How To Turn Your Photos Into U.S. Postage Stamps
Yes, you can put your personal photos on postage stamps ... and it's just TOO cool.
True, a $.37 stamp sells for about $.85... but it's PERSONALIZED with any photo you like on it!
You can use a photo of your dog hamming it up, your pet snake eating a mouse, your new baby drooling, your extraordinary wedding, your tanned self on a cruise, your 4x4 vehicle in some offroad predicament, or your entire family squeezed into a 1.4" x 1.9" rectangle.
Pretty much anything you like... just no nudity or Ted Kaczynski mug shots -- after all, letters bearing these stamps must travel through other people's hands and pass by the eyes of innocent children.
Other Helpful Tidbits
- You must purchase photo stamps in sheets of 20.
- You're not limited to standard 1oz letter-size stamps (twenty $.37 stamps for $16.99). You can also get postcard ($.23) for $13.99, large 1oz envelope ($.49) for $19.99, 2oz envelope ($.60) for $22.49, 3oz envelope ($.83) for $26.99, 4oz envelope ($1.06) for $31.99, or 1lb Priority mailpiece ($3.85) for $89.99 -- that's some serious mailing!!!
- It's quick and simple to do online. You simply follow the prompts and tell it where on your hard your digital photo exists. You can then crop it, resize it, move it, or select a new images and start over. The entire time you can see right before your eyes what your actual postage stamp will look like.

As with anything I order on the Internet...
I just type in a "fake" order -- all the way up to the part where you have to actually type in your credit card. Then just close your browser, or hit the Back button. Or hit Cancel.
That way, you can usually pick & choose from all of the different options and see exactly what's available to you before you actually place your order.
Have fun!
Before ordering photo stamps, I want to know total costs. Up front. Cost for stamps? Shipping costs? I want no last minute surprises.
