How it works

From one everyday photo to a painting on their wall, in a few easy steps. If you can send a photo by text, you can do this.

Step 1

Choose a design

Each design is a scene: held by Jesus in a golden field, Christmas in Heaven, the Rainbow Bridge for a pet, a guardian angel, St. Michael for those who protect, Mary's rose garden, a baptism blessing. Open the one that feels right and tap Create my painting.

Step 2

Upload a photo

Pick a photo from your phone or computer. One person or pet, or up to 4 together. Upload a photo of each and we paint them in the same scene.

What makes a good photo: the face toward the camera, in good light, no sunglasses, nothing covering the face. Show their clothes if you can, because we paint them too. Old, scanned or slightly blurry photos often work. Try it, it's free.

Step 3

We paint 4 versions, free

Painting starts right away and takes about a minute. While you wait, you can add a name, dates or a verse. Then you see 4 different paintings of your loved one in the scene.

The previews carry a small watermark. The painting you buy is printed without it, in full detail. If none of the 4 feel right, you pay nothing.

Step 4 · optional

Add their name, dates or a verse

Add a name, the years, a short message or a Bible verse. Choose from 5 lettering styles and see it on the painting as you type. It's free. Or leave the painting without words.

Step 5

Pick the size and the frame

You choose the size after you have seen your paintings. For each size we show it held by a person or hanging on a wall, so you can see how big it really is.

Step 7

A real person checks the face

Before anything prints, someone on our team looks at your painting next to your photo. If the likeness is off, we fix it first, or write to you. Nothing prints until it looks like them.

Step 8

Printed in your country, and on its way

Your painting is printed by our print partners in the US, the UK, Canada or Australia, close to you. It ships in about 2–3 days and usually arrives within 1–2 weeks of your order. When it ships, we email you a tracking link.
