Artwork Creation & Approval

The artwork creation and approval process generally takes 3-5 working days. You can help speed up the process by uploading a photo of your pet immediately after checkout ensuring that you follow our photo guidelines carefully.

The process may be delayed if you submit photos that do not fit our guidelines or if you request any changes to your order such as the design or size.

Photographs taken with the pet looking slightly to one side work best. Ensure that you only send us high quality photos that are taken close-up and show your pets head in full. Photos are not clear, or are blurry, and cannot be used.

If you want to check with us before you order, email us at hello@petportraitsco.com.

Photos are rejected when they're deemed unsuitable to be made into a high quality work of art. The most common reason is that the photo is of low quality or it was taken too far away from your pet. To ensure that your photo is not rejected, please follow our photo guidelines carefully:

  • Photos must include your pets head (and both ears) in full.
  • Use good quality images that are clear and taken in good light.
  • Pics taken with the pet looking slightly to one side work best.
  • Always take your photo at eye level.
  • Avoid using filters, let our expert artists do all the hard work for you!

Photos can be submitted using our photo upload page. Note that your order number is required when you send us a photo, this will have been emailed to you after checkout. The email also includes important instructions detailing how to take the best possible photo for your portrait - for best results be sure to follow these guidelines carefully.
