Step 1
Choose a clear photo
Use the clearest photo you have. Good lighting and a clear view of the face, body, clothing, and distinctive details give Miniu the best starting point.
How it works
From one photo to a custom 3D figurine with a Preview
Miniu helps you start from a photo, choose a style and important details, review a Preview, then select size and final options in the app before confirming production.
Miniu examples across styles and sizes, used to show the direction before you start your own creation.

Why this process matters
A custom figurine is not an off-the-shelf product. A good process helps you explain the idea, see the creative direction, and decide before production starts.
Start from my photoNo 3D file required
You can start from a normal photo. Use the clearest image you have, because a better source photo gives the figurine a better starting point.
Decide before production
The Preview helps you see the creative direction before payment and production. The physical piece can vary in detail depending on size, material, and complexity.
Clear before confirmation
Checkout shows price, payment methods, and delivery options before you decide to produce.
Made for personal gifts
The figurine starts from the recipient photo and story, so it feels different from a generic ready-made product.
Styles
Choose a style for the recipient
Style shapes the emotion of the figurine as much as size does. Pick the direction that fits the gift, memory, or collectible you want.
Cute / Chibi
Bigger head, softer proportions, and a warm playful look for personal gifts.
Art Toy
A stronger character direction for collectibles, display pieces, or more stylized gifts.
Realistic
A more mature direction that can be selected at every size; 8 cm or larger is recommended for clearer realistic detail.
Pet style
Focuses on colors, markings, and pet personality, starting from clear photos.
