PET PORTRAIT FROM PHOTO GUIDELIGHT · DETAIL · ONE CLEAR FACE
HOW A PHOTO BECOMES A PORTRAITThe photo is the reference.
The photo is the reference.
The style is the paintbrush.
Pomly reads the visible face first: the eyes, muzzle, ear shape, coat color, and markings that distinguish one pet from another. It then interprets those features through the preset or prompt you selected.
The portrait is a new AI image, not a traced photograph, so likeness is a goal rather than a guarantee. A clear source gives the model more useful information and gives you a better result to evaluate.
Read the face
Open eyes, a visible muzzle, and uncropped ears give the portrait its strongest anchors.
Read the coat
Soft daylight helps dark fur, stripes, patches, and eye color stay distinguishable.
Repaint the reference
The chosen style changes the medium and setting while the source photo guides the subject.
PET PORTRAIT PHOTO TIPSWhat makes a good
What makes a good
pet portrait photo.
A clear face matters more than professional equipment. Pomly accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20 MB, with both dimensions at least 512 pixels.
Pomly is built around one main dog or cat. Multiple faces are not supported reliably yet.
Keep the eyes, muzzle, and complete ear shape visible. Avoid motion blur and tight crops.
Window light keeps eye color and coat markings readable without the harsh reflections of direct flash.
Use the camera original when possible. Messaging screenshots and compressed forwards discard useful facial detail.
OLD PHOTOS AND DIFFICULT SOURCESThe photo you have
The photo you have
may still be enough.
Remove the print from glass, place it flat, and photograph it straight-on in soft daylight without glare.
A 300 DPI scan is a strong starting point. Save it as JPG, PNG, or WebP and keep the original dimensions.
Use the original camera file when available. Messaging apps often remove fine detail around eyes and markings.
A painterly preset may still produce a meaningful image, but a sharper face offers a better chance of recognition.
FORMATS, SIZES, AND CROPSPrepare a pet portrait photo
Prepare a pet portrait photo
without guesswork.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 20 MB. HEIC is not currently accepted. Both image dimensions must be at least 512 pixels. Pomly prepares a private working copy before generation.
| Ratio | Useful for |
|---|---|
| Match input | Keeping the framing of the original pet photo |
| 1:1 | Square social posts, avatars, and compact frames |
| 4:5 or 3:4 | Portrait-oriented screens, cards, and prints made elsewhere |
| 3:2 or 4:3 | Classic landscape or camera-like framing |
| 16:9 | Desktop wallpaper and wide displays |
If the result feels wrong,
check the source first.
If the eyes, ears, or markings change, choose the sharpest photo where the pet faces the camera and the full head remains in frame. For a black cat or dark-coated dog, use a lighter background and light the face. Choosing another style is free; requesting another successful generation uses one allowance or credit.

Photo questions,
answered.
Clear answers before you turn a familiar photo into something new.
01Do I need a professional pet photo?
No. A clear, well-lit photo from a recent phone is usually enough. A visible face matters more than professional equipment.
02Which photo formats can I upload?
Pomly accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20 MB. HEIC is not currently accepted, so export it as JPG first.
03How large should the photo be?
Both image dimensions must be at least 512 pixels. Use the original camera file when possible so the eyes, coat, and markings remain readable.
04How fast will the portrait be ready?
Most portraits are ready to preview in about a minute, although processing time can vary with demand and provider availability.
05Can an old or blurry photo work?
A scanned or slightly soft photo may work with a painterly style, but a sharp, evenly lit face gives the strongest chance of a recognizable result.
06Is it free to try?
Yes. Your first portrait is free with no sign-up and includes a watermarked JPG. Sign in afterward to claim two one-time welcome portraits.
07Can I use a photo with more than one pet?
Pomly is currently designed for one main dog or cat in each photo. Multiple faces are not supported reliably yet.
08What happens to the uploaded photo?
Pomly’s retention schedule keeps an original upload for up to 24 hours and a finished portrait for 30 days. Production cleanup must be active and verified before live generation opens. Uploads remain private and are never added to the public gallery without separate permission.
