You don't need a perfect photo.

Just one where their face is visible. A faded snapshot from 1944 works. A phone pic from last Tuesday works. Upload it and see.

＋ What Photos Make Good Portraits?

Pick the photo that looks most like them.

Not the most flattering. Not the sharpest. The one where their expression is theirs — the look their people would recognize across a room.

Everything else? We'll handle it.

Old photos, cluttered backgrounds, kitchen lighting, creases, stains — all fine. We restore as we paint.

Formats: JPG, PNG, and HEIC (iPhone and Android) all work. Bigger files = crisper results.

What we can't do:

We can't paint eyes we can't see (sunglasses, deep shadows). We can't find a face that's a tiny speck in the distance. Get close — head and shoulders, not head to toe. Up to six people. Heavy blur doesn't work.

Not sure? Try it. Creating portraits is free (up to five). Upload two or three photos and see which paints best. It's usually not the one you expect.
