FAQs
How do I create my vinyl record?
First, choose your vinyl size, 7" or 12", depending on how much audio you want to include. Then select your style, whether classic black, a solid color of your choosing, or our full-color picture disc, which is our #1 best seller.
Second, add your audio files.
Third, add your artwork. This can be as simple as uploading a photo from your phone or any custom artwork you've created.
How many songs can I add?
You can include up to 14 minutes of audio on a 7” record (7 minutes per side) and up to 40 minutes on a 12” (20 minutes per side). As you add songs, our Record Builder will show you how much time you have left on each side.
Can I use songs from places like Spotify or Apple Music?
You can upload any songs you’ve purchased from places like the iTunes Store, Amazon, and others — as well as any audio files you already have, such as voice recordings, vows, and toasts.
Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music don't let you actually purchase and own songs, so most users use the iTunes Store or Amazon instead.
If you’re on a mobile device, the easiest thing to do is purchase and download songs from Amazon.com, watch this video to see how. (Note that songs downloaded from the iTunes Store can’t be uploaded directly from your phone because of Apple’s iOS permissions. For those iTunes Store tracks, you’ll just need to switch to a computer to download your files and then complete your uploads, see below.)
If you’re on a computer, you have more options because you can use audio files downloaded from pretty much any service, plus files saved elsewhere — like Google Drive, Dropbox, or your desktop — just upload the files from wherever they're saved right into your record. It’s quick and easy, watch this video to see how.
We can accept WAV, WMV, AAC, MP3, and M4A file formats.
By uploading your audio, you’re agreeing to our Terms of Service.
Can I upload my own artwork or photos?
Definitely! Upload any image that represents your story — a favorite photo, album cover design, or even a handwritten note. Our upload tool supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, PDF, and HEIC files.
What artwork dimensions and formats will look best?
We print in super high-quality 300DPI. If it looks good on your device, it should look good printed. We'll reach out to you if we think there's a problem with your art.
When you upload your art in our Record Builder, you'll have the opportunity to crop it for a perfect fit. And, if you want to ensure the highest quality and most accurate reproduction, submit your art with these square dimensions:
- 12" Record Cover width and height: 3675 pixels or 12.25 inches
- 12" Picture Disc image/photo/art width and height: 3540 pixels or 11.8 inches
- 12" and 7" Inner Label width and height: 990 pixels or 3.3 inches
- 7" Record Cover width and height: 2185 pixels or 7.3 inches
- Keep in mind that inner labels and picture disc images are circular, so the corners of your square images will be cut off. You can see what it looks like framed in the Record Builder.
We accept images and photos in JPG/JPEG, PNG, PDF, and HEIC file formats.
How is the sound quality and playability?
These are genuine records that play beautifully. Each is hand-cut, not factory-pressed, which gives it an authentic, warm vinyl sound. You may hear the classic pops and crackles that make vinyl feel nostalgic and timeless. The volume is about 2.6dB quieter than a pressed record and, unless you’re an audiophile that knows exactly what 2.6dB sounds like, it's very unlikely you'll hear any difference.
Do I need a record player to enjoy it?
Not at all. Many customers buy them as beautiful display pieces. And, if you do have a turntable, it makes the experience even more special.
How long does it take?
We hand-make these one-by-one, so standard turnaround is 10–14 business days. Need it sooner? Rush processing is available after you check out.
What if I need to make changes or if something isn't perfect?
We put your record into production usually within a few hours of your order submittal, so it may or may not be possible to make changes.
There's no risk with us because we guarantee every record. If yours isn’t flawless, you can either get a refund or we'll make you another for free.
Your Story Deserves More Than A Generic Gift
Everyone has their story... the moments, the laughter, the songs that made it theirs.
Now you can have those memories on vinyl. It's made by hand, crafted with care, and ready to last a lifetime.
