Before photography, family memories were kept alive through annual reenactments of the year's best moments, despite Grandpa's continued protests at being miscast as the mischievous puppy. Keep your keepsakes safe with today's Groupon: for $22, you get a photograph transferred onto an 8"x10" metal panel from CanvasRox (a $45 value).

CanvasRox’s visual magicians marshal printing technology to recast traditional art and photographs as gleaming, durable 8”x10" metal panels. After photographers upload personal pictures to the CanvasRox website, transmogrifying mavens press images onto a lustrous metallic surface, a more effective method than storing scrapbooks in a backyard glacier. CanvasRox follows a rigorous four-step process to deliver photos of the highest caliber, appraising images for possible sizing or quality issues, reprinting imperfect prints, coating images with protective products to safeguard them against aging, and reviewing finalized pieces for quality before shipping them out. A UV coating and protective products help ensure that an image will last more than a century, ensuring that distant great grandchildren will be able to marvel at the keepsake, asking “Wait, what’s a photograph, again?”

Images should be uploaded in JPEG file, and should be no larger than 10 megabytes.
