How Photo Engraving Works
Laser engraving converts your photo into a high-contrast etching on anodized aluminum. The process works best with:
- High-contrast photos — clear light and dark areas engrave most sharply
- Simple compositions — a face, a pet, a landmark — rather than busy group shots
- High-resolution files — 300 DPI or higher for the sharpest results
- Black and white or high-contrast color photos — the engraving renders in grayscale
