From phone photo to print-ready iris
On the left your untouched eye photo, on the right the finished result: cut out, precisely centred and computed in high resolution. Drag the slider and compare.
Your own iris artwork in four steps
The entire process runs in your browser – on your phone or on your computer.
Step 1
Take a photo of your eye
Light the eye with a flashlight held at an angle from the side and photograph it with your phone. No studio, appointment or specialist camera required.
Step 2
Your iris is created
From your photo we compute a true-to-life, cut-out iris, precisely centred.
Step 3
Choose a design
Pick from published styles – alone or together with up to six people.
Step 4
Download your artwork
Your finished artwork is ready to download right away – high-resolution and print-ready.
Art styles for one person or the whole family
Every preview shown here comes from real runs of our image pipeline. Choose the number of people first – the available styles adjust accordingly.
Note: the images shown are rough examples only. Every artwork is generated anew from the real iris and will therefore look different – the description of each art style is what counts.
Who an iris artwork is perfect for
For yourself
Your own iris as wall art: an artwork that exists only once, anywhere in the world.
For couples
Two irises in one artwork – fused with a shared contact zone or placed side by side.
For families
Up to six people in one image, each iris generated individually and then combined.
As a gift
More personal than any store-bought poster – made from a photo you took yourselves.
Why the result really looks like your eye
A true-to-life iris first
Before any design is applied, we compute a colour-accurate, cut-out iris from your photo – round, centred, with visible fibre structure.
Your structure is preserved
The artworks are built on your real iris. Your eye's pattern stays recognisable instead of being replaced with a generic fantasy image.
Computed in high resolution
The output is upscaled to large dimensions and given print resolution – suitable for posters, canvas or acrylic.
