How It Works, Start to Finish

Upload one photo, see a styled portrait in seconds, order it printed. The whole flow.

Three steps, and the only thing you need to start is one photo.

1. Upload a Photo

Pick a clear, well-lit photo of the subject — a person, the whole family, or a pet. Phone snapshots are welcome. We accept JPEG, PNG, and HEIC up to 20MB, and no account is needed to start.

2. Pick Your Style

Choose from 29 curated art styles: watercolor, oil painting, photorealistic, sketch, pop art, Renaissance, royal portrait, comic book hero, and more, including a set built specifically for pets. Your photo becomes a portrait in that style within seconds, right in the browser.

The first 3 previews are free with no signup, and 10 once you're signed in, so you can compare a couple of styles before committing. The face, hair, and expression stay recognizable — only the medium changes.

3. Print It

Once you've got a portrait you like, choose what to put it on: a greeting card, canvas wall art, a framed print, an acrylic print, a mug, a tumbler, a sherpa blanket, a throw pillow, coasters, a tote, or just the digital file. Add it to the cart, enter your shipping details, and pay through Stripe.

What Happens Next

Your order goes to our US print partner. Items are made to order in 3–4 days, then Standard shipping arrives in 3–7 business days; Expedited and Overnight are available at checkout. Every order also includes the digital portrait file, and every print is backed by our 14-day happiness guarantee.
