Custom Diamond Painting Kit — Turn Your Photo into Diamond Art

Custom Diamond Painting from Your Photo

A custom diamond painting turns your own photo into a personalized piece of diamond art you create by hand, one diamond at a time. Upload a picture that means something to you — a pet, a family portrait, a wedding day, a place you love — and we convert it into a high-definition, colour-matched canvas made just for you. It's a relaxing, screen-free craft and a finished keepsake you'll be proud to hang. Whether you're making a personalized gift or a piece for your own wall, a custom diamond painting kit is one of the most meaningful ways to turn a memory into art.

How to Make Your Own Diamond Painting

Creating your own custom diamond painting is simple:

1. Choose your size and diamond type (square or round) above, and add the kit to your cart.
2. Send us your photo. After ordering, upload the image you'd like turned into diamond art.
3. We review it for free. Our team checks brightness, contrast, and cropping so the subject stands out clearly, and we'll let you know if a different size would give a better result.
4. We build your custom canvas. Your photo is converted into a colour-matched, full-coverage design and printed in high definition.
5. Start creating. Your kit arrives with everything you need to begin.

Which Photos Make the Best Custom Diamond Art?

The clearer your photo, the crisper your finished canvas. For the best custom diamond painting from a photo, choose an image that is:

• High resolution — sharp and clear when you zoom in, not blurry or pixelated.
• Well lit — bright, natural lighting with no heavy shadows or dark areas.
• Clear on the subject — the face, pet, or main subject stands out from the background.
• Matched to canvas shape — a portrait photo suits a portrait canvas, a landscape photo suits a landscape canvas.

Not sure if your picture will work? Email it to us before you order and we'll check it for free and recommend the best size and crop.

What Size Should I Choose?

With custom diamond painting, size matters more than most people expect — a larger canvas holds more diamonds, which means finer detail and clearer features. As a rule, going one size up makes a bigger difference than you'd think, especially for faces. As a guide:

• One face or a pet: 30x40cm or 40x50cm works well.
• Two or more people, or fine detail: 50x70cm or larger for the clearest result.
• Group photos and landscapes: choose the largest size you're comfortable with — more room means more detail.

Square or Round Diamonds?

Every custom kit is available with your choice of square or round diamonds, and both fully cover the canvas for a complete, sparkling finish. Square diamonds (square drills) fit together edge to edge with no gaps for a crisp, mosaic-like look. Round diamonds (round drills) are quicker and easier to pick up and place, making them a great choice for beginners. Both look beautiful — it comes down to the finish you prefer.

A Personalized Gift People Actually Keep

Few gifts feel as personal as a custom diamond painting made from a photo. It's a favourite for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and the holidays — and a heartfelt way to remember a pet, a loved one, or a special moment. Popular custom pieces include pet portraits, family and baby photos, wedding and anniversary keepsakes, memorial pieces, and gifts made from a favourite travel snapshot. If it means something to you, it'll make a beautiful, one-of-a-kind canvas.

What's in Every Custom Kit

Each custom diamond painting kit arrives complete: a high-definition, colour-matched adhesive canvas made from your photo, a full supply of resin diamonds in your choice of square or round, an applicator pen, grip, tray, and wax, a colour-coded symbol chart, and spare diamonds of every colour so you never run short. Just unroll, peel, and place — no extra purchases needed.
