Custom paint by numbers from your photo, painted by you
You send us a photo and we turn it into a kit: a linen canvas printed with the outlines and numbers of your image, acrylic paint pots for each colour and brushes. You paint area by area and end up with a portrait of your family, your pet or a place you love.
How it works
- Choose your options: size from 15x15 to 70x80 cm, 24, 36 or 48 colours, with or without wooden frame.
- Send your photo: upload it in the "Send your photo" field, then click "Save customisation" before adding to basket.
- Approve the preview: our graphic designers trace the numbered areas and prepare the palette. You receive a preview and we wait for your approval.
- Receive and paint: we prepare the kit within a few working days, then dispatch it within 24 to 48 hours.
Which photo to choose?
- Format: JPG or PNG, at least 1,500 pixels on the longest side. Send the original photo rather than a screenshot.
- Portrait: sharp faces, soft front lighting, 2 to 6 people, simple background.
- Pet: photo at the animal's eye level, looking towards the camera, no strong backlight.

Tip for painting a portrait
Start with the eyes and the skin of the face using the fine brush: these areas bring the painting to life. Let one area dry before painting the neighbouring area to avoid smudges.
Frequently asked questions about custom paint by numbers
How do you turn a photo into a paint by numbers?
Choose the size, number of colours and frame option, then upload your photo in the "Send your photo" field and click "Save customisation". Our graphic designers trace the numbered areas and prepare the palette; you approve the preview, then we print the canvas.
Which photo should I choose for a custom kit?
Take a sharp photo, in JPG or PNG, at least 1,500 pixels on the longest side. Soft front lighting and a simple background give a clear outline. Avoid screenshots and blurry photos.
Can I see the result before production?
Yes. You receive a preview of the numbered canvas and we only start production after your approval.
How many colours should I choose for a portrait?
With 24 colours, the canvas stays simple and quick to paint. For a face or an animal's coat, 36 or 48 colours keep more shades in the skin, hair and shadows.
How long does it take to paint a custom photo?
For a 40 x 50 cm canvas, allow 15 to 30 hours over several sessions. A portrait with many small areas takes longer than a landscape with large areas.
What is the delivery time?
After you approve the preview, we prepare your kit within a few working days, then dispatch it within 24 to 48 hours. Free UK delivery.
Can I do a portrait of my dog or cat?
Yes. Choose a photo taken at the animal's eye level, eyes open, with a simple background: the outline keeps the gaze and the colours of the coat.
Is a custom kit a good gift idea?
Yes: the person paints the portrait of their family, their pet or a place that matters to them. With the frame option, they can hang the painting as soon as it is finished.
