The basics
What is Frame Your Catch?
Upload a photo of a fish you caught and we turn it into a true-to-life piece of art — faithful to that fish's real markings, colors, and fins. Keep it as a digital file or order it as a print, framed and ready to hang.
How does it work?
Three steps: upload your photo, pick an art style, then choose a digital download or a print. We render the art, you preview exactly how it'll look, and you check out. Digital files are ready immediately; prints are made to order and shipped to you.
Will it actually look like my fish?
That's the whole point. We work from your photo to preserve the unique markings, coloration, and proportions of the fish you caught — we clean up and straighten the shot, not redraw a generic fish. The clearer your photo, the more faithful the result.
What makes a good photo?
A clear, well-lit shot of the whole fish from the side, in focus, with the fish filling most of the frame. Avoid heavy shadows, motion blur, or angles that hide the body. A photo on a measuring board or held flat works great.
Products & sizing
What can I order?
A high-resolution digital download you can print anywhere, or one of our physical prints: a rolled print on premium poster paper, a framed print (black, wood, or white frame, ready to hang), or a large-format poster for big catches.
What does “true to life” sizing mean?
We print your fish at its real length, so the art matches the size of the actual catch. Tell us the length and we pick the print size that shows it life-size. Prefer a fixed frame size instead? Choose a standard size and we fit the art to it.
My fish is huge — can you still print it true to life?
Yes. For a catch larger than a single print, we automatically split it across a three-panel print that hangs side by side as one piece, so the whole fish still shows at real size. For a true trophy beyond even that, we offer a custom large-format print finished by hand — you pay a deposit and we quote the balance.
Pricing & shipping
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the art style and what you order (digital, rolled, framed, or poster, and the size). You'll always see the exact price before you pay — no surprises. Shipping is added separately at checkout (see below).
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is itemized separately at checkout at our printer's actual cost — we don't mark it up. You choose Standard or Express, each shown with a delivery-day estimate for your address, and the total updates with your choice. Digital downloads have no shipping.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet — we currently ship within the United States only, with prices in USD. We're working on opening up international shipping, so check back soon.
How long does it take?
Digital files are ready to download right after checkout. Physical prints are made to order and typically ship within a few business days; you'll see a delivery estimate for your chosen shipping speed at checkout, and we email you when your order ships.
Orders & files
Can I add a caption?
Yes — you can add an optional caption (for example the species, size, and where you caught it) that prints beneath the fish, plaque-style. It's shown in the preview before you buy.
Can I re-download my file later?
Yes. Your order confirmation email contains a link that lets you re-download your high-resolution file any time — bookmark it.
What about my photo and privacy?
Your photo is used only to create your artwork. We don't sell it or share it. If you have a question about your order or your data, just reply to your order email.
