Pet Portrait Image Guidelines for PetPrint.io
At PetPrint.io, we're passionate about creating stunning, high-quality pet portraits that capture the unique personality of your furry friends. To ensure the best possible results, we've put together these guidelines to help you choose the perfect photo for your pet's portrait.
Choosing the Right Photo
- High Resolution: Select a clear, high-resolution image. The higher the quality, the better the final portrait will be.
- Good Lighting: Natural light works best. Avoid harsh shadows or overly bright areas.
- Focus on the Face: The pet's face should be the main focus, with eyes clearly visible and in sharp focus.
- Neutral Background: A simple, uncluttered background helps keep the focus on your pet.
- Natural Pose: Choose a photo where your pet looks relaxed and natural, not overly posed or in costume.
What to Avoid
- Blurry or out-of-focus images
- Photos with multiple pets (unless you're ordering a multi-pet portrait)
- Images where the pet is too far away
- Heavily filtered or edited photos
Tips for Different Pet Types
Dogs
- Capture their expression, whether it's a happy smile or an alert, attentive look
- Include unique features like floppy ears or distinctive markings
Cats
- Look for photos that showcase their eyes and whiskers
- Capture their typical poses, whether lounging or alert
Other Pets
- For birds, reptiles, or small mammals, ensure their distinctive features are clearly visible
- Consider their natural habitat or favorite perch for context
Preparing Your Photo
- File Format: JPEG or PNG formats are preferred
- Size: Aim for at least 1500 pixels on the longest side
- Orientation: Both portrait and landscape orientations work well
