Your photo, turned into a paint-by-numbers kit

Yes, for AI-assisted styles. Upload your photo, choose your style and size, and tap 'Get a free design preview first'. We'll email a watermarked preview of your design within 24 hours, and you only buy the kit if you love it. One free preview per email; we hold it for 7 days. Human artist styles are previewed after you order, with a full refund if you don't love the preview.

No, you paint it yourself, and that's the fun part. We turn your photo into a numbered canvas and send the paints and brushes to match. Each number on the canvas matches a numbered paint pot.

No. You fill in one numbered area at a time with the matching paint, so there's nothing to draw or mix. With the 20 × 25 cm kit, many people paint the bonus 20 × 20 cm canvas first for practice.

Yes. Choose "A person" in the order builder. Portraits of people are made in Bold in Black, Pop Party or Pop Art — White. Geometric is for pet portraits only. Each portrait is one person or one pet.

A clear face and eyes, good lighting, and close enough to see details. Avoid photos taken from too far away, where the face is hidden, or that are very dark.

Only have an old or blurry photo? Upload what you have. We'll tell you honestly if we don't think it will work before we start.

We create your portrait and email you a digital preview within 24–48 hours. You approve it, or tell us what you'd like changed. Once approved, we prepare your kit in 1–2 business days and post it free within Australia.

Yes. 2 rounds of changes are included. Tell us what you'd like changed. More changes, or new requests beyond your original order, cost extra, and we'll tell you the price first. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

AI-assisted portraits start with AI tools, which create options from your photo. Our designers choose the best one, refine the composition and colours, and make changes by hand where needed. Your preview arrives within 24 hours.

Human artist portraits are designed by hand by our artist from your photo. Your preview arrives within 48 hours.

Both are numbered by our own paint-by-numbers system. It keeps the details that matter and sets how complex the canvas is, so it's detailed but still enjoyable to paint.

Each style is made one way, shown on its card in the order builder. Both come with a preview for you to approve before we print, and 2 rounds of changes are included.

Yes. Enter their address as the shipping address at checkout.

The preview goes to your email, not theirs, so you can approve the portrait without spoiling the surprise.

We use your uploaded photo only to create your portrait and fulfil your order. We never post it publicly, and we delete it 30 days after you upload it. See your photo and your portrait for details.

Yes. We know this can be an emotional gift. Upload the best photo you have — even if it's an older one. We'll let you know honestly if we can create a portrait from it.

Your preview arrives by email within 24–48 hours. Once you approve it, we prepare your kit in 1–2 business days, then delivery takes 3–8 business days. Shipping is free within Australia.

Tell us what to change and we'll revise it. 2 rounds of changes are included. If you still don't love it, we'll refund you in full before we print. See our refund policy for details.

The 20 × 25 cm kit comes with a second, smaller canvas: a 20 × 20 cm square crop of the same portrait.

Many people paint it first, because it's quicker to finish and a good way to practise before the main canvas. You can also keep it as a spare, or paint it together with someone.

Not yet. Each portrait is one person or one pet.

No. The canvas arrives rolled, ready to paint. Framing isn't included.
