The photo you upload plays a significant role in the quality of the final product. This is the very first and the most crucial step in your order. Let's review some guidelines to help you find the purrfect photo for the portrait.
Close-up: Show us your furriend's beautiful features. However make sure not to cut things out from the frame.
Eye-level: Get to the eye level with your furriend.
Forward facing: Make sure your furiend's neck is visible and the upper torso directly faces the camera.
Good lighting: Take your photo outdoor if possible. Outdoor natural daylight always results in the best photos.
Clear photos: Avoid blurry, out-of-focus photos or photos with heavy filtering. Photos that have clear fur texture will add more depth and details to the illustration.
Accessories: Accessories will be included in the final portrait. In some cases, we can remove small objects, e.g. collars, leashes and tags (please put a note in the note box at checkout), but to avoid any surprises, it's best to use a photo that looks exactly how you want them to look in the final portrait.

Whether you are not sure if the photo will work or need a second opinion, feel free to email your photo to us (support@furcle.io) and we'll let you know. We understand in some cases it's not always possible to follow all of the guidelines. In many cases, our talented artists can still make it happen.
