Elsewhere in India, studios that embroider portraits from photos list outline family portraits from about ₹3,500 and fully filled portraits from about ₹5,000, so expect to see that range when you compare.

What a thread portrait looks like

Embroidery is not a print. A photograph holds millions of tones; thread holds a handful of colours and has real thickness. A good portrait is therefore redrawn, not copied: the face is simplified into confident lines, a few planes of shadow and the details that make the person recognisable, such as the hairline, the glasses, the smile.

We work in a clean line-art style because it ages well and reads clearly from across a room. We will not promise a photo-realistic face, and you should be cautious of anyone who does at a low price. What you receive is a portrait with the character of a drawing and the texture of thread, which is exactly why it feels like a keepsake rather than a photo frame.

Why a portrait costs more than a name

• Drawing time. A name is set in a typeface. A portrait is first redrawn as clean line art from your photo, before a single stitch is planned.
• Stitch planning. Every line needs a direction, a length and an order so the face stays smooth and the fabric stays flat.
• Size. A larger frame carries more detail and many more stitches, which is why the price rises with the frame size.
• Number of people. One face is simpler than a family of five. For a group, send us the photo and we will tell you which size can hold it.
• Framing. The piece is mounted and framed, ready to hang.

How to choose the right photo

• Pick a clear, well-lit photo where the face is large in the frame.
• Front-facing or a gentle three-quarter angle works best.
• Avoid heavy filters, strong shadows across the face, and tiny faces cropped from group shots.
• A plain background helps. The background is left out of the portrait.
• For pets, choose a photo at their eye level with the ears and markings visible.

How ordering works

1. Upload your photo and choose the size on the Photo to Embroidery Portrait Frame page, or send it through the WhatsApp button on this site.
2. We tell you honestly whether the photo will work and which size suits it.
3. Once you confirm, the portrait is drawn, embroidered and framed to order.

Because every portrait is made for one person, it cannot be returned, so we would rather ask for a better photo at the start than stitch a weak one.

Questions people ask

How much does a photo embroidery portrait cost in India?

Most framed portraits fall between ₹3,000 and ₹8,000. Ours are ₹1,699, ₹2,199 and ₹2,499 by frame size.

Can a face really be embroidered from a photo?

Yes, as a stylised line portrait. It will look like the person, drawn in thread. It will not look like a printed photograph.

How many people can be in one portrait?

One or two people suit the smaller frame. Families are better in the 10 × 12 or 12 × 18 inch sizes so each face keeps enough detail.

Is it hand embroidery?

No, and we never describe it that way. Each portrait is redrawn as line art from your photo and then stitched in our studio for clean, even, durable thread work.

Is it a good gift for an anniversary or a memorial?

It is one of the most personal gifts you can give, because it cannot be bought off a shelf. See more ideas in our guide to custom embroidered gifts and our piece on personalised embroidered frames.
