Frequently asked questions

Why would I buy a digital file, instead of a physical print?

Buying a digital file offers several unique advantages over a physical print. First and foremost, the turnaround time between you placing your order and receiving your personalized design is incredibly fast, often within 1 business day and, in many cases, the same day. This means you can have it printed, framed, and displayed in no time, bypassing any potential shipping delays or damages.

Moreover, a digital file gives you complete control over your purchase. There are no limits to the number of times you can print it once you have the file. This flexibility is perfect if you’re organizing a party and would like to incorporate it into your table décor or need multiple copies for any other purpose.

In addition, by choosing digital over physical, you’re making a conscious choice to reduce your carbon footprint. This is because digital products eliminate the need for physical shipping and packaging, which can be substantial contributors to environmental impact. So not only are you receiving a beautiful piece of art, you’re also making a greener choice.

Overall, opting for a digital file provides you with speed, control, versatility, and an environmentally friendly solution for your art needs.

What will I receive?

Every done-for-you poster is one high-resolution JPEG, delivered by email as a Dropbox link. It’s print-ready at 300 DPI and works at 8×10", 11×14", 16×20" or 18×24". There’s no physical product and nothing is posted — you download the file and print it wherever you like.

You also get a complimentary black and white version of the same poster, included free with every order.

How and when will I receive it?

When your poster is ready we’ll email you a Dropbox link.

For our done-for-you posters, we offer 3 turnaround options:

► 1 business day — fulfilled by the next business day from you placing your order with your photo uploaded (Monday to Friday)

► 12-hour weekDAY rush — fulfilled within 12 hours of you placing your order with your photo uploaded (Monday to Friday)

► 24-hour weekEND rush — fulfilled within 24 hours of you placing your order with your photo uploaded (Saturday & Sunday)

How do I download my file?

When your poster is ready we’ll email you a Dropbox link. You don’t need a Dropbox account.

  1. Open the email from us and click the link
  2. The poster opens in Dropbox in your browser
  3. Then download the poster itself:
    On a computer — hover over the poster file and click the download icon that appears.
    On a phone or tablet — tap the three dots in the top right of the poster, then tap Download.
  4. The JPEG saves to your device — that’s the file you take to a printer

🔒 Dropbox may ask you to sign up. You do not have to. At the bottom of that box, choose “Or continue with download only”.

If the link doesn’t open or the download won’t start, email hello@giftstoprint.com and we’ll send the file another way.

How do I print my file?

The poster can be printed at home, however for a professional look we suggest getting it printed at your local print shop (Staples, FedEx Office, Walgreens Photo, Costco, or a local photo lab). There are also many online printing options.

Will it still look like newspaper when I print it?

Yes. The aged-newspaper effect is part of the design itself, not something the paper provides. The tone, the texture and the print grain are all built into the file, so it prints exactly as it looks on screen — on ordinary white paper.

There’s no special paper to buy. A matte or satin finish gives the nicest result, but standard printer paper is absolutely fine.

Is a personalized newspaper poster a good birthday gift?

Yes, particularly for milestone birthdays like 1st, 16th, 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, and 100th. A custom newspaper poster recreates the front page from the year your recipient was born, featuring real US news headlines, sport results, entertainment references, and price comparisons from that era. Combined with a personal photo and message, it makes a keepsake gift most people frame and display permanently rather than setting aside after the occasion.

What does the poster include from the year they were born?

Each poster features real events and cultural moments from your recipient’s birth year in the US — major news headlines, sporting highlights, entertainment references, and notable facts from that era, all presented in an authentic aged-newspaper style. You also personalize it with their photo, name, date of birth, place of birth, and an optional message at the bottom.

Can I fully customize the photo and message?

Yes. You choose the photo and fill in the details — name, date of birth, place of birth, and any message you’d like included — on this page, as part of placing your order. There is nothing to send afterwards. The design team then builds them into your poster and emails you the finished file. If anything doesn’t look right, they’ll fix it — before you download, or after.

Is this a good last-minute birthday gift?

Yes. GiftsToPrint delivers the finished personalized file by email rather than physical shipping, so there’s no risk of a late delivery. The 12-hour weekday rush option means you can place your order in the morning and have the file ready to print the same evening. Once you have the file, any local print shop — Staples, FedEx Office, Walgreens Photo, or Costco — can produce a print quickly.

What size should I print the poster at?

The file prints cleanly at all four sizes. 8”x10” and 11”x14” are the most popular for framing — they sit well on a bedside table or a living room shelf. 16”x20” and 18”x24” make a statement piece for a centrepiece or party decor.

Standard frames in these sizes are available at most home goods stores including IKEA, Target, and Walmart.

Important info

► This listing is for a digital product; no physical product will be shipped out.

► Refunds or exchanges are not accepted once your poster has been delivered — that is, once we’ve emailed you the download link. If something isn’t right with it, tell us and we’ll revise it. You can cancel for a full refund any time before then.

Suze quickly filled the digital order and the newspaper front page celebrating my mother turning 100 looks great! She included comprehensive instructions for the various ways you might print it. The facts from 100 years ago are fun and will be enjoyed by my mom and the guests at her celebration. They'll encourage discussions with her about what life was like then! Thanks for a great product.
