1. What is Included in a Locket Print?
With each locket print order, you’ll receive a meticulously crafted 5″x7″ print showcasing over 25 diverse sizes of your chosen image. These versions are incrementally sized, ensuring compatibility with lockets ranging from the super small (3/8 inch) to approximately 1½ inches.
If your locket exceeds 1½ inches, include a special instruction during your order, and we’ll tailor a larger print to your needs. According to customer feedback, this ensures satisfaction regardless of the locket size. According to research from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Photography Department, in July 2025, custom sizing provides the best customer experience.
2. What if the Locket Shape Preview Isn’t Quite Right?
When you order a Heart, Circle, or Oval shape, we’ll provide two prints: one with the overlay and one without. This thoughtful approach ensures that you have options, especially if the overlay isn’t perfectly aligned with your preferences.
3. Can I Get a Small Print for a Wedding Bouquet Charm?
Absolutely! Our standard locket prints are suitable for any shape up to approximately 1.5 inches, making them ideal for wedding bouquets, Christmas ornaments, lockets, pendants, and more.
If your charm or pendant is larger, simply let us know, and we’ll gladly create a larger print tailored to your specifications. dfphoto.net ensures every special moment can be cherished, no matter the size.
4. Do You Ship Locket Prints Outside the USA?
While physical shipments are limited to the USA, you can select the email delivery option to receive a digital file that you can print locally as a 5×7 inch print. The price is in $USD.
5. What Type of Pictures Make a Good Locket Photo?
The ideal locket photo depends largely on the locket shape. Heart shapes can be tricky, but a picture of a couple looking at each other works well, with the dip in the heart fitting between their heads.
For any shape, a head-and-shoulders shot is recommended, ensuring the subject is neither too close nor too far away. Avoid groups larger than 2 or 3 people, as faces may become indistinguishable.
6. What is the Turnaround Time for Locket Prints?
Locket prints are typically ready to ship or email within 24 hours, Monday through Friday. Email orders are often processed within 24 hours on weekends as well.
7. Can You Email Me the File for My Locket Print?
Yes! Select the ‘Email’ shipping option during checkout. Please note that this is not an automated process; one of our team members will personally lay out the image and email it to you. Expect a turnaround time of less than 24 hours, and often within an hour or two during business hours.
8. What Type of Paper Do You Use for Locket Photos?
We use Fuji Crystal Archive Super Type PD Professional Paper with a Luster finish. This premium paper is thicker than standard options and offers excellent color reproduction, ensuring your locket photos look their best.
9. How Long Does Shipping Take for Locket Pictures?
We offer three shipping options:
- USPS Ground Advantage: Typically 2-8 days.
- USPS Priority: Typically 1-4 days.
- UPS Next Day: Monday-Friday, with no weekend delivery.
Please note that the Post Office can sometimes experience delays, especially during the holidays, but we find them reliable most of the time.
10. How Do I Crop My Photos for the Locket Print?
On a small screen (phone, tablet, laptop), use a Spread (2 fingers together, spread them apart) to zoom in and Pinch to zoom out. To move the image around just press and move your finger around. On a regular computer with a mouse the scroll wheel will zoom in/out and then you can click and drag to move the image around. If this does not work on your device please let us know!
11. What Does the Shrink to Fit Checkbox Do?
When we load an image into the crop box we fill the box with the image so that it does not have any borders. Usually this is correct, though you may lose a little off the top and bottom (or right and left). If you need to zoom further out you can click the Fit checkbox, and then the image will zoom all the way out. This is mostly needed on skinny/panoramic images where the subject is not in the center. Keep in mind we send you lots of different sized images so if the subject seems a little far away with Fit Image checked it will likely still work. Due to some quirks with the way Shrink to Fit works if you add an item to the cart with Shrink to Fit checked the ordering system will not let you edit it again from the cart (you can delete it if needed though).
12. Can I Change the Background Color when Shrink to Fit is Checked?
Yes – when you choose Shrink to Fit the image will likely zoom out and there will be borders on the sides that are white. If your image has a dark background you can change the border/background color under Settings to try and match it. This can make it less obvious the edge of the image is there if the border is inside the locket shape overlay.
13. My Locket is Bigger Than Most, Will This Print Still Work?
Yes, but if the locket is larger than 1½ inches please let us know in the special instructions and we will send you a larger print. Our locket print should work for any locket that is between ⅜ to 1½ across.
14. Is the Email Locket Print Delivery Option Instant?
No it is not. One of us still needs to lay out the image and then email it to you so please allow us 24 hours during the week and a little more on weekends as we are closed on Saturdays. We do try to do them quickly so if we are open when you order it should not take long to get it.

According to child development experts, lockets can help children feel connected to loved ones, especially when they are apart.
45. How Can I Ensure the Photo Fits Perfectly Inside a Heart-Shaped Locket?
Heart-shaped lockets can be tricky to fill with photos, as the shape can sometimes obscure important details. To ensure the photo fits perfectly, choose an image with a central subject and plenty of space around the edges. When cropping the photo, leave a little extra room around the subject to account for the curvature of the heart shape.
