Photo Guide

Choosing the Best Photo

Your custom piece is only as good as the photo you upload. A couple of minutes here saves disappointment later — and helps your pet look incredible.

What makes a great photo

  • Good natural light — soft daylight near a window beats flash.
  • Shot at your pet's eye level — get down to their height.
  • High resolution — the original photo, not a screenshot or a zoomed-in crop.
  • Sharp, not blurry — make sure their face is in focus.
  • Facing the camera or slightly to one side, with both eyes visible.

What to avoid

  • Blurry or dark photos — detail can't be recovered.
  • Taken from above — distorts their proportions.
  • Screenshots — too low-resolution to print well.
  • Awkward posture or face turned too far away.
  • Eyes or features cut off / missing — we need the whole face.

Following these tips is the single best thing you can do for your order. As noted in our refund policy, low-quality uploads produce lower-quality results and aren't grounds for a refund — so pick a great photo and let's make something beautiful.
