Born Story Poster
Questions about the poster
Sizes, files, photos, downloads, and refunds for the Born Story Poster.
What comes with the Born Story Poster?
Each $14.99 order includes your poster in three print sizes, 8×10, 11×14, and 16×20 inches, each as a PDF and a PNG, plus a one-page printing guide.
You choose one of three designs: Vintage Newspaper, Modern Editorial, or Minimal Heritage. The name, message, and photo are included in the price.
What sizes can I print?
8×10, 11×14, and 16×20 inches, all at 300 DPI. Each size has its own layout, so the text is set for that size rather than stretched.
How soon do I get it?
We start making your poster as soon as your payment is confirmed, and email you a download link when the files are ready. Nothing is shipped; it’s a digital download.
How long can I download my files?
For one year after purchase. The link in your email opens your order page for 30 days; after that, ask for a fresh link with the email you ordered with.
One year after purchase the files are deleted for your privacy and can’t be made again, so save a copy.
Can I add a photo and a message?
Yes, both are optional. The message can be up to 120 characters, with a “from” line up to 40. The photo can be a JPEG or PNG up to 15 MB.
If a photo is too small to print sharply at 16×20, we tell you before you pay. It will still look fine at the smaller sizes.
Can I get a refund?
Because each poster is made for one person, we can’t take it back once it’s made. If we can’t make your poster, you get a full refund.
Spelled a name or typed a date wrong? We’ll fix it and remake your poster once, free, within 30 days. If one of our historical facts is wrong, we’ll correct it and refund you in full if you’d like. If your files never arrive or won’t open, we’ll resend them within 24 hours or refund you in full.
Where can I print it?
8×10 prints well on a good home printer. For 11×14 and 16×20, any photo printing service or local print shop works. Print from the downloaded file, not a screenshot; the printing guide covers paper and frame sizes.
Can I print copies for family?
Yes. You can print as many copies as you like for yourself and as gifts. You can’t sell the files or the prints, or use them commercially.
Where do the facts on the poster come from?
From the same public records as the free birth story, such as NOAA weather logs and U.S. Census counts. The sources are printed at the bottom of every poster.
How do I pay?
Checkout goes through PayPal. The Born Story never sees your card number.
