The best starting point for a pet photo print is a picture that feels like your pet: the expression you recognise, their familiar markings or the way they sit and look at you. Before adding a name or message, take a moment to compare the photographs you already have.
Our Personalised Pet Photo Print uses your uploaded image, with an optional pet name and second line of text. This guide helps you prepare those details. You can find it alongside other custom keepsakes in our family prints collection.
Choose a photograph with the features you want to remember
Start by deciding what matters in the picture. If it is your pet’s expression, look closely at the eyes and face. If distinctive coat markings are part of what you love, choose a photograph where they are visible. A photograph can be meaningful even when it is not a studio portrait, but important details should be easy to see.
Compare two or three possible pictures at a larger size on your device. Look for motion blur, deep shadows across the face or another object covering the features you want included. Brightness alone is not the goal: an image with a very pale, washed-out face can lose detail too.
A practical upload-quality checklist
- Start with the original file if you have it. A screenshot or a picture saved repeatedly through messaging apps may contain less detail than the original photograph.
- Keep room around your pet. Check that ears, paws or other features you care about are not already cut off at the edge. Missing details cannot be judged from a cropped-out area.
- Look beyond the thumbnail. Open the image itself and check that the features remain clear when viewed larger.
- For more than one pet, check the whole group. If you want to use a photograph with several pets, make sure each intended pet is visible. Ask us before ordering if you need separate photographs combined.
- Raise doubts before you buy. If you are choosing between an old treasured photograph and a clearer recent one, contact us about the image rather than assuming what can be restored or changed.
These are photo-selection tips, not a published minimum pixel count or a guarantee that every file is suitable. Follow the current upload field and ask about a file you are unsure of.
Add the name and message you want to see
The current form has an optional pet-name field and an optional second line. The name field is set to a maximum of 30 characters and the second line to 100 characters. Recheck the live fields when ordering, and keep the wording short enough to read comfortably in the chosen design.
A pet’s name can be enough. If you want a second line, choose something that suits the occasion: a familiar nickname, a simple expression of affection or a short remembrance. The Riley example uses “Forever loyal, forever loved”. Treat that as inspiration, rather than wording you must choose.
Check the spelling of every name and any dates you decide to include in your own text. The form also requires an image upload and an email address for proofing. Use an address you can access; if timing matters, ask before ordering rather than assuming a proofing deadline or a particular number of revisions.
Check the size and the occasion
The product currently offers A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 sizes. Measure the display space and check any frame or mount you plan to use. Styled catalogue photographs do not establish that a frame is included.
This is a personalised printed product based on your photograph. The examples do not establish that you are buying an original hand-painted picture. Free worldwide standard shipping is included with physical orders; see our current delivery information and returns information.
Once you have chosen the photograph, optional wording and size, open the pet photo print and check the current fields before completing your order.
