How a Skylit star map
comes together.
Four tabs, one live preview. From layout and palette to the precise night sky and the words you want under it — here's exactly what you'll see when you start designing yours.
Live preview
Every change updates the print on the left in real time. No surprises at checkout.
Real astronomy
The sky is rendered from actual data for the date, time and place you choose.
Hand-drawn option
Type your message — or sign it yourself with a finger, mouse or Apple Pencil.
Save for later
Step away and come back. We'll email you a link to your exact design.
Choose your cosmic canvas.
Composition, shape, theme and palette — all in one place. The Design tab is where the look comes together; tap anything and the print on the left updates instantly.
Composition
Classic, Boxed, Panel or Header — four ways to pair your title and details with the disc.
Shape
Classic disc for a true star chart, Azimuth dial for compass precision, or Heart for the most romantic version.
Theme
Five preset moods, each tuned with a coordinated background and star colour.
Background
Solid tones plus deep-space scenes — Galaxy, Starry, Noctis, NGC 604 and Cartoon.
Star Map Elements
Toggle Constellations, Equatorial Grid and Labels independently. Keep things minimal or layer in everything science can tell us about that sky.
Themes that set the mood.
Skylit Night for our signature deep blue, Skylit Galaxy for a richer cosmic backdrop, Treeline for an aurora-lit horizon, Aurora for the colours of the lights themselves, and Red Velvet for a dramatic finish.
Each theme bundles a coordinated background, star colour and texture so the whole print feels considered.
Ten backgrounds, instantly.
Five solid tones (Black, White, Navy, Cream, Deep Red) plus five astronomical scenes (Galaxy, Starry, Noctis, NGC 604, Cartoon). Tap any swatch and the whole sky redraws — no waiting, no preview lag.
Solid backgrounds suit minimal interiors. Deep-space scenes feel like a window through the wall.
Pinpoint the moment.
Tell us the place and time, down to the minute. We render the actual sky as it looked from there — every star where it really was that night.
Location
Search any city, postcode or place name. Coordinates auto-fill beneath the field — useful if you want them on the print.
Date
The date that matters: when you met, the proposal, a birth, an anniversary. The chart redraws for that exact night.
Time
Set the hour and minute. Stars move noticeably across the sky in even half an hour, and we capture it precisely.
Show Time on Print
Optional — tick the box to display the time alongside the date in the caption block.
Write the words. Or draw them.
Add a heartfelt message, a one-line caption, and pair them with fonts that match the mood. Stuck? Hit Inspiration. Want it in your own hand? Sign it on the canvas.
Message
Up to four lines, centred above the caption. The text auto-shrinks to fit so you don't have to fight the layout.
Caption
One short line beneath the message — "Under the same sky", a date, a coordinate. Whatever ties it together.
Inspiration
A button that surfaces curated phrases in case nothing comes to mind. Tap one and it drops straight into the message.
Font scope
Apply a font to the Message, the Details, or Both. Mix a hand-script for the headline with a clean serif for the date.
Every font, in its own hand.
Each tile is rendered in the typeface itself — Josefin's clean sans, Prata's editorial serif, Great Vibes' looping script — so you see exactly how it will look before you commit.
Twenty curated families, split into Regular and Handwritten. No surprises after add-to-cart.
Or sign it yourself.
Tick "Handwritten message" and a canvas appears. Sign with a finger, mouse, or Apple Pencil — undo, erase, adjust the brush size. Your strokes become the message on the print.
Perfect for a "thank you" in your own hand, a child's name, or a doodle that means everything.
Pick your finish.
Print, framed, or canvas — five sizes, optional ribbon wrap, live total. The Finish tab pulls everything together before you check out.
Finish
Print on 260gsm photo lustre, Framed in Black, White, Natural or Dark Brown, or gallery-wrapped Canvas with hanging kit.
Size
A4, 30×40 cm, 40×50 cm, 50×70 cm or 60×80 cm. The price updates as you tap.
Wrapping
None for a clean unboxing, or Ribbon (+£2.49) for gift-ready presentation straight out of the mailer.
