Photo Mugs FAQs

Are Shutterfly customized mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?
Most ceramic photo mugs are both dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday use. Specialty finishes or decorative details may require extra care, so it’s best to check individual product details before cleaning.

What types of photo mugs are available?
Shutterfly offers a variety of options, including classic ceramic mugs in multiple sizes, latte-style mugs, and travel mugs designed for life on the go.

What color options are available for my custom mug?
Choose between a white or black mug base, then personalize the handle and interior with accent colors like red, blue, pink, light blue, or gold.

How do I choose the right photo for a custom mug?
For the best results, choose a high-resolution photo with good lighting and a clear focal point. Close-up images tend to work especially well on mugs, since the design area is smaller than a full print. Photos with simple backgrounds and strong contrast help details stand out, while well-lit images avoid looking dark once printed. Before ordering, use the preview tool to make sure faces, text, or important details aren’t cropped.
