Help and FAQs

How does it work?

Upload a photo, or start from scratch. Our designer matches the hair, glasses, beard and clothes, and you can change anything. Choose an animal, a size and an optional message, then pick full colour, single colour or a design file to print yourself.

Do you keep my photo?

No. Your photo is read once by an AI service to pick out styling, and it's never saved by us or used to train AI. How we use photos.

Can I make one of someone else?

Yes, as long as they're happy for you to use their photo. Please don't use photos of celebrities or of anyone who hasn't agreed.

Why was my photo rejected?

It needs to be a real photo of one person, facing the camera. Drawings, screenshots, photos of screens or posters, AI images, pets and group photos can't be used. You can always design by hand instead.

How big are they?

From 25 mm to 120 mm tall, in 5 mm steps. 60 to 70 mm suits a desk. Our ready-made designs come in 50, 70 and 90 mm.

What are minis?

Likelings under 35 mm. They come in sets of five or more, and every one can be a different person: ideal for a whole team.

Full colour or single colour?

Full colour is printed in every colour of your design and finished by hand. Single colour is printed in one colour you choose, for a clean, modern look.

What's a print-it-yourself file?

A download of your own design for your 3D printer: ready-to-print projects for Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer, plus a standard 3MF and an STL for Cura, OrcaSlicer and most other slicers. One price for any size, for personal use. It's available for designs you make yourself; our ready-made characters are printed by us only.

How long does delivery take?

Every Likeling is printed to order. Your delivery date is shown in the basket before you pay. See delivery.

Can I return it?

Personalised Likelings are made just for you, so they can't be returned for a change of mind. If anything is wrong, we'll always put it right. See returns.

Is it a toy?

No. Likelings are collectibles for ages 14 and over. They have small parts and aren't for the bath. See product safety.

Do I get a VAT invoice?

Yes. Your order confirmation is a full VAT invoice, and there's a printable copy on your order page.
