Personalized Cat Portrait on Canvas

A cat doesn't pose on command: they look at you when they've decided to. Good news: one good photo is all you need. Your personalized cat portrait is made to order from that image, then printed on canvas, on a poster, on a mug or a blanket. The preview appears in 20 to 30 seconds, free of charge, before you pay and without an account.

Photographing a cat: 5 tips

• Pick the right moment. After a meal or just after a nap, they move less.
• Follow the light. The windowsill they love also offers the softest light. No flash: it makes the eyes shine.
• Get down to their level. Lie on the floor, facing their eyes.
• Catch their attention. Crumple some paper above the lens, then take the shot.
• Switch to burst mode. In the series, one photo will often be sharp, with the eyes wide open.

It's all in the eyes

For a cat portrait from a photo, the gaze matters more than anything. Tap the screen on their eyes to focus. In daylight, their pupils narrow and the color of their eyes stands out better. Don't crop their ears or their whiskers.

Tabby, black, white: which style for their coat?

• Tabby cat: the Realistic style captures every stripe; Charcoal, a charcoal-style black and white, makes the markings more graphic.
• Black cat: a photo near a window, with light from the side, brings out the texture of the coat and the eyes. Realistic is a good starting point.
• White cat: avoid direct sunlight and white backgrounds, which wash out the outline. Watercolor and its soft tones suit them beautifully.
• Orange or calico cat: Watercolor and Realistic bring out the shades of color.
• Cat with plenty of attitude: Royal Pet portrays them in royal costume. For a playful touch, Cartoon adds their name.

Can't decide? Try both styles: the preview is free.

Where should you hang your personalized cat painting?

An indoor cat has its favorite spots: the windowsill, an armchair, the top of the bookcase. Their portrait naturally belongs near those places.

• 30×40 cm: a reading corner, a shelf, a desk.
• 40×60 cm: above a dresser or a bed.
• 60×80 cm: above a sofa or on a large wall.

Prefer a poster? Available in 20×30, 30×40 or 40×60 cm, framed or unframed.

Your personalized cat canvas is printed individually with a matte finish and mounted on a 2 cm wooden frame. It arrives ready to hang, with its hanging kit included, no tools needed: 2 minutes and it's on the wall. Colors guaranteed for life.

Frequently asked questions

My cat never looks at the camera. Can my photo still work?

Yes. A slightly sideways look often makes a lovely cat portrait from a photo, as long as their head is whole, sharp and well lit. The free preview confirms it in 20 to 30 seconds.

Their eyes are shiny or red in the photo. What should I do?

That's the flash. Retake the photo in daylight, without flash, or choose another one.

Which style makes a good personalized gift for a cat lover?

If you don't know their taste well, Realistic and Watercolor blend in easily; Royal Pet will make someone with a sense of humor smile. A personalized cat painting is about their own cat: that's what makes this personalized gift so touching.

Can you do a portrait of a kitten or an older cat?

Of course: all you need is a sharp photo of their head. For a cat who has passed away, we've put together some advice for a memorial portrait.

What if the canvas has a defect?

If we make a mistake, we remake the canvas at our expense or refund you. As the canvas is personalized, we can't accept returns for a change of mind: the free preview is there so you can check the result before you pay.
