Tips for a better photo
  • Daylight from a window beats flash. Flash flattens fur and makes eyes glow.
  • Get down to eye level with your pet. A photo taken from above makes the head look small.
  • Fill the frame: the face and shoulders should take up most of the picture.
  • Keep whiskers and ears inside the frame and in focus. Wait for a sharp shot, not a perfect pose.
  • One pet per photo gives the cleanest result. Use a second photo for another pet.

Photographing a dog who will not sit still

Take the picture after a walk, when your dog is calm, or while they wait for a treat you are holding just above the lens. Shoot in a burst and keep the frame where the eyes are sharp. A dog looking slightly past the camera often looks thoughtful in a painted style.

Dark coats and light coats

Black and very dark brown coats lose detail in shadow, and the painted styles darken the image further. Photograph a dark dog near a window, not against one, so there is light on the face. White and cream coats can blow out in bright sun, so open shade works better. The oil styles add warmth, which flatters both.

Ears, tongues and tails

Floppy ears and a happy tongue are part of the character, so leave them in. For a formal court look, a closed mouth and ears at rest read as dignified. For a card, the open-mouth grin is the better choice. Crop at the chest and the portrait frames fit well; a full-body photo works in the 4:5 crop.

Which style suits which dog?

Stately dogs suit the royal court portrait. A scruffy character looks good in the pop-art poster. A senior dog with a grey muzzle looks lovely in the watercolor. Try them all, it takes seconds.

Questions people ask

How do I turn a dog photo into a portrait?

Add the photo above, choose a style and look at the preview. Download the watermarked PNG for free. The full AI portrait is planned and not available yet.

What is the best dog photo for a portrait?

A sharp, daylight photo from your dog’s eye level with the face filling the frame. Catch a calm moment, not a mid-run blur.

Does the style work for black dogs?

Yes, but give the face some light. A dark dog photographed in shadow loses its eyes and nose. Daylight beside a window keeps them visible.

Can I add my dog’s name?

Yes. Type it in the name box and it is added on a plaque or on a card line. The name is only used to draw the preview in your browser and is never sent to the site.

Can I put two dogs in one picture?

The preview takes one photo at a time. Two pets in one portrait is not available yet (coming soon); it is planned for the Up to 3 styles / 2 pets plan.
