How It Works

Step-by-Step Transformation
See your pet take shape, one area at a time. From their markings to their posture to the look you know so well. The process is steady and rewarding, turning a favorite photo into something you built with time, focus, and a bit of instinct.
Everything You Need, Included
Each Custom Paint By Numbers Pets kit is ready to go right out of the box and includes:
- A pre-numbered, high-quality canvas
- A full set of numbered acrylic paint pots
- Three detail brushes in varied sizes
- A reference sheet to help guide you while painting
- A hanging kit to display your finished piece
- Optional DIY frame (if selected)

Structure Without Limitation
Each Custom Paint By Numbers Pets kit is designed to balance clarity with creativity. The outlines are pre-printed, the paints are ready, and every color is mapped to your favorite animal. There’s no need to measure or mix, just follow the layout at your pace. It’s a process that keeps things simple but still feels satisfying to work through.
Upload Tips That Make a Difference
What Works Best
For a great-looking painting, try to choose a photo that is:
✔️ Bright and naturally lit
✔️ A close-up showing clear faces
✔️ Featuring 1–3 people or pets
✔️ Clean background without clutter
What to Avoid
To keep your final result crisp and accurate, try to avoid:
❌ Dark or low-quality lighting
❌ Subjects too far from the camera
❌ Group shots with too many faces
❌ Busy or distracting backgrounds
Built to Keep You Coming Back
Painting your own pet isn’t something you rush through, and that’s the point. Their markings, features, and expression take shape slowly, but that’s what makes the process satisfying. Each session brings out more of what you recognize, and the more you work on it, the more familiar it starts to feel. It’s the kind of project that rewards patience and makes it easy to pick up where you left off.

I had a blast doing it. Highly recommend if you wanna turn your pets into wall-worthy art.

Elaine T.
Such a peaceful piece to work on. The shading around the horse’s face made it feel really lifelike, and the greens in the background were super satisfying to fill in.

Jordan M.
So cute and detailed. Super happy with the result.

Carla D.
Great detail and fun to paint. The fur took a little time but really pops, and the tongue is my favorite part. Looks just like him!

Rosie Pineda
Nice balance of detail and color. The background was fun to work on, and Max’s little face turned out so clear. Really happy with the final look.

Marta Barnard
Simple to follow and came out just like him. The shades worked well together and the result looks great up close.

The detail in the fur turned out better than I expected, and the warm colors were super satisfying to work with. Can’t wait to hang it up.

Heather J.
Loved how the background turned out. The tones made the dog stand out really well. Overall, easy to follow and super satisfying to complete.

Jenna M.
This kit was such a vibe. The cat’s face came out super expressive. Some of the dark areas were a bit tricky, but once it all came together. Felt really chill to work on. Definitely one I’d do again.

William P.
A lot of tiny details, but so far it’s looking amazing. Definitely takes time and patience, but I’m loving the process and can’t wait to see it finished.

Sam L.
Painted this of our boy Scout and I’m honestly obsessed with how it turned out. The field background was super fun to fill in, and it actually looks like him, right down to the ears and tongue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of photos work best?
Bright, clear, and close-up images are ideal! Make sure your subject is well lit and not blurry. For best results, avoid photos that are dark, heavily filtered, or taken from far away.
Can I use a group photo?
We recommend 1–3 people or pets in the frame. More than that can make the details hard to paint clearly.
Do you edit the photo before turning it into a canvas?
Yes! We do basic adjustments like cropping, brightness tuning, and background simplification to ensure your kit turns out great.
How long does it take to complete?
It depends on the size and detail, but most people finish theirs in about 9 to 15 hours. No rush, just enjoy the process!
Can kids do this too?
Absolutely! While some kits are more detailed, they’re great for all ages. Just choose a simpler image or smaller size for younger painters.
What if I mess up while painting?
Totally fine, it happens! Our acrylic paints are easy to layer and fix, just let it dry and paint over any oopsies. Plus, every kit comes with a reference sheet (a smaller version of your canvas with all the numbers), so you can always double-check where each color goes.
