PHOTO GUIDE

A great custom piece 

strarts with a great photo.

Follow these simple tips to help us capture the details, personality, and little features that make your pet uniquely yours.

Our Top Tips

Good lighting

Natural daylight works best.
Avoid photos that are too dark, strongly backlit, or heavily shadowed.

Clear & in focus

Make sure your pet is sharp and easy to see. Blurry photos can make small details harder to capture.

Show their face clearly

Keep the eyes, nose, ears, and other distinctive features visible whenever possible.

Keep it natural

Choose a photo that really looks like them — their expression, markings, and little quirks are what make the finished piece special.

Good photo examples

Clear, well-lit, and in focus, with your pet’s face and key features easy to see and unobstructed.

Photos to avoid

Too dark, blurry, heavily filtered, far away, or with your pet’s face or key features hidden or cropped.

Not every photo has to be perfect. If you’re unsure, send us the best photo you have and we’ll do our best to work with it.

A Few More Things to Know

Multiple pets

Ordering with more than one pet? Separate photos are completely fine — and often even better. Just make sure each pet is clear and easy to see.

Skip heavy filters

Please avoid beauty filters, color-changing filters, stickers, or effects that alter your pet’s natural appearance.

Use the original photo

Whenever possible, upload the original image from your phone or camera. Screenshots and compressed social media images may lose detail.

Don’t worry about the background

A simple background is helpful, but your pet is what matters most. Focus on choosing the clearest photo of them.

PHOTO NOTE

Different products, different photo needs.

If a product page includes specific photo instructions, please follow those first.

For example, some designs may work best with a clear face photo, while others may benefit from showing more of your pet.
