Image guidelines
Your photo should be in .JPG format. The following guidelines will ensure that you are happy with the resulting iPod Art (iPopArt) image that our designers create.

Image dimensions to be no smaller than 640x480
The best samples on our sample page have image dimensions of AT LEAST this amount, any smaller and you may not be happy with the image quality. We maintain the same size and DPI as your original image - a small original will result in a small iPopified image. So please use a large file at the outset, and your image will be a good size for enlargements, posters, etc.

How to find out the image dimensions
For a PC user, when you find the image you want to use in a documents folder, place your cursor over the image and a small popup will appear and tell you the image dimensions. For Mac users, come on, you know this stuff already, you creative genius, you.

For posters / canvas prints
We recommend that for posters / canvas prints of your custom iPod ad, you use an image 1600 x 1200 or larger. Pictures that fall below the resolution guidelines may look okay when viewed online, but will appear blurry and pixellated - that is, the image will appear in blocks, with jagged rather than straight edges - when enlarged and printed.

What types of photos work best for iPod ads?
Action photos look the best. Any type of arm, leg or head motion allows for a more exciting iPopified photo. For best results, the background should be as plain as possible. Please try to limit the number of people in your photo - they tend to look best with 1 or 2 people, we will accommodate more than 2 but it may take longer to deliver. The best images show action, headshots are cool too, but don't make the best iPopifications. (Max 5 people)

How long do the custom iPod pictures take to get back to me?
We will return the iPopified .JPG file to you via email within 10 days. We're sorry, but at this point, we are not able to offer any expedited delivery. Please contact us for delivery times on any print work you require.

What can I do with the picture once I get it?
It's your photo, so you can do whatever you want with it. Contact us for further information about our printing services. We have had customers use their custom iPod style pictures for party themes, canvas prints, birthday cards, screensavers, myspace or even for the workplace photo and intranet.

Are you at all affiliated with Apple and the iPod?
We love Apple, and we love iPods but beyond that, there are no ties between the iPopGroup / iPopArt and Apple.

Can I put any text I want on my iPod photo?
Yes, we will create the photo with whatever you want the caption to be. For legibility, we have a limit on character length set to 40.

Why would I pay you £12.75 when I can do this myself?
Go for it. We have artists doing this by hand. The results are astounding. If you want to do this yourself - by all means do, we are not stopping you. But ask yourself, if you are going to iPopify a special photo, don't you want it to come out awesome? If we do it, it will - check out our samples and our customer feedback.
