One photo of your pet is all a pet memorial portrait needs, with a free preview in the style you choose.
How it works
1. Pick a style
27 styles, from royal oil to fine line.
2. Add one photo
See your pet in that style in under a minute, free. Try other styles with the same photo.
3. Frame it
Pick a frame, size and name.
4. Proof, then print
A designer reviews your portrait for print quality, you approve a proof before anything goes to press, and it is printed in Australia.
Can I use an old photo of my pet?
Yes, any photo can be tried. The page flags an image that is too small or blurry at once, well before payment. Files may be JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 15 MB, and a phone photo is fine. For a clearer result, shoot in daylight with the flash off. Hold the lens level with your pet's eyes and keep them facing the camera. Fit the whole head in frame and move close enough that the eyes read clearly. One pet per photo.
Can I add their name and the years?
Yes, the name is free to add and runs to 24 characters. A small optional second line takes up to 32, which is where the years fit. You choose from 16 lettering styles on the style page, at your own pace. A line such as In loving memory prints only if you type it in. Our studio finishes the portrait, then adds the name in its own lettering, outside the picture and never inside it, so the spelling is always right. With a mount, the text lands inside the mount window on the same paper.
Which style suits a memorial portrait?
Start with Watercolour, Fine Line, Charcoal Study, The Royal or Old Master. Watercolour is the softest of them, with loose washes on white. Fine Line holds a single thin black line on a light paper you choose. Charcoal Study is grey and chalky. The Royal brings a crown, ruff and red velvet robe in an oil-painting look. Old Master sets warm light against a deep brown ground. For a pet memorial frame, an oak look suits Watercolour and black suits Fine Line or Charcoal Study. You can choose any colour.
How is each portrait made?
The process begins with one photo of your pet. It takes under a minute, and you see your pet in the style you chose, free, before you pay. After you order, one of our designers checks the file so it prints well. A proof follows, and nothing is printed until you approve it. It is printed in Australia, framed if you chose a frame. Each style has a painted or drawn look on matte art paper or canvas.
What if it does not look like my pet?
You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
How do I give one as a pet memorial gift?
Start by asking the owner for a photo of their pet that they like. Their pet's name can go on the portrait, with a small second line such as the years. You see the portrait in a free preview before you pay, and after you order you approve a proof before printing begins. If they had two pets, both can share one portrait, each from its own photo, at no extra cost.
When will I get my proof?
We email you a digital proof, and it arrives within 1 business day of your order. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
Can I change or cancel my order after I place it?
Yes. Before you approve your proof, changes are free, and you can cancel for a full refund. Printing starts once you approve your proof, so take your time with it.
Can I return my pet portrait if the print is not right?
Each portrait is made to order from your own photo, so we do not take change-of-mind returns. If the print itself is not right, for example a print fault or damage in transit, our Perfect Print Promise covers it. Tell us within 30 days of dispatch with a photo, and we reprint it free. The promise page also sets out the other options, store credit or a refund. A name or spelling you approved on your proof is not a print fault, and the reprint cost is shared.
Can I get a digital file of my pet portrait?
We do not supply a digital file. Your order is the printed portrait itself. The preview you see on screen carries a Paperlust watermark, and your printed portrait does not.

A portrait from a photo you love
A pet memorial portrait turns one photograph of your pet into a printed portrait you can keep. Upload it on the style page and a preview in your chosen style appears in under a minute. Looking costs nothing, and the watermark sits on the preview only. The print carries none. Our range of pet portraits covers every style.
The photo you send decides how much detail survives. Shoot in daylight with the flash off, and hold the camera level with your pet's eyes. Keep your pet facing you, the whole head in frame, close enough that the eyes show clearly. One pet per photo. Files can be JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 15 MB, and a phone photo is fine. If an image is too small or too soft, the upload flags it straight away. A close-up of the preview lets you judge the detail, and On the wall places the portrait in a room.
Styles for a memorial portrait
Watercolour, Fine Line, Charcoal Study, The Royal and Old Master are the styles we show first for a pet memorial portrait. Watercolour uses soft, loose washes that fade into white paper, with small splashes near the edges and the most definition in the face. Fine Line draws your pet in one thin black line, on a light paper you choose, with no shading or colour. The Watercolour pet portrait and Charcoal Study pet portrait pages show each look on its own.
Charcoal Study has a charcoal and chalk look in soft grey, with shading smudged and highlights left white. The Royal gives your pet a crown, ruff, red velvet robe, white ermine collar and gold chain with ruby. Red damask and a dark wall and column sit behind, in an oil-painting look. Old Master takes the 17th century manner: deep brown ground, warm light on the face, soft shadow. An oak look suits Watercolour, black suits Fine Line and Charcoal Study, and you can pick any colour you like.
Their name and the years
Adding your pet's name costs nothing and runs to 24 characters. A second line is optional, takes up to 32 characters, and suits the years. There are 16 lettering styles to look through on the style page. Lines such as In loving memory appear only if you type them in. Our studio sets the name in its own lettering once the portrait is finished. It sits outside the artwork and never inside it, so the spelling is always right. With a mount, the name sits inside the mount window.
Our promise
A designer checks every portrait before it goes to print. You see a proof first, and if you would like a refined version at that stage, we redo it at no cost.
