Tips for the Perfect Pet Photo

The quality of your portrait starts with the quality of your photo. Here are our top tips for getting the best results.

Do's

• Use natural lighting (near a window or outdoors)
• Get a close-up of your pet's face
• Make sure the photo is in focus and not blurry
• Capture your pet looking at the camera if possible
• Use the highest resolution your phone or camera allows

Don'ts

• Avoid dark or heavily shadowed photos
• Do not use photos where your pet is very far away
• Avoid photos with heavy filters applied
• Do not crop the photo too tightly around the face
• Avoid group photos where pets overlap each other

Accepted Formats

We accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC files. For the best quality, use a photo that is at least 1200 pixels wide.
