Remembering them, your way
There’s no right way to grieve a pet. Some people want a portrait straight away; others wait months or years. Draw Paw makes a portrait from a photo you already treasure, in a style you choose, and you can add their name (up to 24 characters) to the artwork. Nothing is printed or posted, so you can print it when you’re ready, frame it for a quiet spot at home or keep it on your phone.
Styles people often choose
Gentle, timeless styles tend to suit a memorial portrait: Pencil Sketch and Signature Name put their name on the artwork, Soft Watercolour and In Bloom feel soft and warm, Minimalist is calm and simple, and The Old Master gives a classic, dignified oil painting look. But if they were a joyful clown, a bright Pop Art or Beach Day portrait may say more about them.
Choosing the photo
Pick a photo where their face is clear and in focus, ideally at their eye level. An older or phone photo can work if it’s sharp enough (at least 320 px on each side); if the only photo you have is blurry or dark, try it anyway: the preview is free. AI can change details such as markings, so look closely at the preview, and try again or switch style until it feels like them.
As a sympathy gift
A portrait can be a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member who has lost a pet, if you have a photo they’d be happy for you to use. It’s a digital file, so you can send it gently by email or a link, print and frame it for them, or give a gift voucher so they can choose the photo and style themselves when they feel ready.

Questions
Can I use an old photo?
Yes, if their face is clear. Old prints can be photographed or scanned (in good light, without glare) and uploaded as a JPEG. The photo needs to be at least 320 px on each side; sharper photos give better results. The preview is free, so you can see how it turns out first.
Can I add their name or a date?
You can add their name (up to 24 characters), which appears on the artwork in styles such as Signature Name and Pencil Sketch. We can’t add dates or longer messages to the artwork at the moment.
Will it look exactly like them?
It’s made by AI from your photo, so it’s a portrait of them, but AI can change details such as markings or proportions. Please look closely at the preview before you buy. If it doesn’t feel right, try another preview or style; you only pay for one you love. If a file you buy is faulty, we fix it or refund you.
How long can I take?
There’s no rush. Previews are free and expire after about a day, so you can come back and make another whenever you’re ready. After you buy, download and save your files within 35 days.
Do you deliver worldwide?
Yes, because there’s nothing to ship. Your portrait is an instant digital download, so you can order from anywhere and print it at a local photo lab, an online print service or at home. Prices show in your local currency where available.
