About Your Photo:
What kind of photograph of my child do you recommend I send in?
We recommend you send us a snapshot or portrait photo of your child that meets the following guidelines:
- Your child’s face is at least the size of a quarter.
- Your child’s face is well-focused.
- Your child’s face is not obstructed by any object.
- Your child is not wearing a hat or bow.
No Polaroid photographs, please.
We reserve the right to refuse any customer submitted photos at our sole discretion. Can the photograph I submit have people in it other than my child?
Yes, as long as we can see your child’s entire face. We will separate your child from the background. Just make sure you indicate which person is your child.
Can I send more than one photograph if I’m not sure which one will be best?
Sure! If you have trouble picking, we’ll be happy to choose for you. Only one photo will be used for each product.
If I mail my photo, will it be returned?
No, due to the nature of our production process we are not able to return your photo. However, you can call our customer service after you receive your video to request that your photo be returned separately. Photos will be stored at our office for 120 days from when we receive your completed order.
How do I send you the photo?
You can send us your photo(s) in three different ways:
- You can upload your photo along with your order via our website.
- You can send your photo(s) via e-mail to info@kideo.com. Photos must be attached as a JPEG file (.jpg).Please include your Order Confirmation number, Child`s name and Product ordered in the subject of the email.
- You may also mail us your photo(s). Please write your child`s name and your confirmation number on the back of your photo and mail it to:
Kideo.com – Photo Department
390 Park Avenue South 3rd Floor
New York, NY 10016
If I send in my photo after I’ve placed my order, will you know whose it is?
Just write your child’s first name and your confirmation number on the back of the photo and we’ll match it up to your order.
What part of my child’s photo will you use?
We will use only your child’s face. In our videos and other products, your child’s face appears on a cartoon body, so it does not matter if your child’s entire body is shown in the picture or if your child is sitting or standing.
Can I send in more than one photo if I ordered more than one product for a child?
Yes. If you have ordered more than one product for a single child and have a preference as to which photo goes with which product, please indicate this when you send the photos. We will use one photo in each product.
Do you ever modify the photo I send in?
We correct for red eye and adjust the brightness, contrast and size. Otherwise, your child’s face appears as it appears in your photo.
