1. Choose Your Portrait Style

From regal Renaissance to hilarious superhero themes, start by selecting the portrait style that fits your pet’s personality best.

On the left side of the image, a photo grid displays nine different pictures of the same small black dog in various locations. On the right side, a person’s hand holds an iPhone, capturing a photo of the dog from their point of view. These images serve as examples of good photos to use on the website.

2. Upload the Perfect Pet Photo

Use a well-lit, front-facing image of your pet. Natural lighting and sharp resolution work best — this helps us capture your pet’s personality in detail.

A computer screen displays four oil painting-style images of a small black dog. Hands rest on a keyboard in front of the screen. The setting appears to be a home office.

3. Approve & Receive Your Art

Once our artists create your custom portrait, you’ll receive a preview. You can request revisions or approve for print. Then, we ship your masterpiece right to your door.
