Digital vs framed

Digital House Portrait vs Framed Print: Which Should You Choose?

Buying it as a gift? Choose the framed portrait. It arrives as the finished gesture, with no printing or framing left for the recipient. Choose digital when you specifically want the file and prefer to organise presentation yourself.

Choose framed when presentation is part of the gift

  • You want it delivered as a finished present
  • You do not want the recipient arranging printing
  • You want a clear size, delivery cost and arrival estimate before payment

Choose digital when you want control after purchase

  • You already have a preferred printer or frame
  • You want to manage the final presentation yourself
  • You specifically need the high-resolution file

The artwork decision comes first

Both formats start from the same preview-first process. Approve the sketch before deciding whether the finished framed piece or the digital file better suits what happens next.
