How to Get the Perfect Pet Portrait
Don't worry if you're not a professional photographer—we've got you covered! Just follow these simple tips, and we'll handle the rest.
📸 Quick Tips for a Great Photo
| Do This ✅ | Avoid This ❌ |
|---|---|
| Get close—a head-and-shoulders shot works best | Don't stand too far away |
| Shoot at your pet's eye level | Avoid top-down or from-above angles |
| Use natural daylight near a window | Avoid direct flash or harsh shadows |
| Keep your pet still for a crisp, clear image | Avoid blurry or motion-filled shots |
| Include floppy ears and full facial features | Don't crop out ears or the top of the head |
📏 Technical Requirements
-
Minimum resolution: 1000px × 1000px (larger is always better!)
-
File formats: JPG, PNG, or HEIC accepted
-
File size: Under 20MB
Pro tip: A clear, well-lit close-up taken with your phone camera is usually perfect!
