About Faraway Frames
Faraway Frames turns 10–20 trip photos into an illustrated collage, a typographic route map and a vintage travel poster — printed and framed by a local shop in the US or Canada. Photos never appear on the poster.
Facts last updated 2026-10-19. Status: pre-launch waitlist (free previews live; ordering not open).
What it is
Faraway Frames is a physical custom-poster product. You upload favorite travel photos; we illustrate what is in them into three distinct designs matching the brand line: Illustrated Collage, Route Map, Vintage Travel Poster. You preview all three free, pick a size and optional frame, and — when ordering opens — a regional print partner makes and ships the piece. Tagline: Your trip, illustrated and framed. Made by a print shop near you.
How it works
1. Upload
10–20 photos (recommended), plus an optional title, dates and places.
2. We illustrate
Subjects become illustrations — collage stickers, route cartography, or vintage poster art. Your photos stay off the final print.
3. Local make
A US or Canada partner prints on archival paper, frames if chosen, and ships with tracking.
- Illustrated Collage: The landmarks, scenery, food and little moments from your photos, illustrated and arranged as a collage.
- Route Map: A refined, typographic map of your trip: route, stops, distance and dates. No photos, just beautiful cartography.
- Vintage Travel Poster: Bold flat illustration in the classic travel-poster style, built from the places and things in your photos.

FAQ
What is Faraway Frames?
Faraway Frames is a pre-launch service that turns 10–20 of your travel photos into three illustrated poster designs — an illustrated collage, a typographic route map, and a vintage travel poster — then prints and frames the one you choose through a local partner in the US or Canada. Your photos never appear on the poster.
Do my photos appear on the poster?
No. Photos are analysed only to recognise subjects (landmarks, scenery, food, moments). Those subjects are illustrated; the original photos are not printed on the artwork.
How much does a custom travel poster cost?
Planned intro prices (USD, not final until launch) run from about $49 print-only to about $274 for larger framed options. Free watermarked previews are available now; no payment is taken during waitlist mode.
Who prints and ships the poster?
A vetted independent print and frame shop in your region of the US or Canada. Orders will be routed by postal code so the piece travels a short domestic distance.
What happens to my photos?
Unordered preview sessions are deleted within 30 days (often sooner). Photos are not sold and are not used to train AI models. See the privacy page for retention detail.
Can I order today?
Not yet. The site is in pre-launch waitlist mode: design free previews, then join the waitlist to be notified when ordering opens and to hold the planned intro price.
