Why a photo-derived drawing lands as a gift
A gift works when it is obviously about one specific person. A single-line portrait is drawn from a photograph you chose, so the subject’s own profile, hairline, and posture survive into the drawing. Nobody else receives the same line, because nobody else started from the same picture.
The style helps here too. One continuous line is minimal enough to belong on a wall without competing with a room, yet specific enough that the recipient recognises themselves or a shared moment immediately. It reads as a drawing made for them, not a photo that was printed and handed over.
Occasions it suits
The drawing is neutral in tone, so it works across very different occasions. A couple’s photograph becomes an anniversary or wedding gift. A first photo becomes a new-baby keepsake. A favourite picture of a pet, a house, or a parent suits a birthday, a housewarming, or a memorial. The line carries the likeness either way.
Find the photograph
Use a clear, well-lit picture of the person, couple, family, or pet the gift is about — at least 500×500 pixels and under 10MB.
Generate the line
The photo is retraced as a single continuous line in about 30 to 60 seconds. The first generation on a new account is free, so you can look before ordering.
Order the gift
Take it as a small or large print shipped worldwide, or as an STL file for a recipient who owns a 3D printer.
One person, one line
A head-and-shoulders photograph gives the cleanest result, because the line follows a single profile rather than a crowded scene.
Couples and families
Two or more subjects work when they sit close together, letting one stroke travel between them — a natural fit for an anniversary or a wedding.
For a wall or a shelf
A large print becomes the centre of a room; a small print sits on a desk or a bedside table. Both use the identical drawing.
For someone with a 3D printer
The ₪10 STL file is an unusual gift in its own right: a model the recipient can print and keep, delivered as soon as payment completes.
Choosing the photograph
Pick a picture where the subject is clearly separated from what sits behind them. A simple background keeps the line about the person; a busy one adds contours that belong to neither the subject nor the gift. Good light and a reasonably straight-on angle matter far more than the camera that took the photo.
If you are choosing between several pictures, the free first generation makes the decision cheap: try the one you had in mind and look at the line it becomes before ordering anything. The gallery shows drawings made from real customer photographs, which is a useful way to judge what different sources produce.
Print or file
A physical print ships worldwide — ₪49 for a small print, ₪89 for a large one. A digital STL file costs ₪10 and downloads immediately, ready for a 3D printer. Prints can be returned within 14 days if they arrive damaged or defective; the STL file is non-refundable once downloaded. Shipping is ₪30, and free on orders over ₪200.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a single-line drawing feel more personal than a photo print?
Because it is made from one specific photograph you choose, and the line keeps the subject’s own profile, hairline, and posture. It reads as a considered drawing of that person rather than a reproduced snapshot.
What occasions does this suit?
Anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, new babies, housewarmings, and memorials all work. The single line is neutral enough for a wall and specific enough to be about one person or couple.
Can I gift the STL file to someone with a 3D printer?
Yes. The digital STL file (₪10) can be given to anyone who has a 3D printer, and it downloads immediately — useful when you want to hand over something the recipient can make themselves.
How long does it take to make?
Most drawings generate in 30 to 60 seconds. The first generation on a new account is free, so you can look at the result before ordering.
How much is a printed gift?
A small print is ₪49 and a large print is ₪89. Shipping is ₪30 and free on orders over ₪200. Checkout is charged in Israeli shekels (ILS); other currencies shown are estimates.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Physical prints ship worldwide, and digital STL files are downloadable as soon as payment completes.
What if a print arrives damaged?
Prints can be returned within 14 days if they arrive damaged or defective. Digital STL files are non-refundable once downloaded.
