Here are the four points our designers check on receipt, and that you can anticipate on your side. If you want to dig into the LED logic before ordering, read our guide on [how to choose an LED neon sign](https://helioneon.com/en/blog/how-to-choose-a-neon-sign/). ### High definition, 2000 px or more A sharp, large-format photo lets our designer trace every detail finely. Avoid screenshots or photos compressed by messaging apps. ### Strong light, no backlighting Front or side lighting draws the outlines clearly. Backlighting flattens the volumes and makes the LED tube conversion harder. ### A plain background, ideally A light or neutral background isolates your subject well. If your background is busy, no panic, our team cuts it out manually before tracing. ### A sharp subject, not blurry A well-focused subject ensures a faithful result. If your photo is slightly blurry, our designer can attempt a reconstruction, but it extends the lead time. ## Examples of neon signs made from a photo More than 3,000 neon signs have left our workshop, a good share of them created from a client photo.
