How do i send my photo to you?
There are 3 ways to get your photo to us:
1. Upload your photo during the order process. There is a Picture Upload button in the list of product options, you’ll see it during your order. If you click the Upload button, you can choose your image from your computer.
2. E-mail your photo to us after you place your order. You may e-mail your photo to Sales@LaserPerfectGifts.com
3. Or you can send us the photo via regular mail: Mail to: 10645 N. Oracle Rd., #121-154, Tucson, AZ 85737
(By uploading or transmitting an image to us, you warrant and declare that you own the image or have obtained the rights to use the image)
What if i don't have a digital image, only a printed photo?
You can either mail us your photo (we will return the photo along with your laser engraved plaque); or you can scan the photo and e-mail it or upload it with your order. When scanning, we recommend you scan at minimum 300 DPI to obtain good detail.
I took the photo with my phone, how do i send it with my order?
Today’s smart phones can take great pictures. You can e-mail the original image to us at sales@laserperfectgifts.com or upload your photo during your order. Please be sure to attach the original image taken, not a smaller re-sized image.
I want to send you a photo i saw on facebook or instagram, will that work?
Photos and images from web pages such as Facebook or Instagram are re-sized down to 72 DPI, which is a very small image size. It is difficult to make small images appear crisp and clear. It would be best to get the original non re-sized image if at all possible. View the image by zooming way in on a large screen to get an idea of what the image may look like when enlarged.
Should i crop or re-size the image before sending?
No, sending us your original non-modified image would be best. We will take great care in cropping and making adjustments to the image for the very best laser engraving possible. The higher the detail in the photo, the better the engraving will be, and every time a photo is modified or re-sized it loses precious detail. For the very best laser engraved photo, send us a large, original image with the subject in crisp focus.

About Laser Engraving
how does laser engraving work?
A laser engraving machine radiates energy to amplify light. This laser light energy is focused into a beam and can be directed onto materials to vaporize them. We can vaporize the surface of granite, marble, wood, acrylic, or other materials. We can also use our laser engraver to cut certain materials such as certain plastics and wooden sheets.
how does a photo become laser engraved?
With today’s laser engraving technology, we can send highly specialized information to the laser engraver to create a precise laser engraving pattern, which will etch away just the right amount of material to make a photo appear in the surface, giving you a laser engraved photo memory to last a lifetime…and beyond.
