Why choose Our Paint By Numbers
Over 250,000 paintings created and a 4.9 out of 5 average — built on one simple idea: we help you turn a memory into wall art you are proud of, and we are honest with you the whole way.
There are a lot of paint by numbers stores out there, and on the surface they can look alike. So why choose Our Paint By Numbers? Because the details that decide whether you love your finished canvas — the ones that are easy to hide behind a low price — are exactly the ones we get right. Here is what makes us different, in plain language.
You approve a proof before we print — our signature
This is the promise the rest of the store is built around. When you order a custom paint by numbers from your photo, a real designer turns your image into a numbered design, then we email you a digital proof to look over. You ask for free revisions until it looks right, and we only print once you say yes. Most sites convert your photo with a one-click filter and ship it blind — which is why so many faces come back wrong. We would rather do the work up front, so your canvas looks like your memory before a single drop of paint is mixed.
Faces done right, with up to 48 colours
The number-one reason a custom painting disappoints anywhere else is that a face “does not look like the photo.” Nine times out of ten that is a colour problem: skin tones, shadows and eyes need subtle shading, and too few colours flatten them into blocks. That is why we make colour detail a real choice — up to 36 to 48 colours for portraits, pets and group photos — instead of quietly rendering every image at a low count to save on paint. If your photo needs more detail to shine, we will tell you honestly during proofing.
Premium linen canvas
Wrinkle-free, tightly woven linen that holds fine detail and lies flat on the wall — not the thin, creased fabric that makes numbers hard to read.
Full-coverage acrylics
Rich, pre-mixed acrylic paints that cover in a single coat, so your colours stay true and the printed numbers vanish underneath.
Free paint for life
Run low on a colour, or lose a pot? Tell us and we will send a replacement paint pot or brush free — for as long as you own the kit.
Beginner-proof kits
Clearly numbered canvases, a matched reference sheet and a getting-started guide — designed so first-timers actually finish.
Honest shipping
Tracked worldwide with the cost shown at checkout — never a hidden “free shipping” markup — and a realistic delivery window up front.

Premium canvas and paints that make it easy to finish
A paint by numbers kit is only as good as what is in the box. Ours ships with a wrinkle-free linen canvas that stays flat and keeps the printed guidelines crisp, and full-coverage acrylic paints that hide those numbers in a single coat so your finished piece looks like a painting, not a colouring page. And because nothing is more frustrating than running out of one colour near the end, our free-paint-for-life promise means a replacement pot or brush is always one message away. Kits this clear are also why so many nervous beginners tell us they finished their very first canvas — see exactly what to expect in how it works.
Honest shipping, with no vague promises
Plenty of stores advertise “free shipping” and quietly bake the cost into the price, or leave delivery times deliberately fuzzy. We do neither. Your shipping cost is shown clearly at checkout, every order is tracked, and we give you a real delivery window: around US 10 to 16 business days and 12 to 20 business days worldwide, with custom kits adding 2 to 4 days of make time for your proof and print. If a parcel is lost or arrives damaged, we replace it free. Ordering for an occasion? Message us your date and we will tell you honestly whether it will arrive in time. See the full detail on our shipping and delivery page.
Guarantees that actually protect you
We would rather earn a happy customer than win an argument, so our guarantees are generous and plainly worded:
- 30-day satisfaction guarantee — if a standard kit is not right for you, you are covered.
- Re-do guarantee on custom canvases — if your finished custom canvas does not resemble your photo, we make it again free.
- Proof and free revisions — you approve your custom design before we ever print it.
- Lost or damaged replacement — a parcel that goes missing or arrives damaged is replaced at no cost.
- Free paint and brush for life — replacements sent whenever you need them.
The full terms live on our returns and refund policy page, and the most common questions are answered on our FAQ.

Why customers keep coming back
A few words from painters who chose us — and finished something they are proud of.
“I was terrified my dog’s portrait would look nothing like him. The proof they sent was already spot on, and I asked for one small tweak to his eyes. The canvas is now the first thing guests notice.”
“What sold me was the honesty. The shipping time was exactly what they promised and the paints covered the numbers in one coat. My first painting ever and it actually looks good on the wall.”
“I ordered a family photo for my parents’ anniversary at the 48-colour level. The faces genuinely look like them. Being able to approve the design first took away all my worry.”
Your memory, on your wall
That is the whole reason we exist. Whether you want a custom canvas from your favourite photo, a personalized paint by numbers keepsake, or simply a relaxing project for a quiet weekend, we will treat your order the way we would want ours treated — honestly, carefully, and with a real person on the other end. That is why to choose Our Paint By Numbers.
