Photo Tips for the Best Portrait

Your photo is the most important part of your order—it directly impacts the final artwork. For the best results:

  • Use natural light or a bright room.
  • Make sure the image is clear and high-resolution.
  • Show your pet’s full face and neck, with no harsh shadows.
  • Avoid heavy filters—natural coloring works best.

Note: We don’t include collars, outfits, or props—just your pet’s face and personality.

Not Sure If Your Photo Will Work?

  • If you’re unsure about your photo, feel free to email it to us at hello@petstrokes.com and we’ll gladly take a look. We often create portraits of pets who’ve passed on, so we understand that following every photo guideline isn’t always possible.

    In many cases, our artists can still work their magic.
