Custom Photo Lithophane

Your photo printed as a thin, white panel — the image appears only when lit from behind. A night light or a framed panel, with no home-made wiring.

  • Your photo becomes a thin, backlit panel
  • Without electronics, or with a certified USB/LED base — never home-wired
  • Fits as a pet memorial, family photo or wedding gift
  • Upload the photo through the same order form
  • The panel can be framed or stood on a lit base

What exactly we make

A lithophane is one photo turned into a three-dimensional panel — the versions differ in framing and lighting.

  • Lithophane panel

    A thin, white panel with your photo — the image only appears when light passes through the material.

  • Version without electronics

    The panel alone, for your own frame, window or existing lighting.

  • Version with a USB/LED base

    The panel set into a ready-made, certified base with an LED, powered from a USB port — no home wiring involved.

  • Framed panel

    A lithophane framed as a picture to stand or hang, backlit by an external light source.

  • Memorial gift

    A photo of a pet, a couple, a family or an important event turned into a three-dimensional panel.

  • Format and crop

    Rectangular or square panel — we choose the crop together with you to fit the photo.

How to choose a lithophane

A few things that decide how readable the image is.

  1. 01

    Source photo

    A sharp, well-lit photo with clear contrast between the subject and the background works best — it drives how readable the backlit image is.

  2. 02

    Material

    We print the panel in PLA — rated to approx. 55°C, meant for indoor use, not outdoors or in a car.

  3. 03

    Panel thickness

    Thickness is varied to control brightness — thinner areas let more light through, thicker areas stay darker.

  4. 04

    Light source

    A panel without electronics works with any light source you already have. For the base version we use a ready-made, certified USB/LED base — we don't wire our own cords or plugs.

  5. 05

    Size

    We size the panel for where it will sit — a desk, a shelf or a frame you already own.

Indicative pricing

The final price depends on the panel format and the version you choose.

  • Panel without electronics

    od 95 zł

    Just the backlit panel, for your own frame or light source.

  • Panel with a certified USB/LED base

    od 165 zł

    The panel plus a certified LED base powered from USB.

  • Framed panel (set)

    od 120 zł/szt.

    Several copies of the same crop, e.g. as gifts for the family.

Prices are indicative — we confirm the exact quote once we've seen the photo and the chosen version. We never wire our own mains electronics — the base version uses a ready-made, certified USB/LED power supply. A decorative product, 14+, not a toy.
