Custom Paint by Numbers From Your Photo

What Makes a Photo Work

One Clear Subject

A face, a pet or a single object. When the eye has one place to land, the numbered grid knows what to protect and what to simplify.

Sharp Focus and Even Light

Motion blur cannot be recovered. Open shade or window light produces the even tones that convert into colour zones, while hard sun creates shadows the grid cannot resolve.

A Simple Background

A plain wall, sky or foliage. Busy backgrounds compete with the subject for colour zones, and the canvas ends up with detail everywhere and clarity nowhere.

Choose the Size

30x40 cm

A single simple subject, a pet head or a logo. Faces lose their features at this size, so it suits shapes rather than portraits.

40x50 cm

The practical minimum for a face, with one person filling at least a third of the frame.

50x60 cm

Two people, a full-body portrait, or a pet with visible fur detail. This is the most ordered custom size.

60x80 cm and Above

Group photos of three or four people, or a scene where the background matters. These need a wall position planned in advance.

Preparing the File

Crop and Exposure

Crop tight to the subject and fix the exposure before uploading rather than after conversion. A dark photo converts into a canvas where half the zones are near-black.

Resolution and Filters

A file of at least 1,500 pixels on the long edge is the practical minimum. Heavy filters flatten the tones the converter needs, so use the original file.

Preview and Production

What the Preview Shows

The converted design, before production. This is the point to catch a bad crop, a lost detail or two faces that are too small. Request one revision if the crop is wrong, then approve.

What It Cannot Fix

A blurry original, a subject too small in the frame, or two people at different distances. Those need a different photo rather than a revision.

Common Requests

Pet Portraits

The most ordered custom subject. A head-and-shoulders crop at 40x50 cm works better than a full-body shot at the same size, and the stock animal kits cover the cases where the breed matters more than the individual animal.

Family Photos

Three or four people need 60x80 cm to keep every face readable. A tighter crop of two people at 50x60 cm usually produces a better piece. A finished custom canvas also works as a family gift.

Houses and Cars

Architecture converts well because the lines are straight. A car reads better from a three-quarter angle than a flat side view.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file should I upload?

A sharp JPEG or PNG at the largest size available, ideally over 1,500 pixels on the long edge.

Can you combine two photos?

Not automatically. Choose one image, or place both subjects into a single photo before uploading.

Which size for a face?

40x50 cm for one person, 50x60 cm for two.

How long does a custom order take?

Production plus shipping, with the estimate shown at checkout.

What if the preview looks wrong?

Request a revision before approving. Once production starts the artwork is fixed.
