Custom Photo Ornaments
Custom photo ornaments turn this year's best pictures into something you can hang on the tree. Upload a family snapshot, a baby's first portrait, a wedding photo or your dog in a Santa hat, then add names, the year and a short line. You'll see the design in a live preview before we print it. Browse every style in our personalized ornaments, or go straight to family ornaments and baby's first Christmas ornaments.

Choosing a Photo That Prints Well
A small ornament is less forgiving than a wall print, so the picture matters more than the design.
- Fill the frame with faces. Crop close; a group shot taken from across the room turns into tiny dots at ornament size.
- Use good light. Daylight photos with no heavy shadows keep skin tones and details clear.
- Send the original file. Screenshots and pictures saved from social media are compressed and can look soft once printed.
- Match the shape. Wide photos suit rectangular and wooden plaque styles; single portraits look best in round or heart designs.
Ideas for Every Photo on Your Phone
Picture ornaments work for almost any moment of the year: a new baby or a pregnancy announcement, a first home, a wedding or engagement, a trip you all loved, a pet's first Christmas, or a loved one you want to remember with a memorial photo ornament. Many families order one every December, so the tree slowly becomes a photo album.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of photo works best on a custom ornament?
A clear, well-lit photo where the faces fill most of the picture. Use the original image from your phone or camera rather than a screenshot, and crop out background you don't need.
Can I add text to a photo ornament?
Yes. Most designs let you add names, the year and a short message alongside the photo. Keep the text brief so it stays readable on a small ornament.
Can I see my photo ornament before ordering?
Yes. When you personalize, the live preview shows your photo and text on the design, so you can adjust the crop or wording before adding it to your cart.
Are photo ornaments a good gift for grandparents?
They're one of the most personal gifts you can give them: a picture of the grandkids, dated with the year, becomes part of their tree every Christmas.
