Before you begin

Is it really free to see?

Your first two previews are free, with no card or account needed. See your pet’s portrait with a watermark before deciding. Keep the digital file for €15 or choose the compact mounted frame for €99.

My photo is not very good. Does that matter?

A phone photo is enough when their face is clear. Choose one with visible eyes, nose, ears and coat markings, ideally in daylight. Avoid blur, heavy filters and very dark shots. For an older photograph, use the clearest original you have; the studio will flag photos it cannot use.

The photo guide, with four real before-and-after pairs →

What if it does not look like them?

Tell us what missed in the correction box beneath your preview: the white is only on his left front leg, or her nose is black, not brown. Corrections using the same photo and setting are free. Another photo or setting uses a new preview. Check the result before buying; if you need help with a portrait or an existing print order, contact our support desk.

When can I download my portrait?

Your digital file is ready from the order page after payment is confirmed, and a download link is emailed to you. Save it to your device. If the email or link is missing, return to your order or contact support.

Can I give it as a gift?

Upload a photo of their pet and review the painting before buying. For a print, tick this is a gift, add your note and use the recipient’s delivery address. For a digital gift, choose The Digital Portrait; the file comes to your checkout email for you to share. A print purchase does not include the downloadable file.

Are these real places?

The seventeen Marrakech settings include named landmarks and areas plus representative café, palm-avenue and adobe-wall scenes. Map markers locate a place or area, not a precise photographic viewpoint. Royal portraits and Marrakech Stories are imagined settings, labelled as such. Every portrait is AI-created artwork, not a photograph taken at the location.

I have two. Can they be in it together?

Each portrait features one pet. Upload a separate photo for each, then choose the same place and style to make a matching pair. The digital files are suitable for screens and personal sharing. Each portrait is purchased separately.

Why not just ask ChatGPT to do this?

See your own pet in a Marrakech setting, compare the portrait with your photo and correct the likeness before buying. Settings and painting styles are ready to choose. A general image tool is another option; neither process guarantees an exact likeness.

Preparing the studio...

Step one

Who are we painting?

Choose a clear photo with their eyes, ears and coat markings visible. A phone photo in natural daylight works well.

or
Example of a clear pet photo with visible eyes, ears and coat markings

A phone photo is enough. Choose one with clear eyes, visible ears and natural daylight. Avoid blur, heavy filters and hidden faces.

Help choosing a photo

Compare up to four photos for sharpness, lighting and resolution. This free check runs on your device; comparison photos are not uploaded. Only the photo you choose enters the portrait flow.

It cannot recognise your pet’s face or judge likeness. Prefer visible eyes and ears, natural coat colour and a face that fills the photo. A detailed background can score well even when the pet is blurred.

Head and shouldersClose, facing you or three-quarters on. Full-body shots lose the face
Daylight, no flashA window beats a lamp, a lamp beats a flash. Flash flattens fur
Sharp eyesCheck the eyes and coat markings are sharp, with the whole face visible.

Clear eyes, visible ears and natural daylight help preserve their markings. If you need help choosing a photo, write to us.

Step two

Choose their look

Choose a Marrakech landmark, city scene or imagined portrait setting. Then choose a painting style.

Step three · Preview

Now make it real

Your request is being prepared. You’ll inspect the finished portrait before deciding whether to keep it.

Reopening a pending preview checks the same request without starting another painting.
