Diamond Painting FAQ

Diamond Painting FAQ

Custom photo orders

Do I have to upload a photo before checkout?

Yes. For the custom photo diamond painting product, the image upload is required before the item can be added to cart. This protects your order and helps our production team match the correct image to the correct size and drill style.

Which image formats can I upload?

You can upload common mobile and desktop image formats including JPG, JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF. For best results, use the original file rather than a compressed social media screenshot.

What photo works best?

Sharp, bright, high-resolution photos work best. Faces, pets, wedding photos and detailed scenes should usually be ordered at 45cm or larger so the finished diamond painting keeps more detail.

Can you automatically choose a size for my image?

The product page reads the uploaded image ratio and recommends a matching canvas size. You can still change the size manually if you prefer a larger finished artwork.

Drills and canvas choices

What is the difference between round and square drills?

Round drills are easier and faster for beginners. Square drills create a tighter mosaic look with fuller coverage and sharper detail.

What are AB drills?

AB drills have an Aurora Borealis coating that reflects extra color and sparkle. They are best for highlights, gifts, portraits and decorative designs.

What are Fairy Dust drills?

Fairy Dust drills have a softer shimmer finish. They create a polished sparkle without overpowering the image.

Which drill option should I choose?

For beginners, choose round drills. For more detail, choose square drills. For a premium gift effect, choose AB + Fairy Dust.

Production, shipping and returns

How long does production take?

Custom diamond painting kits are made to order after the image is uploaded. Processing and delivery times can vary by destination and season. See our shipping policy for current details.

Can I cancel a custom order?

Please contact us as soon as possible. Because custom kits are personalized, cancellation is easiest before production begins.

Can custom products be returned?

Personalized custom products are made from your uploaded image, so returns are limited. If there is a production or quality issue, contact us with photos and your order number so we can help.
