Turn Your Photo into a Custom Painting

Upload up to four photos and we compose them into a single painting — a couple who were never photographed together, two dogs who would not sit still at the same time, a family with the pet included.

Portraits with three or more subjects are generated with our higher-capability model, because the thing that goes wrong in group compositions is faces borrowing features from one another. It costs you nothing extra.

Archival paper means paper that is alkaline rather than acidic and low in lignin, because acid and lignin are what turn ordinary paper brown and brittle. It is a material specification, not a marketing adjective, and it is worth knowing what you are being sold.

The Library of Congress explains that paper degrades through "acid hydrolysis" driven by "acids from the environment... or from within the paper", and that mechanical pulping "does not remove lignin from the wood, which promotes acid hydrolysis" (Library of Congress). For anything meant to last, it recommends alkaline papers, noting that those "made of chemically purified wood pulp (high alpha cellulose) mixed with cotton... are recommended for permanent documents".

That is the specification we ask our print partners for: alkaline, high-cotton fine-art paper, or cotton canvas. Light and humidity still matter — the same source lists both among the causes of deterioration — so hang a portrait out of direct sun and it will outlast the phone the photo came from.

Your portrait is AI-created from the photo you upload, reviewed by a person on our team before anything is printed, and produced by professional print partners — it is not painted by hand. This is the part most sites in this category are vague about, so here it is plainly.

Your portrait is AI-created from the photo you upload, reviewed by a person on our team before anything is printed, and produced by professional print partners on archival fine-art paper or cotton canvas. No one paints it by hand. We do not use the words "hand-painted", "artist-painted" or "brush-painted" anywhere on this site, because they would not be true.

What you give up compared with a commissioned painter

• There is no artist making interpretive decisions about your subject, and no conversation with one.
• There is no original physical artwork — what you receive is a print.
• Unusual requests ("paint her as she looked ten years ago, from these three photos") are hit-and-miss in a way a painter's would not be.

What you get instead

• You see the result before you pay anything. A commission is agreed, deposited and waited for.
• $49 to $319 instead of $150 to $1,000 and up.
• Days, not weeks — and a 12-hour window to have the artwork remade free.

If what you want is a painting by a human being, we would honestly point you at a painter. If what you want is your dog on the wall looking like your dog, this is a much faster and cheaper way to get there.
