How to Take the Perfect Pet Photo

Last updated: June 2026

A great photo makes all the difference. Here are a few simple tips to help you choose a photo that will turn into a product you'll love.

Clear, sharp photo

Good Example

Your pet's face is sharp and in focus. Every detail shows clearly.

Blurry, out-of-focus photo

Avoid This

A blurry photo results in a blurry print. If it's not sharp on screen, it won't be sharp on the product.

Bright, well-lit photo

Good Example

Natural light or a well-lit room. Colors look true and details are visible.

Dark, shadowy photo

Avoid This

Dark photos lose detail and make the final product look muddy or dull.

Simple, clean background

Good Example

A clean background lets the pet shape stand out. A transparent PNG is ideal.

Busy, cluttered background

Avoid This

A busy background can interfere with the cutout process and add unwanted elements to the shape.

Single pet, face visible

Good Example

One pet per product works best. The face should be clearly visible and centered.

Multiple pets, small faces

Avoid This

Multiple pets make each face too small. For group photos, consider ordering one product per pet.

Tips for Each Product

A front-facing photo with ears visible works best. Very thin ears or tails may appear slightly softer in the finished pillow.

Any clear photo works. The full body shape is printed, so a side profile or sitting pose can look great.

Higher resolution photos produce sharper canvas prints. We recommend at least 1000x1000 pixels.
