Warmth You Can Hold: A Smart Guide to Designing Your Custom Photo Blanket

How to Choose the Right Custom Photo Blanket

A custom photo blanket turns favorite moments into everyday comfort. For a clean, timeless look, select one hero image; for a playful “scrapbook” feel, design a collage photo blanket with four to six images. Use bright, well-lit files and aim for at least 3000 px on the shortest side—the best resolution for a personalized blanket is the one that preserves detail without grain. Not sure? We include free pro enhancement and a preview before print so you know exactly how it’ll look.

Size & Fabric Tips for Picture Blankets

Pick 50×60 for solo snuggling or movie nights; choose 60×80 if you want a couch-spanning throw blanket with photo. Fleece delivers vivid color for portraits; sherpa adds plush texture that flatters landscapes and travel scenes.

Layout That Prints Beautifully

Keep faces away from edges to prevent surprise cropping. Center your focal point and let backgrounds breathe. Neutral borders or soft gradients can frame your subject without competing. A subtle caption—“First Cabin Trip, 2024”—adds story; or keep it gallery-clean.

At Sky High Gallery, we respect the full image (no-crop), provide photo blankets you preview and approve, and ship keepsakes that feel like a hug. When it arrives, it’s more than décor—it’s your people, your places, your seasons of life.
