Which pet photos work best?
Pet photo tips: close-up and in focus, daylight, eye level and a simple background work best. Avoid tiny pets, strong backlight, blur and covered eyes.
  • Eyes in focus, taken at your pet's eye level
  • Daylight, no flash, so fur colors stay true
  • Remembering a pet who passed? Upload the best photo you have. You'll see the free design preview before anything is printed.

Up close

Looks like your pet, not a pattern

We simplify your photo into clear shapes and match the yarn to fur, ears and those eyes, so the finished piece looks like your dog or cat, not a generic pattern.

Every color area is filled with plush yarn loops you can actually touch.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Will it really look like my pet?

Yes. We optimize your photo by hand (crop, contrast, colors) into a stitch-ready design and email you a free design preview within 24 hours, before anything is printed. You can ask for changes before you approve. The finished piece is a stylized, textured portrait, not a photo print.

Do I need any crafting experience?

No. Push the needle through the canvas, pull it back, move one step, repeat. The illustrated guide is written for complete beginners. Mistakes are easy to undo: pull the loops out and punch again.

What if my photo isn't perfect?

A sharp phone photo is all you need. We simplify every photo into clear shapes by hand and send you a free design preview before anything is printed. If something looks off, ask for changes or send a different photo before you approve. For extra peace of mind, add the Photo Check (+$5): one of our experts checks and approves your photo before production.

Do I see the preview before I pay?

You place your order with your photo, and we email your free design preview within 24 hours. You can ask for changes before you approve, and nothing is printed until you do.

Which size should I choose?

Small (16 × 20 in) for one pet. Medium (20 × 24 in) for two pets, our most popular size. Large (24 × 32 in) for three to five pets. More than five? Email us your photo first. Every size includes the frame.

How long does it take to stitch?

It depends on the size and how much detail your photo has. Medium and Large take longer because there's more to fill. It's meant to be enjoyable, not fast.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. Give the kit so they enjoy the making, or stitch it yourself and give the finished artwork. You can ship it straight to the recipient by entering their address at checkout. Your design preview is emailed to you, not to them, so the surprise stays safe.

Can I use any photo?

Please use photos you took yourself or have permission to use, for example a wedding photo with your photographer's OK. We can't turn paintings or illustrations by other artists into kits.
