Love
- Knowing someone by the sound of their keys in the lock.
- The last square of chocolate, handed over without a word.
- What makes photos where nobody remembered to smile look wonderful.

The preview is what gets printed. Add your photos: they take their place in the layout, in the order you arrange them. The title, signature and date can be changed.
A dictionary entry for love — noun, three meanings — and one to six of your photos underneath, with a signature and a small line. Four papers, in colour or black and white. Printed to order in Aveyron, A4 to 70 × 100 cm, or as a printable file.
First the object — medium, size, frame — then its content, which you watch take shape in the preview.
Ready to give: printed in our Estaing workshop and shipped within 48 h, with an optional frame on A4 and 30 × 40.
For a last-minute gift: the print file, €8.90, arrives by link the same day — PDF and PNG at 300 dpi, all five sizes.

Which photos to choose? Eight ideas
- Clear, sharp photos taken in daylight.
- Vary the shots: close-up faces, a landscape, a detail (a hand, an object).
- Most cells are square: a square or nearly square photo is cut without losing anything, a very long one loses its sides.
- Keep faces in the middle of the picture: a cropped photo keeps the top of a face, not the edge.
- Put them in the order of your story: the first takes the first place, the last the last.
- Mix eras freely: black and white brings together photos that have nothing in common.
- A few good photos beat many blurry ones: a small photo may look soft on a large format.
- A screenshot keeps its black or grey bars: crop it before adding it.

Full description
A dictionary for two people: “Love, noun”, three definitions you will not find in any dictionary — keys in the lock, the last square of chocolate, the photos where nobody is smiling — and one to six of your photos underneath. A declaration that makes you smile before it touches you.
The definition is written by us: the word, its pronunciation, “noun” and three meanings. You upload one to six photos, which are laid out underneath, you sign with your two names, and you add a small line (a date, a place). Four papers, in colour or in black and white. What you see is exactly what is printed; your photos are only used to make the poster and are deleted thirty days after dispatch.
- 250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order.
- Five sizes: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm.
- Optional wooden frame on A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural.
- Or the printable file: all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG, by download link.

How it works
- You add your photos
All at once, from your phone or your computer. They take their place in the layout, in the order you arrange them; you can remove them, move them forward or back. While some are missing, the preview says so.
- You write what goes around them
A title, a signature, a small line (a date, a place). Four styles, in colour or in black and white. The preview is exactly what gets printed.
- We print in Aveyron
To order, on 250 g matte paper: in our Aveyron workshop, whatever the size, and every poster is checked there before it ships. Or you receive the download link for the file by e-mail.

Frequently asked questions
What does the poster show?
A dictionary entry for love — the word, its pronunciation, “noun” and three meanings — and one to six of your photos underneath. You sign with your two names and add a small line. Four paper styles, and photos in colour or in black and white.
How many photos do I need?
One to six, as you like. A single photo takes all the room; with two, three, four, five or six, the mosaic re-cuts itself. You arrange the photos in the order you want.
Which photos should I choose so that faces can be seen?
Clear photos with faces in the middle: a photo that fills a cell is cut to its shape, a little above the centre. A cell is most often square; a square or nearly square photo is cut without losing anything, a very long one loses its sides. Mix wide shots and close-ups, and put them in the order of your story.
Can the definition be changed?
No: the text is written by us, in the language of the site, and that is what makes it a gift ready to give. You personalise the photos, the signature, the small line and the style. To say love another way, there is the heart of photos, the polaroids or the travel postcards.
Can all the photos be in black and white?
Yes, it is a choice: black and white applies to all the photos at once, and the preview shows it straight away. It brings together photos taken at different times or with different cameras.
Which size should I choose, and can I see the poster before ordering?
A4 is enough for a few photos; beyond a dozen, a 30 × 40 or larger lets each one be read. A4 and 30 × 40 are also available framed. The preview follows every photo you add and every keystroke, and it is exactly what gets printed: the photos, their order, the texts, the style.
What happens to the photo I upload?
It is only used to make your poster. It stays private, is never published or used as an example, and is deleted thirty days after the order is dispatched (or after purchase, for the print-ready file).
