A padel racket with photo is possible, with a few conditions

The whole face is print area, so a photo can fill it completely. What you send does need to be large enough: at least 1500 pixels wide, and preferably 2000. A photo from a messaging app or social media is usually too small; it was scaled down before it reached you, and that can't be undone.

Which photos work well on a custom photo padel racket

Images with a clear subject and plenty of contrast. A face filling the frame, a silhouette against the sky, a clean graphic image. Busy photos with lots of small details work less well, because the 52 holes break up the image and it starts to look restless. A group photo where everyone is small turns into a pattern of blobs on a racket.

The holes run through your photo

There's no way around that, and it's good to know in advance. The holes run through the design: you see where they fall in the editor and on the free print proof, so you can keep a face or an important detail between them. Printing only starts after you approve. More on this in designing around the holes in your racket.

Rights

Only send images you hold the rights to. We can't simply print a photo taken by a photographer, a still from a film or an image from the internet. If in doubt, use your own photo.
