The gift 🎁
1. Choose size
2. Upload photo
3. We’ll come by 📦
We shrink you just as shown in your photo. Customized & Hand-painted
For example, for 3D frames, model making, dioramas, desks, or shelves...
A truly unique gift 😊🎁
Most of our customers have themselves and their loved ones miniaturized as a personalized 3D picture frame gift 🎁 .
We shrink your accessories too
Here: 2 people with scooter in 1:32
You can specify in the configurator what is with you in your photo and should be shrunk too.
Also possible with a bicycle, guitar, dog, or surfboard
First, you will be digitally hand-modelled based on your photo. Not a scan. Therefore, not everything has to be visible in the photo. (for example the feet here).
We model you similarly to working with clay. Only digitally. Then you will be printed in white resin...
Afterwards lovingly cleaned, cured and finally hand-painted with a mini brush...🎨 This pair with ostrich is 1:32 = approx. 5–6 cm figure size
No. We always model and paint the figures individually based on a photo.
This is not a SCAN. You will recognize yourself well, but there is always some artistry involved.
This pair of figures has been reduced to 1:32 scale. (approx. 5–6 cm figure height)
Here 6 gentlemen in our favorite scale 1:43 = approx. 4 cm figure size
Accessories = what is visible in your photo and should be shrunk along with it.. e.g. like Jens's skateboard shown here.
🍿🎥 how Andi builds this frame you can see at the very bottom 👀 of this page...
Yes. We’ll shrink you from a group photo too! Like here at 1:32 scale 👍🏼
We also shrink families, crews, bands, clubs, departments, entire staffs...
You in miniature too?
...captured! This is a very special and unique keepsake. As a gift, for 3D frames, model making, dioramas, or as a wedding cake topper 🎂
Choose from 24 scales/ figure sizes...
This wedding couple is at scale 1:24
How tall will you be at 1:24? With a height of 1,80 meters, for example:
180 cm : 24 = 7,5 cm figure height
Yes. We shrink everything that’s in the photo with you and should be shrunk along with you. You can select all of that in the configurator after you have uploaded your photo.
We can also include a log, surfboard, bench, chair, beach chair, motorcycle, dog, cat or even a mouse
Also possible with a quad bike, bicycle, horse, or donkey. Here in 1:87 H0 and 1:43
No. We can’t do cars. (because of the windows) Because: We print in white and paint by hand 🎨
In the "Figure Configurator", you’ll find our scales. Your figure size is calculated by dividing your original height in cm by the scale.
Take a look on your phone. You're sure to find lots of great shrink photos there. Just choose a size, upload a photo, and the shrinking fun begins...

questions and answers
Will my character be completely photorealistic?
No. We always model and paint the figures individually based on a photo. This is not a SCAN. You will recognize yourself well, but there is always a bit of art involved.
With an unusual position and accessories (that are visible in your photo and we should shrink with it, e.g. a trumpet or camera) your figure will look best later.
Does the resolution and background of the photo matter?
Doesn't have to be high resolution . Any cell phone photo will do. We don't scan. Everything is modeled and painted by hand. So you can also upload an old picture of grandma or grandpa to shrink.
The background does not matter. The background does not have to be one color or similar. We do not scan anything, but rather model and paint by hand.
A normal smartphone picture , which you probably have a thousand times on your phone, is enough.
Does the photo have to show every body part of the person being shrunk?
NO. We model and paint everything by hand. In such a case, write in the order note what we should model and which color. If the feet are not visible in the photo then for example " man wearing white sneakers " - " woman barefoot "
Otherwise we just create the figure the way we think it fits :)
Why shrink anyway?
As a very personal souvenir or gift.
We could write a book about this :) Most shrinking is done as a gift. For 3D frames, desks, shelves, etc.
But there is more to it :) Well, imagine that you could integrate your loved ones and yourself as a tiny figure in your miniature landscape or model railway layout :)
You could hang yourself and your loved ones on the wall in a 3D frame.
Or as a wedding cake topper. Or or or ..

Do you also shrink objects or animals?
This is our accessories in the figure configurator.
Here you can select or "book" the approximate size of the object or animal you want to shrink.
You can find examples of accessories in the configurator
Shrink with accessories "Small", "Medium", "Large" or "XL"?
Small = cell phone, glass, microphone, cap, bouquet of flowers, etc.
Resources = folding chair, guitar, bat, chainsaw, sledge, school cone, parasol or similar.
Large = bench, lounger, surfboard, large dog, double bass, wheelchair or similar.
XL = motorcycle, horse, bicycle, beach chair, ride-on mower, piano, etc.
ATTENTION: We do NOT shrink cars
Is one photo enough or should I upload more?
A clear photo from the front is absolutely sufficient. For more details, you can upload 3-4 photos per figure. Then please mark the photo for the position (the way we should shrink) or write information in the comments field... done.
How big will my figure be?
In the "Figure Configurator" you will find our scales.
Your figure size is calculated from your original body height in cm divided by the scale.
Example: You are 1.80 m tall and would like to know how tall you will be in 1:50?
Simply calculate 180 cm : 50 = 3.6 cm figure height
Where can I see more figures and accessories examples?
Please take a look at our Instagram channel or Facebook FEED
What is the current delivery time from uploading my photo?
Each figure is unique and everything is handmade.
We currently need about 6-8 weeks from the time of your order for your shrinking process.
We will then send your figure by post.
Your Schrumpfmich team
