Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Blocs

A personalised photo block (or Photo Bloc) is a solid, premium-quality block with your chosen photo printed directly onto the surface using high-definition UV printing. Unlike traditional frames, photo blocs are freestanding and can sit on any flat surface, making them a modern and stylish way to display your favourite memories at home or in the office.

Creating your custom photo block is easy! Simply choose your preferred bloc shape and size from our products page, then use our online designer tool to upload your photo and position it exactly how you want. You can zoom, rotate, and adjust your image until it looks perfect, then place your order. No design skills needed.

We accept JPG, JPEG, and PNG image formats. For the best print quality, we recommend using a high-resolution photo (at least 300 DPI at the print size). Our designer tool will alert you if your image resolution may result in reduced quality. Photos from modern smartphones typically work perfectly.

Our blocs come in a wide range of sizes, from 5×5cm up to 16×12cm. We offer square, landscape, and panoramic formats, each available in multiple premium edgeband finishes. Visit individual product pages for full size details and pricing.

Our blocs are available in Black, Oak, Walnut, White, Pewter, and Silver edgeband finishes. The colour refers to the premium edgeband that frames your photo. Check each product page for available colour options and pricing.

Standard UK delivery takes 3-5 working days and costs £3.99 (free on orders over £50). Express delivery is available for 1-2 working days at £7.99. All orders are carefully packaged to ensure your bloc arrives in perfect condition. Visit our shipping page for full details.

We currently ship throughout the United Kingdom. For international orders, please contact us at sales@photoblocs.co.uk and we will do our best to help.

Because each Photo Bloc is custom-made with your personal photo, we are unable to accept returns for change of mind. However, if your bloc arrives damaged or there is a problem with the print quality, please contact us within 14 days at sales@photoblocs.co.uk and we will arrange a replacement or full refund.

Absolutely! You can design as many different blocs as you like and add them all to your basket. Each bloc is individually designed, so you can choose different sizes, colours, and photos for each one. This makes it easy to create a stunning photo wall or order gifts for several people at once.

Photo Blocs make wonderful personalised gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and any special occasion. They are a unique, thoughtful gift that shows you’ve put real thought into creating something personal and meaningful. They also work beautifully as baby photo blocks, pet photo keepsakes, and memorial gifts.

Photo Blocs are durable and easy to care for. Simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid placing in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading over time. Do not submerge in water or use chemical cleaning agents. With proper care, your bloc will look beautiful for years.
