A digital royal portrait is the same artwork we print on canvas, sent to you as an image file instead. It starts at $17.99, there’s nothing to ship, and it arrives by email as soon as you approve your proof. Here are eight ways to use it, from Christmas cards to the lock screen of your phone.
What you get
Choose any costume, like Princess Bella, then select “Digital File” as the format and upload your photo. Our designers make the portrait by hand, never with AI, and email you a proof within 2–3 business days. Revisions are free and unlimited. The moment you approve, the finished file is emailed to you.
1. Your Christmas cards
Most card printing services let you upload your own picture. A royal portrait of the family dog on the front makes a holiday card people keep on the fridge long after New Year. Order early enough to leave time for your proof and for the card printer.
2. A print in a frame you choose
Take the file to a local photo shop or an online print service and pick a frame that suits your room: gold for the full palace look, black or wood for something quieter. If you’d rather not deal with printing, our canvas prints arrive ready to hang. Our canvas size guide helps you choose a size.
3. Your phone and computer wallpaper
Set it as your lock screen and your pet greets you, in full royal dress, every time you pick up your phone. Want the real thing in your hand? The same artwork comes as a phone case.
4. A profile picture with personality
Does your dog have its own Instagram account? A royal portrait is the profile picture it deserves. It works just as well for your own profile on the family group chat.
5. A last-minute gift that doesn’t look last-minute
Because nothing is shipped, a digital portrait is the latest you can order and still give something personal for Christmas. Print it on a card, put it in an envelope, or send it on the day. Check this year’s order-by dates and our last-minute gift ideas.
6. A calendar or photo book
Make it the cover of next year’s family calendar or the first page of a photo book about your pet. Add a page of everyday photos behind it: the royal version and the real one, muddy paws included.
7. A keepsake of a pet who has passed
A digital file is easy to share with everyone who loved the same pet, wherever they live. We can work from older photos; read more about memorial pet portraits.
8. The file next to your canvas, blanket or phone case
Ordering a print? Tick “Add the digital file” on the product page and you get both, for $14.99 more. When your order reaches $100, the digital file of every print is included free.
Getting a great result
The photo you send matters more than anything else: daylight, eye level, sharp focus on the face. Our photo guide has seven quick tips. Buying for someone else and can’t get a photo? Tick “No photo yet” and we’ll email you a link to upload it later, or give a gift card so they can choose the costume themselves.
