Follow along with our visual guide. We'll show you exactly what to do at each step — from uploading your photo to downloading your finished keepsake.
Quick answer
It takes five steps: upload your photo, choose one of four tree designs, position and resize it over the latch, pick an effect like Galaxy or Midnight, then download. Start to finish is under 60 seconds, with no app, account, or watermark.
Before you start: Have your breastfeeding photo ready. The best photos clearly show where baby latches, with some visible chest area for the tree roots and baby's head for the branches.
