What images work best?
Clear subjects, strong contrast, readable silhouettes, and good lighting convert best. Busy scenes can still work, but a larger size or cropped subject usually preserves more detail.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED WITHOUT THE SIDE QUEST
Everything you need before turning a favourite image into a custom GlitchRiot piece.
Try a free preview →Is the preview the exact final piece?
It is a close artistic preview using the current digital palette. Before payment, a human checks stocked colours, structure, and detail and sends the exact approved version.
How big can it be?
Standard builds range from 8 to 87 beads per side. At 5 mm per bead, the maximum design area is approximately 43.5 × 43.5 cm across a 3 × 3 arrangement of 29 × 29 pegboards.
Why is the first price an estimate?
Real cost depends on exact bead count, colours, complexity, labour, finishing, packaging, and available inventory. You see the final CAD quote and approved preview before paying.
Can you remove my background?
Yes. The studio removes simple edge-connected backgrounds, and a human can refine the result during review. Transparent areas become empty positions—not filler beads.
Do I own the image I upload?
You must have permission to use submitted images. Uploading does not transfer your ownership to GlitchRiot. Full legal terms remain subject to owner review before public launch.
