❓ Questions

The things grandparents ask us

Will it really look like them?

The faces come from the photos you upload, and you see a free preview before you pay. If something is not right, tell us and we fix it.

I am not good with computers.

It is one question per screen with big buttons. If you get stuck, email us and we finish it with you.

How many people can be in it?

Two: your grandchild and you. Every story is drawn for those two heroes.

How long does it take?

Usually in your inbox in about 25 minutes (always within 48 hours).

What if I do not like it?

Three rounds of changes. Still not right? Full refund.

What happens to the photos?

Used only to draw your movie, never to train anything. If you do not order, they are deleted within 3 days. If you order, they are deleted 30 days after approval. If you paid for extra movies, they are kept until those movies are made or refunded. You confirm you have the parent's permission.

Why does my statement say Toast of a Lifetime?

Once Upon a Grandchild is part of Toast of a Lifetime, the company that makes it.

Know a grandparent who would love this? Our partner program pays 20%.

Ready to make them the hero?

Two photos and a first name. You see the free preview before you pay anything.
