What is Mypawtrait?

MyPawtrait creates beautiful custom pet portraits using a blend of advanced digital artistry, creative enhancement, and professional print expertise. We transform your favourite pet photos into premium quality artwork designed to become lasting keepsakes for your home.

How do I place an order?

Simply select your preferred pawtrait style, upload your chosen photo, choose which size you would like, and framing options, then complete checkout through our secure online store.

What pets can you create pawtraits for?

We can create pawtraits for almost any pet, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, and more. If you have a unique pet, feel free to contact us before ordering.

Are your pawtraits handmade?

Every pawtrait is individually created and professionally refined by our design team to ensure your pet’s personality, markings, and features are accurately captured. No two pawtraits are ever identical.

How do you produce my pawtrait?

We print the pawtraits using a 7 colour pigmented ink system which projects incredibly vibrant colours which has an extremely high resistance to light and a strong scratch resistance.

We print onto the finest bright white 260gsm lustre paper which has an instant dry coating that is water and smudge resistant. It has a polyethylene back layer to prevent cockling which is really important when framing a print.

Should you choose the framed option, we offer a high quality aluminium black frame with a profile which is approximately 9mm wide by 21mm deep. It comes supplied with acrylic safety glazing which is very difficult to break and just as clear as glass. It can be hung horizontally or landscape.

Do you use AI?

Yes.

We use AI as part of a modern, efficient creative process. It allows us to generate the initial artwork framework quickly and cost-effectively.

AI is a tool, just like a camera, a graphics tablet, or Photoshop.  

Just like photographers use cameras and designers use Photoshop. It’s a tool, not a shortcut.  We use it to help build the foundation of each pawtrait, but that’s only the beginning of the process.

We use AI to generate an artistic base, but every pawtrait is refined, adjusted, colour-corrected, and quality-checked using Photoshop and Illustrator.

We ensure the final piece genuinely looks like your pet, not a generic template.

Using AI allows us to:

Offer beautifully personalised artwork

Keep our pawtraits affordable

Provide a wide range of artistic styles

Deliver faster turnaround times

Commissioning a fully hand-painted portrait from a traditional artist can cost hundreds (sometimes thousands) of pounds and could take weeks or months.

Our approach allows us to offer personalised pet pawtraits at a more accessible price point, without long waiting times.

With the amount of orders we receive daily, it would be impossible to produce the high level of artwork in a timely and cost effective manner without using AI.

Think of AI as our digital paintbrush, the artistry is still in how it’s used.

Can you combine multiple pets into one pawtrait?

Yes. We can combine multiple pets into a single pawtrait, even if they are in separate photos.

Can I request changes after ordering?

Yes, absolutely. We want you to love your pawtrait. We will email you a proof of your pawtrait and offer revision opportunities during the design process to make reasonable adjustments where needed.

How long does it take to delivery my pawtrait?

All orders are processed within 3-5 business days. Orders are not shipped or delivered on weekends or holidays. If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days.

Can I cancel my order?

You can cancel your order within 3 hours of ordering free of charge. After this time we have more than likely started work on your pets' pawtrait. After this point if you still wish to cancel there will be a £10 cancellation fee per pet.

Can I return my order?

Due to the personalised nature of your pawtrait, the product is unique to your order and a return cannot be accepted. Please refer to our returns and refund policy here: Returns and refund policy

Do you offer refunds?

As all pawtraits are personalised custom products, refunds are generally not available once artwork creation has begun. However, if there is a fault or issue with your order, we will work with you to find a fair solution.
