Wanted Poster FAQ

You pick a template, upload a photo, then type a name, a crime and a reward. A sepia halftone effect is applied to your photo automatically, and the live preview updates as you type. When it looks right, you pay $4.95 and download a print-ready high-resolution file in seconds. No design skills, no software to install.

The digital download is $4.95 for a print-ready 300 DPI file you can print yourself. If you want us to print and ship it on museum-grade cotton, an A4 print is $19, A3 is $29 and A2 is $39. There is no subscription and no hidden fee: you pay once, per poster.

None at all. Everything happens in your browser. If you can upload a photo and type three short lines, you can make a finished poster. The layout, fonts, paper texture and photo effect are all handled for you.

No account is required to buy. You can optionally create one at checkout so you can re-download your posters for free, forever. Your purchase is tied to the email you use at checkout.

The digital download ($4.95) is a file you print yourself: instant, cheapest, and ideal if you already have a printer or a frame. A printed poster (A4 $19, A3 $29, A2 $39) is produced by us on museum-grade cotton paper and shipped to your door, so it arrives ready to hang with no printing on your end.

A high-resolution 300 DPI file, delivered as both PDF and PNG, sized for standard frames. 300 DPI is true print quality, so it stays crisp even at full size. You can re-download it any time.

Yes. Because the file is 300 DPI and sized for common frames, it prints cleanly on a home printer, at a copy shop, or through any online print service. For the sharpest result, print on a slightly heavier matte paper.

Three standard sizes: A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) at $19, A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) at $29, and A2 (42 x 59.4 cm) at $39. A4 suits a desk or shelf, A3 is the popular wall size, and A2 is the statement piece.

Every printed poster is produced on museum-grade cotton paper with a natural matte finish. It has real weight and texture, closer to a gallery print than a thin photo poster, which suits the aged old-west look perfectly.

Printed posters are made to order and shipped to your address, with shipping calculated at checkout based on your destination. Because each print is produced on demand, we do not promise an exact delivery date, but you get tracking once it ships. Need it fast? The digital download is instant.

The digital download is instant: the file is ready the moment your payment clears. Printed posters take longer because each one is made to order and then shipped, so choose digital if you are up against a deadline.

Almost any clear photo works. A well-lit shot with the face roughly centered gives the best result, since the sepia halftone effect leans into contrast. Higher-resolution photos print sharper, so avoid very small or heavily cropped images if you plan to print large.

You can upload any photo you have the right to use. We process your image only to generate your poster and do not claim ownership of your uploads. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

The file you download is the exact poster you created, and you can re-download that version for free at any time. If you want to change the name, crime, reward or photo, just reopen it in the customizer and make your edits: a brand-new version is a fresh $4.95 download.

Yes. Your purchased file stays available to re-download for free, so if you lose it or need another copy to print, you can grab it again without paying twice.

Very closely. What you build in the live preview is what gets printed. Screens are backlit, so colors can look a touch brighter on a monitor than on matte cotton paper, but the sepia and halftone tones are chosen to print true to the old-west look.

It is one of the most-shared personalized gifts around. It is funny, it is entirely about the person receiving it, and it actually gets framed and kept. A printed A3 or A2 on cotton paper makes it feel like a real present rather than a throwaway joke.

Birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor and bachelorette parties, retirements, going-away gifts, Father's Day, game nights, office roasts, kids' parties and housewarmings. Basically any moment where roasting someone you love is a love language.

Yes. The Partners in Crime collection has a two-up layout for couples and best friends, plus a crew version with room for a whole group. Two portraits, a shared list of crimes and one combined reward.

They can be. The Sheriff's Office collection uses a friendly star badge and a REWARD banner instead of a rap sheet, which is perfect for kids' birthdays, classroom rewards and gentle grandpa roasts. The wording is always yours, so you control the tone.

Yes, and it works out cheaper per poster. There is a digital 3-pack bundle at $11.95, and ordering several posters together lowers the price on each additional one. Handy for a whole friend group, a wedding party or a batch of gifts.

Your purchase includes a personal, non-commercial licence: print it as many times as you like and give it as a gift. You may not resell the file, use it for commercial promotion, or upload it to print-on-demand marketplaces. The templates, fonts styling and site design remain ours.

Because each poster is personalized and delivered instantly as a digital file, sales are final once the file has been generated, where permitted by law. That said, if your file is corrupted, will not download, or is materially different from what you created, email hello@wanted-poster.com and we will fix it or refund you.

Email hello@wanted-poster.com and a real person will help. Whether it is a download problem, a print question or a tweak to your poster, we would rather fix it than leave you stuck.
