Crop, Extend and Add Text Service

About this service

• Can you change a photo's shape without cutting anyone off?

  Often, yes. If cropping to the new shape would cut off a face, a hand or something that matters, the editor can extend the background instead, so the wall, sky or floor continues and the photo fits. A second shot from the same moment helps, because the editor can take real background from it instead of rebuilding it.

• Who chooses the wording and the lettering style?

  You give the exact words, including capital letters and punctuation; the editor designs the lettering. They choose the font, color and layout to suit the photo, or follow a style you point to, and check the spelling against your text. We don't write the wording for you, design logos, or build a card from scratch.

• Is the file ready to send to a print shop?

  You get a digital file shaped for the use you told us, such as an 8x10 or a 5x7 print. We don't do print-shop setup like bleed, color profiles or physical proofs, so check your printer's requirements and order a test print first.

• How large can the photo be printed?

  It depends on the pixels in the original. A sharp 8x10 print needs roughly 2400 × 3000 pixels after cropping. If your photo is smaller than that, see photo restoration and upscaling.

Ordering with Tucia

• Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

  By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.

• How much does it cost?

  Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

• How long does it take?

  Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

• What if I'm not happy with the result?

  Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

• Are my photos kept private?

  Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
