Styles
Five looks, the same faces
Every style keeps what makes the photo theirs: faces, markings, the collar and the tongue out. The style changes how it is painted.
Line art
Fine black ink on white.
Cartoon
Bright, bold and friendly.
Minimal
A few flat shapes, muted colours.
Pop art
Screen-print colours, halftone dots.
Frame sizes
Sized for the frame
Pick the frame before you start. The portrait is painted for its shape and delivered at print resolution, so a print shop takes it as it is.

How it works
From the camera roll to the wall
No painting skills, no resizing, no guessing at print resolution. You choose the style and the frame.
Upload a photo
A pet, a person, a couple, a whole family. The photo is never cropped before it is painted, so nobody loses a head or a tail.
Pick a style and a frame
One of 5 styles and one of 3 frame sizes. The portrait is painted for the frame's shape and enlarged to print size.
Print and frame it
Download the print file and send it to any print shop or photo lab, or print it at home on good paper.
Who it's for

A pet you miss
A favourite photo of a pet who is gone, painted for the wall rather than left in a folder.
Your own walls

FAQ
Before you frame it
What does it cost?+
5 credits a portrait, whatever the style or frame size. Signing up gives you 10 credits (2 portraits) with no card.
Will it look like my dog?+
That is what the styles are built around: the face, the markings and the details people notice, like a collar or a tongue out, are kept. The best results come from a sharp photo with the face clearly visible.
Does it work for people too?+
Yes: one person, a couple or a whole family, with or without the pets. The photo is fitted to the frame without cropping, so everyone in it is painted; only a thin edge of the finished painting is trimmed.
How do I print it?+
Send the print file to any print shop or photo lab and ask for the size you picked. It is made at 300 dpi with that written into the file, so it prints at the right size without resizing.
Can I get a different crop?+
The artwork file is the whole painting before it was cut to the frame, so you or a print shop can crop it another way.
Who can see my photos?+
Only you. Portraits are private to your account and never appear in the public catalogue.
Can I sell the portraits I make?+
Yes. The portrait is yours: sell the print or the file, or take commissions with it, on every plan, including the free one, with no licence to buy. The one condition is that you hold the rights to the photo you started from.
