Custom paint by numbers, made from your photo
This is the kit that started Our Paint By Numbers. Send us a photo you love — your dog, your grandparents, the beach you got married on — and our designers turn it into a numbered canvas you paint by hand. It’s the most personal thing you can make without a single lesson: if you can match a number to a colour, you can hang your own memory on the wall.
The difference is what happens before we print. Most custom sites convert your photo automatically and ship it blind — which is exactly why so many faces come back wrong. We send you a digital proof first, revise it for free until it’s right, and only print once you approve. If the finished canvas still doesn’t resemble your photo, we re-do it free.
Choosing your options above:
• Size — bigger canvases fit more detail and are easier to paint (great for faces). See the size guide.
• Colour detail — Standard (24), More Detail (36) or Premium (up to 48). Portraits, pets and group photos need 36–48 to look like themselves.
• Frame — No Frame (rolled), DIY Frame (wooden bars to stretch yourself) or Already Framed (ready to hang).
You approve it before we print it
Four simple steps stand between your photo and a finished canvas on your wall.

We design it
A real designer converts your photo — not a one-click filter — tuning the detail so faces and fine areas read clearly.

Why faces need the right number of colours
The number one complaint about custom paint by numbers everywhere else is simple: “it doesn’t look like the photo.” Nine times out of ten, that’s because the design didn’t have enough colours to render a face — skin tones, shadows and eyes all collapse into flat blocks. That’s why we make colour detail a real choice, not an afterthought:
| Detail level | Colours | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Up to 24 | Simple subjects — pets with bold markings, landscapes, single objects |
| More Detail | Up to 36 | One or two people, detailed pets, richer backgrounds |
| Premium | Up to 48 | Close-up faces, group photos, weddings — anything where likeness matters most |
Not sure which to pick? Order any level and we’ll flag it during proofing if your photo would look better with more detail — no pressure, just an honest heads-up. Read our best-photo tips before you upload for the sharpest result.
Perfect for the moments worth keeping
A custom canvas isn’t really about paint — it’s about the moment you’re holding on to. Our painters most often create:
- Pet portraits & memorials — the most loved use of all. Painting a pet’s face, stroke by stroke, is a gentle way to remember them.
- Family & couple portraits — a shared photo turned into something you made together.
- Weddings & anniversaries — a first dance or a favourite photo from the day, on the wall for good.
- New babies & milestones — a keepsake that means more than another store-bought frame.
- Places you love — the house you grew up in, the view from a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
