Expanded Perspective is an American owned and operated small business. We have a small staff and we host our online store with Shopify.

Shopify pay (supported by Stripe) is a secure checkout. 

Additionally, we use a Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, which is an encrypted connection between your device and the server where our website is located. This connection keeps your photo, name, address, and credit card information secure between you and us.

When you upload a personal photo to our website, that photo is securely stored on Shopify's servers via encrypted connection. We then go into this server and create your piece of graphic art with the image. Once we are done with your art file, it is sent to you via email and subject to the security on your email server.

We then send your art file to our printing company for their one-time-use printing process to create your product. 

We will not EVER sell or give away your photo or personal information to individuals or other companies. We delete personal photos after 90 days (retained for customer service purposes) and we keep your art file to use in personalized marketing images that will only ever be sent to your email address associated with your order. 

We do not sell or share your email address with anyone.

First, you shop our store and pick your product.

Second, you upload your photo and crop to fit the product. Each product has the photo crop option locked to the correct aspect ratio so that your uploaded photo is cropped how YOU want it to look on the product when we print it for you.

Third, you tell us how you want the graphic art style to be on your art file; Very Artful, Artful, or Less Artful.

Then just add to cart!

After your purchase, our artist will create a piece of art based on your photo and with your selected artful style! We will then email you the art file! If you love the art file, you need to nothing else but wait for your art piece! 

If you do not like your art when we send it via email, simply reply to the email and our graphic artist(s) will see your reply and send some more options for you to choose from. We will not send your art to the printer until you are 100% satisfied with it!

When the printing company receives the final art file from us, they will print your product and ship it to the address you entered at checkout. 

Not at all! Our process of creating a piece of graphic art often smoothes over the low quality issues of some phone cameras. 

If that isn't enough, the process by which we turn your photo into a piece of art with enough quality to print on a large canvas (for example) also increases the resolution of your image! 

In most cases, we can take your lower quality photo taken with a phone camera and create an art file that we could print on a large canvas!

In our experience, we will have a final art file to you within 24 hours. 

Once you make a decision on your favorite of the three options we email you, we will send the art file to the printing company and processing usually takes 2-5 days. 

Our printing company has printing locations all throughout the world and shipping usually takes 2-3 days. 

This all results in an average purchase-to-delivery time of 7-10 days!
