Here's how to order YOUR photo license plate:
1) Find a picture you would like on a license plate. It can be your pet, your relative, a party photo, or whatever! You can also send us images that are not protected by copyright, such as landscape or beach scenes, pictures of celebrities, or specific hard to find items that aren't usually on a license plate already (fighters, Leaning Tower of Pisa, etc.). Remember the better the photo (the higher the resolution) the better your plate will come out.
Check out WebShots for specific images (a new window will pop up):
Any photos found in the 'Community' section can usually be downloaded and used without obtaining permission. If you find a picture here, look for a link under the image that says "View Full Size". Once it pops up, right click the image and save it. You can then email it to us when you place your order.
You can also try Google Image search (a new window will pop up):
Search a ton of images posted by web sites, individuals, and everyone in between. Please be sure the image you are using is not protected by copyrights or trademarks as we do not violate copyright/trademark law. There are a lot of images available for individual use, just be considerate.
We also have about 1,000,000 photos that we can use that are royalty free or we have paid the royalties already. Please feel free to
email us if you need help finding a specific image.
Important image requirements
Many photos are not to the same 'scale' as a license plate. A license plate is 6" x 12", which means it has a 2-1 ratio (the length is twice as long as it's height). Many photos are 8" x 10" or scaled similarly. Many times we have to 'crop' or cut out some parts of the image to fit it properly onto a plate.

Resolution and size of the image is very important! Typically web images are made for fast loading, and therefore the webmasters make them at lower resolution than most images. When you copy these images, they cannot be 'blown up' to fit the item. You can usually left click on an image and click on 'Properties' to find out about images. The higher the file size, typically the higher the resolution. Thumbnails are usually less than 10k in file size, and quality photos are usually over 300k (sometimes 1Mb or more).

We can add text or other lettering to any photo plate. We will provide you with an opportunity to order other options including a license plate frame or cover, or other items at the time of sale, including matching coffee mugs, at discounted prices.
2) Email us the image you want on a license plate. Click here to email us an image on your computer (and don't forget to send the image as an attachment. Remember, the higher the resolution and bigger the picture, the better. We accept photos in the following image formats: .gif .jpg .jpeg .cdr

4) Pay for and receive confirmation of your order.

We always try to fill orders in the order they were received, and we always try to ship our orders as quickly as possible. We don't collect from our credit card customers until the order ships, so it gives us added incentive to ship quickly. Sometimes we get backed up on the custom photo plates, but we have never taken more than a week or ten days to ship them.
