What you can do
Picture clean-up
PNG/JPG backgrounds can be removed automatically, and you can use the dark parts only or the whole shape.
NFC pocket
A recess for an NFC sticker, with a pause height so you can drop the tag in mid-print and seal it.
Styles
Flush inlay prints a smooth face; layered gives a stepped relief look.
Tips
Bold fonts and shapes with thick strokes give the strongest keychains.
Keep the tab hole at least 4 mm so a ring fits.
