From one favorite photo to a custom pencil-style portrait. We use an AI-assisted digital art process with human review, and every order is checked, proofed, and approved before production.

The Process
Five Simple Steps, Start to Finish
You are checked in at every stage. Nothing goes to production until you have seen and approved your proof.
1
Choose your portrait
Pick the format that fits your pet, your wall, or your gift.
- Canvas: ready to hang
- Framed Canvas: our pick
- Digital file: optional +$24.95 add-on
2
Upload your favorite pet photo
You can upload your photo while ordering or send it later after checkout. A clear, well-lit photo works best. If you're not sure whether your photo is good enough, send the best one you have. We'll check it before starting.
- Clear face
- Good lighting
- No heavy blur
- Eyes visible
- Original full-size image preferred
3
We create your digital proof
We turn your photo into a custom pencil-style portrait using an AI-assisted digital art process, then a real person reviews and refines it before we send you a digital proof. Nothing is produced until you've approved it.
You see the artwork first. Nothing is printed before proof review, so you know exactly what you're getting before production begins.
4
You approve or request one free re-do
Not quite right? One free re-do (a fresh new take) is included with every order. Your portrait is never sent to production until you approve your digital proof, so if you need more time your order simply waits for you.
5
We produce and deliver your portrait
Once approved, your portrait is produced and shipped. Canvas and framed portraits are delivered in approximately 5–10 business days after approval.
- Free shipping
- Tracking for physical orders
- Digital add-on file by email after approval

Photo Guide
A Better Photo Means a Better Portrait
Clear face
Your pet's face should be visible and in focus.
Good lighting
Natural daylight works best. Avoid harsh shadows.
No heavy blur
Sharp photos help capture more detail.
Eyes visible
Eyes bring the portrait to life.
High resolution
Use the original full-size image whenever possible.
Not sure if your photo is good enough? Send it anyway. We'll review it before starting and contact you if we need a better one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order now and send my photo later?
Yes. Choose "send photo later" and we'll guide you after checkout.
What portrait styles do you offer?
Every portrait comes in two pencil styles: graphite pencil (classic black-and-grey) and colored pencil (the same hand-finished look in natural color). Both are made from your photo, in the same sizes and at the same price.
What photo works best?
A clear, well-lit image where your pet's face is visible and in focus.
Do I get to approve the portrait?
Yes. We send a digital proof before production.
Can I request changes?
Yes. One free re-do is included.
When does production begin?
Production begins only after you approve your digital proof. If we don't hear back, your order stays awaiting approval, so nothing is printed until you say yes.
How long does delivery take?
Approximately 5–10 business days after approval.
What if my print arrives damaged?
We'll replace it or refund you if it arrives damaged, misprinted, or meaningfully different from your approved proof.
