Not sure of what kind of pet photos to send to us?

At Petprintingco, our goal is to help you create a custom pet portrait that accurately captures your pet’s unique personality and characteristics. Our artists rely on the photos you provide us to reference and draw from. To help us accurately draw your pet, use this Image Submission Guideline page to submit images of your pet to us. Below are some tips you can follow to provide us high-quality images of your pet! With your help, we can create something that is unique to you and your pet!

Image Format

  • Please provide your pet’s photo in either .jpeg (.jpg) or .png format.

  • We do not accept other formats such as .raw, .pdf, .tiff, or .psd.

Subject Focus

  • Ensure your pet is the primary focus and occupies a majority of the frame.

  • Avoid distracting elements that block or are in the way of your pet.

  • Ensure your pet’s whole face & neck is visible and not in shadows

Background

  • A simple and uncluttered background often works best, this helps draw attention to the pet itself.

  • Avoid busy or distracting backgrounds that might affect your pet’s features.

Lighting

  • Indirect, natural even lighting is ideal.

  • Avoid any harsh shadows, excessive highlights, or overexposure that may obscure details.

Composition

  • Avoid using heavily filtered photos that may incorrectly capture your pet’s features and colors.

  • Your pet should be forward-facing, eye leveled and looking directly at the camera.

Image Quality

  • Avoid blurry and out of focus photos of your pet.

  • Crips, clear and high quality photos helps our artists paint a better and more accurate portrait of your pet.

  • Saturated images do not help us understand the true color of your pet.
