About Painted Co
Painted Co is a small, new studio making custom pet portraits painted from your photo. We just launched. We don't have thousands of reviews yet, we'd rather earn them honestly than fake them.
Why we built this
If you've ever shopped for a pet portrait, you've seen the two ends of the market: cheap mass-produced prints with bad cropping, or four-figure oil commissions with two-month waitlists. There wasn't much in the middle, and there especially wasn't anywhere that let you see the portrait before paying.
Our promise: a portrait that actually looks like your pet, in a style that fits your home, for a price that doesn't require a special occasion. And you see it before you pay.
How it works
- Upload a photo. Any clear shot, phone photos work great. We generate a preview in your chosen style in about 30 seconds. No card, no signup, no commitment.
- Refine if you want. Try a different style, request changes, swap photos. Unlimited free re-runs while you're on the preview page.
- Order when it's right. Pick canvas, framed, mug, poster, or card. A real person on our side reviews every order before it prints, eye-light, edges, color balance.
- Ships in 5-7 days. From US-based fulfillment, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's wrong, we make it right. No questions.
The honest version of how it's made
Some pet portrait studios claim every piece is "hand-painted by our artists." For most of them, that's not true, and at the volume and price they sell at, it can't be.
Here's our actual pipeline: your photo is rendered digitally, in your chosen style. A human on our team then reviews the result, color, edges, the eyes, and fixes anything before it goes to print. We call it painted from your photo, refined by a human. We don't pretend a person sat at an easel for six hours. We do guarantee that no glitched or distorted portrait ever leaves our queue, and we'll re-run any order until it's right.
If a fully hand-painted oil is what you're after, we understand, there are excellent commission studios for that. They take 6-12 weeks and start at $400. We're a different product for a different moment.
What we care about
- The eyes. A portrait that gets the eyes wrong isn't a portrait. We adjust eye-light by hand on every order.
- Your privacy. EXIF data is stripped on upload. Your photo is used only for your order. We don't train models on customer photos.
- Saying no. If a photo won't paint well, we tell you what to reshoot, we don't take your money and hope.
- Making it right. Free re-runs before print, 30-day money-back after. You keep the print if you return it.
