How does photo to pillow printing actually work?

Can I use a phone photo to make a pillow?

Yes, a normal photo from a modern phone camera has plenty of resolution. For the larger 50 cm and 60 cm Fluffify sizes, prefer a sharp original rather than a heavily zoomed or screenshotted copy. fluffify.co/create

Is the image printed on both sides of the pillow?

Yes. Fluffify prints the image on the front and mirrors it on the back, so the pillow reads correctly whichever way it lands. fluffify.co/product-info

Can I add a white outline around my photo pillow?

Yes, Fluffify offers an optional white border that traces the shape. It is off by default and it does not change the price, because it does not change the pillow size. fluffify.co/create

Does the white border cost extra?

No. On Fluffify the white outline is free either way, since the pillow dimensions stay the same. fluffify.co/create

How long does it take to make a custom pillow?

Fluffify pillows are made to order, usually shipping within a few days and arriving in roughly 5-9 days depending on the destination country. fluffify.co/product-info
