Considering a custom photo desk mat or mouse pad? Use this quick buyer guide to choose the right size, prep your image, and get a durable, color-true print.
Choose the right size
Measure your usable desk width and leave 1–2 in of clearance. Extended desk mats cover keyboard + mouse for typing and gaming; standard mouse pads fit compact setups. If you use low-DPI mouse settings, a larger surface delivers smoother tracking.
Prep your photo for print
Upload the highest-resolution image available. Aim ≥3000 px on the long edge for desk mats (≥2400 px for mouse pads). Keep faces and text 0.25–0.5 in inside the edge—bleed is trimmed. We include free pro editing, gentle cleanup, color balancing, and our no-crop promise so your whole moment fits.
Materials & finish
Smooth fabric top for accurate control, anti-slip rubber base to stay put, and stitched edges that resist fray and lay flat.
Care, delivery, gifting
Spot clean with mild soap; air-dry flat. Every order includes a preview before we print and our Delivery Guarantee. Great for office upgrades, gamer desks, wedding gifts, pet portraits, and branded team gifts. Explore sizes and mockups on our Custom Photo Desk Mat page. Need momentum at your workspace?
