we move into production. Tracking details arrive automatically when your order ships.

Standard delivery is free and most orders arrive within 7–14 days, including production and shipping. Need it sooner? Choose priority shipping at checkout and it arrives within 3–7 days. If you selected a preview, production starts once you approve.

You'll receive tracking details by email as soon as we ship.

It's straightforward. While customizing your order, you can add our recommended adhesive, which bonds to stone, marble, granite, and most other surfaces.

Steps

  1. Clean the area with alcohol and let it dry.
  2. Position the porcelain photo and mark the spot with a pencil.
  3. Apply tape around the edges to catch any overflow.
  4. Spread a generous amount of adhesive on the back of the photo.
  5. Press firmly into place and hold for 30 to 45 seconds.

You'll also receive written instructions in the package and a video tutorial by email.

Each porcelain photo is carefully wrapped in shock-absorbing materials — bubble wrap and foam — then placed in a sturdy shipping box.

If anything arrives damaged, let us know within 48 hours with a photo of the packaging and the item. We'll send a replacement at no cost.
