About the Design
Personalized Photo Glass Chessboard – 32 Memories, One Custom Playing Board
Turn your favorite photographs into a personalized glass chessboard made for playing, displaying, and sharing. We arrange 32 of your photos across alternating squares, keeping the other 32 squares white to create a complete 8 × 8 chessboard.
Family portraits, travel photographs, wedding memories, pets, and everyday moments become part of your next game. Your photo layout is UV printed on the backside of 4 mm tempered glass, beneath a smooth, glossy front.
Available in 12 × 12, 16 × 16, and 20 × 20 inches.
Chessboard only. Chess pieces are not included.
A Custom Photo Chessboard Filled with Your Memories
Choose 32 photographs that tell your story. Create a board celebrating your relationship, family, friendships, travels, or another meaningful part of your life.
Photo ideas include:
- Couple photographs and anniversary memories.
- Family portraits across different generations.
- Wedding photographs and special celebrations.
- Holidays, city breaks, and outdoor adventures.
- Favorite pets and everyday moments.
- Friends, graduations, and shared milestones.
Each photo occupies one square, alternating with an untouched white square. The photo-and-white pattern extends edge to edge, creating a clean, borderless design without a surrounding gray band.
Your photographs are printed beneath the glass; they are not separate stickers or raised tiles.

4 mm Tempered Glass with Rear UV Printing
Your personalized photo chessboard is made from a flat, square panel of 4 mm tempered glass with polished edges, square corners, and a frameless finish.
High-resolution UV printing places your photographs on the backside of the glass, with a white protective backing layer behind the artwork. The clear glass front provides a smooth playing surface above the print.
The glossy finish produces natural reflections and gives your photo collection a clean, vivid presentation. Final print detail depends on the quality of the photographs you provide.
A Functional Chessboard for Play and Display
Your memories form part of a playable chessboard with 8 rows, 8 columns, and 64 equal squares. The layout contains 32 photo squares and 32 white squares, with a white square at each player’s lower-right corner.
Bring your own chess pieces and enjoy a game on the smooth glass surface. Between games, the board can remain on display as a personal collection of photographs.
Because photographs vary in brightness and color, photo squares may have less uniform contrast than a traditional black-and-white chessboard. Your preview lets you check how the collection looks together.
Choose Your Size
All three sizes feature the same 32-photo layout. Larger boards provide larger photo squares and more room for suitably sized chess pieces.
| Board size | Overall dimensions | Each playing square |
|---|---|---|
| 12-inch | 12 × 12 inches / 30.48 × 30.48 cm | 1.5 × 1.5 inches / 3.81 × 3.81 cm |
| 16-inch | 16 × 16 inches / 40.64 × 40.64 cm | 2 × 2 inches / 5.08 × 5.08 cm |
| 20-inch | 20 × 20 inches / 50.8 × 50.8 cm | 2.5 × 2.5 inches / 6.35 × 6.35 cm |
Glass thickness: 4 mm for every size.
These square dimensions apply to the edge-to-edge layout. Check your chess-piece base sizes before choosing a board; each base should fit comfortably within its playing square.
Color and Photo Style Options
Keep your photographs in their original color, or discuss a coordinated treatment such as black and white or soft vintage tones when requesting your layout.
Photo treatments apply to the photograph squares; the alternating white squares remain white. Review the chosen appearance in your preview before ordering.
Printed photographs can suggest depth, but the finished glass surface remains completely flat and smooth.
How to Choose Your 32 Photos
For the clearest printed results:
- Send original, high-resolution photographs whenever possible.
- Avoid screenshots, heavily compressed files, and blurry images.
- Choose photographs with faces away from the image edges.
- Remember that rectangular photos require square cropping.
- Include placement or orientation instructions with your files.
- Supply photographs you own or have permission to reproduce.
We arrange your pictures within the square layout, but cropping cannot restore missing detail or make an out-of-focus photograph sharp.
Colors may differ slightly between your screen and the finished print.
Easy to Clean
Gently wipe the glass front with a soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and everyday marks. When needed, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry the surface with a soft cloth.
Your photographs sit beneath the glass, so cleaning takes place on the smooth front surface. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning products.
Care and Handling
Tempered glass provides increased strength compared with ordinary annealed glass, but it can still break if dropped or struck.
Place the board on a clean, stable, level surface. Lift and reposition it carefully, protect its edges and corners from impacts, and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces.
Production and Shipping
Production takes 2–3 business days after your order is placed and your final photo layout is ready for printing. Photo collection, layout preparation, and requested adjustments take place before production begins.
Estimated shipping times after dispatch:
| Destination | Estimated transit time |
|---|---|
| United States and Canada | 3–5 business days |

Production and shipping are separate stages. Transit times are estimates and may vary by destination, carrier, and customs processing.
Carefully Packaged for Delivery
Your personalized glass chessboard is packed with protective shipping materials to help protect the glass panel, polished edges, and corners during transit.

What’s Included
Your order includes:

- Installation guidance
- Protective shipping packaging
Screw mounting hardware is available as an optional $20 upgrade. Standard silicone, tape, silicone + tape, and metal-hanger mounting options are included at no extra charge.
Size and Measuring
Measure the installation area carefully before ordering. Width and height must be entered separately. A small mistake in the entered dimensions produces a panel that fits the number you typed, not the wall you meant.
For a backsplash, measure the width between cabinets or cabinet returns and the height from the counter to the underside of your hood or upper cabinets. If you have no upper cabinets, 60 cm is the standard splash zone.
Need an outlet opening or custom cut-out? Select Custom cut-outs above for +$30 per panel. Add the dimensions and positions of each opening, with an optional photo or annotated drawing.
Mounting and Installation
Choose from complimentary standard mounting options (transparent adhesive silicone, double-sided tape, silicone + tape, or removable metal hangers), or select stainless-steel screw mounting hardware for an additional $20. The most suitable installation method depends on the panel size, wall condition, and installation area.
Approximately 15 minutes of active installation time, plus 24 hours for silicone to cure (silicone mounting options only — metal-hanger and screw installs skip the cure step). Complete step-by-step instructions ship with your order and are also online.
Production and Delivery
- Standard-size production: 3–5 business days
- Custom-size production: 8–10 business days
- Standard shipping: Free on every order. Transit time depends on the destination — see the shipping estimate near the Add to Cart button for your country's window, or open the full shipping & delivery details.
- Express shipping (US only): additional $20, faster transit — production time is unchanged.
Orders shipped within the United States are not subject to import duties or customs fees. For international destinations, local taxes or import requirements are set by the destination country.
Returns, Damage and Remakes
Because each panel is produced in the selected design and size, custom and made-to-order products may not be eligible for return due to preference changes.
If an item arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from the approved order, contact Zaanvo promptly with clear photos of the packaging and the panel so the issue can be reviewed and resolved. We reply within one business day.
