Professional or smartphone photos will both work! Whichever you choose, be sure to do the following:

• Lighting: Make sure there’s lots of light. Outside photos work best.
• Framing: Photos should feature the face only, leaving about 2″ on all sides of the face, so we can cut out the face.
• Sizing: For resolution, your photos should be at least 2,400 pixels wide and 2,400 pixels wide and 300 DPI.
• After you take your photo, do not place watermarks or use filters.

Please print a photo of yourself. If you don’t own the rights to the photo, we won’t print it.

Additionally, no inappropriate, graphic, or intentionally offensive images will be printed. If it wouldn’t be allowed at a high school, it won’t be allowed on your big head cutout.

Please center your head on your photo. Anything outside of your shoulders will be cropped in your photo.

We offer big head cutouts in the following standard sizes:

• Small: 18″ tall x approx. 12″ wide
• Medium: 24″ tall x approx. 18″ wide
• Large: 32″ tall x approx. 24″ wide

The total height of the cutout includes any hair, hats, helmets, or any other elements extending above or below the face. The actual face portion of the cutout may be reduced to fit within the specified height.

Individual big head cutouts are available for porch pickup in Leesburg, Virginia 7–10 business days after you place your order. If you have a team order of 5+ standard size big heads or 10+ small big heads, we can turn the order around in 3-5 business days!

Unlike other face sign printers who print on cardstock and foamcore, we print our big heads cutouts on 4mm corrugated plastic which is the same material used for standard yard signs, making them extremely weather resistant.
