Pet Portrait from Photo

This is an AI pet portrait generator: you give it one photograph, it gives you back a painted portrait. This page is the honest version — how it actually works, what it costs, and what it cannot do, so you can decide before uploading anything rather than after paying.

How it works

Your photo goes to a hosted AI image model along with a prompt describing the style you picked and an explicit instruction to keep your pet's own coat color, markings, eye color, ear shape and face proportions. The model repaints your pet in that style. In our own testing the preview came back in about 15 to 25 seconds. Every account gets 2 free watermarked previews; unlocking one into a high-resolution file without the watermark costs a single credit.

You get the exact image you previewed

Worth stating because it is not how every generator works: unlocking does not re-run the model. The portrait you approved in the preview is the file you download — same image, just without the watermark and at a larger size. Nothing is regenerated behind the scenes, so there is no chance of paying for a version you have not seen.

What it is good at

Preserving identity. Coat color, markings and their placement, ear shape, eye color and face proportions are written into the prompt as hard constraints, which is the thing that actually matters — a portrait that looks like a different animal of the same breed is worthless to an owner. It also copes with awkward source photos: profile shots, lying-down poses and black-and-white originals are usually reinterpreted sensibly.

What it is not good at

Precise composition control. If your photo contains two pets, you will usually get both, even though the style asks for a single head-and-shoulders portrait — the reference photo wins over the composition instruction. It also cannot produce genuinely large print files: portraits are generated at 1024×1024 and enlarged for download, which is fine for a standard frame and not for a poster. And output is probabilistic, so the same photo and style can give different results on different runs.

Why there is a free preview

Because AI output is unpredictable, asking anyone to pay before seeing their own pet would be unreasonable — hence the 2 free previews, which exist so you judge the result on your own animal rather than on our examples. It is also why our refund policy draws the line where it does: a broken or unusable file is refunded, a result you saw in the preview and then chose to unlock is not.

Choosing a photo

  • One clear, reasonably lit photo with the face in focus is all that is needed.
  • You do not need a professional photo — an ordinary phone snapshot works.
  • Photos that are very dark, heavily blurred, or where your pet is small in the frame give the weakest results.

Frequently asked

Is it free?
Partly. Every account gets 2 free watermarked previews — enough to see your own pet in a style before spending anything, not enough to browse all eight. Unlocking a high-resolution, watermark-free download costs one credit, bought in a one-off pack, and credits are valid for 30 days from purchase. There is no subscription.
Do you use my photos to train your models?
We do not use your photographs or generated portraits to train models, and we will not publish them anywhere without your explicit permission. Making the portrait at all does mean the photograph is sent to a third-party image model — that is what generation is — and we send only the photograph and the style prompt, never your name, email or payment details. The full detail is in our privacy policy and terms.
Which AI model do you use?
We route generation through a hosted image model rather than running our own — currently one of the Gemini image models. The same model produces your preview and your final file, which is what lets us promise the download matches what you approved.
