A big smiling face on a shirt is guaranteed to get a laugh at a birthday, a bachelor party or the finish line of a race. Done well, it can also be sweet: a grandparent’s face for a milestone birthday, or the groom’s face on the whole crew. Here is how to get a clean, funny-in-the-right-way face print.
- The birthday person’s face on everyone’s shirt.
- The groom’s face for the bachelor party.
- A cheering section at a race or graduation.
- Grandpa’s face for his 80th.
- A face mug for a coworker’s farewell.
How to get a clean face cut-out
- Choose a photo where the face is big and sharp, looking toward the camera. A big laugh or a dramatic expression is funnier than a polite smile.
- Use good light. Window light beats flash. Avoid sunglasses and hats that hide the face.
- Tap Remove background after uploading. The editor cuts out the head and shoulders so only the face prints.
- Make it big. A face that fills most of the print box reads from across the room.
Add words for extra fun
Choose Picture + text and add a line above or below: “Happy 40th Dave”, “Team Groom”, “I’m with him”, “Best Boss Ever” or an inside joke. Keep it to a few words so it is readable in photos.
Beyond shirts
A face mug is the ultimate office gift. Die-cut face stickers are a cheap, hilarious extra for party favors, and a face water bottle or mouse pad keeps the joke going all year.

Be kind
The best face shirts celebrate someone. Ask the person (or someone close to them) before using their photo, and keep the wording friendly, especially for shirts worn in public or at work.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a photo from social media?
It will usually work for a mug or sticker, but social media shrinks photos. For a big shirt print, ask for the original photo from the person’s camera roll.
Can I put several faces on one shirt?
Yes. Combine them into one image first, or use one group photo and remove the background.
Will the face be cut out automatically?
Tap Remove background after uploading and the editor removes it for you. You can switch back to the original photo if you prefer.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order a single shirt.
