Helpful tips to get the best portrait of your pet.

Why the Photo Matters

Your portrait is created from the photo you upload. The clearer and higher quality the photo is, the better the final portrait will look. Following the tips below will help us create the most beautiful artwork of your pet.

1. Use Natural Lighting

Good lighting is one of the most important factors.

Best options:

•Take the photo outdoors
•Take the photo near a window
•Use natural daylight

Avoid:

•Dark rooms
•Heavy shadows
•Flash photography

2. Get Eye-Level With Your Pet

Photos taken at your pet's eye level create the most natural and flattering portraits.

Best options:

•Kneel down to your pet's height
•Try to capture their face straight-on
•Make sure both eyes are visible if possible

3. Make Sure the Photo Is In Focus

Your pet's face should be sharp and clear.

Avoid:

•Blurry
•Too far away
•Low resolution
•Screenshots of other photos

4. Show the Full Face

For the best portrait, we recommend photos that clearly show your pet's face.

Great photos include:

•The full face
•Clear eyes
•Ears visible
•Natural expression

Avoid photos where:

•The face is partially hidden
•The pet is looking away
•Objects block the face

5. Simple Backgrounds Work Best

Busy backgrounds can distract from your pet.

Best backgrounds:

•Grass
•Neutral walls
•Floors
•Simple outdoor settings

Avoid:

•Crowded backgrounds
•Other animals covering your pet
•Objects blocking the view

6. Take Multiple Photos

If possible, take several photos and choose the clearest one.

Helpful tricks:

•Use a treat or toy to get their attention
•Take photos in burst mode
•Pick the photo where their eyes are most visible

Recommended Photo Examples

Great photos usually have:

•Bright natural lighting
•A clear, sharp face
