Getting Started
What is Custom Love Story?
Custom Love Story turns your real love story into a personalized animated film. You upload photos and share your story — we create a beautiful Pixar-style video crafted by our artists and delivered to your inbox within 24 hours.
Perfect for anniversaries, proposals, weddings, or simply showing someone how much they mean to you.
How does the process work?
It's simple:
- 1. Create your order — Choose film length, upload photos, share your story.
- 2. We craft your film — Our artists turn your memories into an animated film.
- 3. Review & approve — You'll receive a preview link to watch and request changes.
- 4. Final delivery — Once approved, you get the full HD version to share.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to celebrate someone they love in a truly unique way. Most of our customers order films for:
- Anniversaries (wedding, engagement, dating)
- Marriage proposals
- Birthdays
- Valentine's Day
- Wedding gifts for couples
- Mother's Day or Father's Day
What makes your films different?
Every film is fully custom — we don't use templates. Your story shapes the scenes, your photos inspire the characters, and real artists review every frame before delivery.
The result is a cinematic Pixar-style film that's truly yours, not a slideshow or template.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on film length:
- 60 seconds — $44.99
- 90 seconds — $64.99
- 120 seconds — $94.99 (includes a custom song)
Add-ons: extra character ($5.99), custom song ($5.99). Free worldwide shipping and unlimited revisions always included.
Can I preview a sample film?
Yes — check out our homepage for sample films across different styles and occasions. Every film we create is unique, but the samples give you a great sense of the quality and animation style.
Orders & Delivery
How long does delivery take?
Your first film preview arrives within 24 to 48 hours after you place your order, straight to your inbox. Orders on weekends may take slightly longer.
If you need it faster, reach out via our contact page — we'll do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Can I track my order?
Yes. After you order, you can track your film's status anytime at review.customlovestory.com/status using your order number and email address.
You'll also receive email updates at every major step.
I didn't receive my order confirmation email
First, please check your spam/junk folder — sometimes our emails land there. If you still can't find it, contact us with your full name and the email address you used, and we'll resend it.
Can I change my order after placing it?
Yes — as long as we haven't started production yet. Contact us immediately with your order number and the changes you'd like to make. Once your film is in production, changes are handled through the revision process after preview.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — our films are digital, so they're delivered worldwide via email within 24 hours. No shipping costs, no delays.
If you also ordered a physical poster, we ship to the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and all EU countries.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. All payments are securely processed with SSL encryption.
Is my payment secure?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption and partner with Shopify Payments for processing. Your payment details are never stored on our servers.
Your Film
What kind of photos work best?
For best results, upload photos where:
- Faces are clearly visible and well-lit
- The image is sharp and high-resolution
- People are looking toward the camera
- There's minimal photo filtering or heavy editing
Selfies, portraits, and clear headshots all work great. Avoid blurry, pixelated, or heavily filtered photos.
Can I add more than 2 people?
Yes — you can add a third character (like a child, parent, or friend) for an additional $5.99 at checkout. Just upload their photo along with the main couple's photos.
For pets mentioned in your story (without an uploaded photo), we render a generic friendly version — no extra cost.
Can I include pets in the film?
Yes. If you mention a pet in your story, we'll include it as a supporting character. If you want the pet to look like your actual pet, upload a photo — for more accurate rendering, select the "extra character" add-on during checkout.
What video format do I receive?
You receive your final film as a high-quality MP4 file in 1080p HD, perfect for sharing on any device or social platform. You can download it directly or share the private viewing link.
Can I choose the style of animation?
All our films use a signature cinematic Pixar-inspired style. This is what makes Custom Love Story recognizable and beautiful. We don't currently offer alternative styles, but we're always refining our look based on customer feedback.
What about the voiceover — can I choose the voice?
Yes. At checkout you can choose male or female voice for the narrator. The voice is carefully crafted to match the emotion of your story.
Voices are available in English (US/UK) and German.
Do you include music?
All films include a licensed music track. With the 120-second film, we create a fully custom AI-composed song inspired by your story — with lyrics tailored to your names, memories, and key moments.
You can also add a custom song to any shorter film for $5.99.
Can I use my film on social media?
Absolutely. Your film is yours to share anywhere — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Reels, Stories, or just with friends and family. We love seeing customer films posted online!
Revisions & Refunds
Can I request changes to my film?
Yes. When you receive your preview link, you can request up to 3 revision rounds at no extra charge. Use the built-in review tool to highlight exactly what you'd like changed — scene by scene.
Each revision is usually completed within 24-48 hours.
What can I request to be changed?
Almost anything:
- Character appearance (hair, eyes, clothing)
- Scene details (locations, activities)
- Story text or voiceover wording
- Music or song lyrics (if applicable)
- Background elements
We can't change the overall Pixar-style animation, but within that style we're very flexible.
What's your refund policy?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If after going through the revision process you're still not happy with your film, contact us within 14 days of final delivery and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
Our goal is for every customer to love their film. If you don't, we don't deserve your money.
What if I found a technical issue in my film?
Technical issues (video glitches, audio sync problems, corrupted files) are fixed free of charge and don't count against your revision rounds. Just let us know via the review tool or contact page.
How long do I have to request revisions?
You have 14 days from receiving your preview link to request revisions. After 14 days without feedback, we assume you're happy with the film and finalize delivery.
Need more time? Just reply to any of our emails and we'll extend.
