Step 2
Upload photos from a digital camera. Custom postage companies allow individuals to upload images into a user-friendly program where they can perform basic photo edits using free software. Perform heavy editing before uploading, as most postage services only offer zoom, rotate and crop features.

Step 3
Have fun enhancing your image. Choose custom borders to add a splash of color to your picture or add a title or caption to your stamps. Announce the arrival of your new baby with a lovely picture above the caption, "It's a Boy!", or place your company's new address under an image of your logo when notifying clients of a move.
