If you prepare it together

Leave some time to collect everyone's note. A suggested order:

  1. 1

    Start collecting the notes

    Share the collection link so everyone writes their own note. A week is a good window for a large group.

  2. 2

    Finish the design

    Upload the photo, go through the notes, design the cards. Your file is in your account right after payment.

  3. 3

    Print and paint

    Print the file at the size you chose and keep a day or two for painting. The notes need no paint.

Ready-made notes

A few lines from the ready-made pack for this day. You see them all in the editor and pick the ones you like.

Start with these notes
  • “The sibling I chose”
  • “Laughing with you is the best medicine”
  • “You are the first one I tell everything”
  • “Years go by and we stay the same”
  • “You were there on my worst days”
  • “Everything is an adventure with you”

Let everyone write a note

Share the collection link; everyone writes their note without an account. The notes land in your artwork by themselves; switch off the ones you do not want. You decide how many notes.

A portrait on your wall, your words inside

From afar it is a portrait; up close, the notes among the letters.

What years of friendship leave behind

A long friendship collects inside jokes, nicknames and stories nobody else would understand. With Revelo, your friend's photo becomes a portrait made of letters, and all of that is hidden in between. On the wall it's a portrait; inside, it's years of you two.

How it works

  1. Choose a photo. One where your friend's face is clear, or a picture of you together.
  2. Write or collect the notes. Write your own, collect them from the group with one link, or start from the ready-made "For a friend" notes like "Distance has never once made us strangers."
  3. The notes are hidden in the portrait. Each sentence runs on among the letters.
  4. Print and paint. As the marked squares are painted, your friend's portrait appears.

A goodbye gift that travels

Is a friend moving to another city or country? Bulky gifts don't fit in a suitcase. Because Revelo is a digital file, your friend can print it wherever they land, sized for the wall of their new home. With the gift page link, they can read the notes from anywhere.

What to write

  • How you met, or your first conversation
  • The inside joke only you two get
  • A hard moment you got through together
  • A thank-you you've never said

Frequently asked questions

Can our friend group make it together?

Yes. Share one collection link in the group chat. Everyone writes a note without an account, and you decide how many notes to collect. You can switch off any note you don't want.

What occasions is it good for?

Birthdays, graduations, weddings, a goodbye before a big move, a new job, or a friend you haven't seen in too long.

Can the notes include inside jokes?

Absolutely. The notes are invisible from a distance and only show up to someone reading closely, so the nicknames and private jokes stay between you.

What do I receive?

A printable painting file, the painted preview, an outline view, designed note cards and a link to a private gift page where the notes are read. Everything is in your account right after payment. We don't print or ship; you print the file wherever you like.
