Why Design a Custom Photo Blanket?

Blankets bring warmth. Photos bring emotion. Put them together, and you get something that feels like home.

Personalized photo blankets are more than gifts. They’re little reminders of the people and moments that matter most. They make birthdays sweeter, holidays more meaningful, and everyday snuggles extra special.

And the best part? You can design one from your phone, tablet, or couch—no design skills needed.

Step-by-Step: Design Your Custom Blanket Online

Step 1 – Pick the Perfect Blanket Size & Material

Every design starts with comfort. You can pick from multiple sizes, ranging from 25x20 inches to 60x80 inches, so there’s something for everyone—whether it’s a lap throw or a full-sized cozy layer. Then, select the material that feels right to you.

Fleece is soft and lightweight for everyday use, sherpa adds plush warmth with its fluffy texture, and woven cotton gives a classic, timeless touch. No matter what you choose, you’ll have a custom made blanket that matches your style and comfort.

Step 2 – Upload Your Photos or Explore Our Gallery

This is where the fun begins. Upload your favorite images directly from your phone, tablet, or social media accounts. Many people love using family portraits, vacation snaps, or pet pictures to create custom picture blankets that tell a story.

Don’t have the right photos on hand? No worries—you can browse through our preloaded gallery filled with beautiful themes and backgrounds to make your customized blanket stand out.

Step 3 – Select a Layout for Your Story

One photo is powerful. A few photos can tell a whole story.

Our design tool gives you flexible layout options. Want to feature a single moment? Choose a full-blanket photo layout that makes your image the star. Want to highlight multiple memories? Try a collage with space for three, four, or more pictures.

Each layout is made to fit the size you choose, so you won’t need to worry about alignment or spacing. Just drop your photos into the spots that feel right. Our easy drag-and-drop design tool makes it simple to create blankets personalized to your vision.

Every customizable blanket is unique, and the layout you choose sets the tone. Keep it simple. Get creative. Make it yours.

Step 4 – Add Text or Quotes for a Personal Touch

A photo says a lot. A few words can say even more.

Add names, dates, quotes, or inside jokes to give your blanket extra meaning. You can choose from different fonts, sizes, and colors to match your style. Want something playful? Go bold and bright. Looking for something calm and classic? Keep it soft and subtle.

You decide where the text goes. Add it across the bottom, tuck it in a corner, or center it right on the image. With different fonts, colors, and placements to choose from, you can customize a blanket in a way that perfectly fits your story. It’s these details that transform it into a personalized photo blanket you’ll treasure.

That’s the beauty of a personalized blanket with pictures. You get to shape the message—one that speaks to you or someone you love.

Step 5 – Preview, Save & Order

Once your design feels complete, take a moment to preview it.

You’ll see exactly how your blanket will look when it’s printed. Check for photo placement, text alignment, and colors. If something feels off, you can go back and make changes right away. The tool saves your edits as you go, so nothing is ever lost.

When everything looks perfect, just click save and head to checkout. Your order is processed quickly, and your custom blanket with photos will be on its way to your door before you know it.

Gift Ideas: Who Will Love a Personalized Blanket?

Some gifts are thoughtful. Others are useful. A custom blanket is both.

Think about the people in your life. Grandparents who light up at every photo of the grandkids. Parents who want to hold onto family moments a little longer. Friends who live far away but are always close at heart. Or a custom pet blanket for your furry!

These are the moments blankets personalized are made for.

You can design one for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or just because. Wrap it with a memory, a message, or a favorite photo. Every time they reach for it, they’ll be reminded of you.

And if you're designing one for yourself? That counts too.

Not Just Photos: Other Ways to Customize Your Blanket

Photos are powerful, but they’re just the beginning.

You can turn words into warmth. Add a favorite quote, a handwritten letter, or a list of things you love. Use song lyrics, wedding vows, or verses that lift your spirit. Some people create family trees. Others choose a simple name in bold, beautiful letters.

You can even pick a background color that sets the mood—something calming, playful, or elegant.

With custom printed blankets, your design doesn’t need to follow any rules. It just needs to feel right to you.
