How much does a custom family portrait cost?

$5 for the watermark-free high-resolution file, with local tax added at checkout. There is no subscription and the preview is free.

How many people can be in the portrait?

As many as are in your photograph. Everyone is kept, in the same positions and at the same closeness as the original.

Can our dog or cat be included?

Yes. Pets in the photo are kept with their correct size and markings.

Can I combine two separate photos into one portrait?

Each portrait is made from a single uploaded photograph, so choose the one photo that has everyone in it.

What size should I print a family portrait?

30 × 40 cm or 40 × 50 cm / 16 × 20 in works best for groups, so each face stays readable from across the room.

Can I print copies for other relatives?

Yes. The file is yours to keep and reprint as many times as you like.

How long does it take?

Under a minute for the preview, and the print-ready file downloads instantly after checkout.

Everyone stays exactly as they are

A family portrait only works if the family is right. The number of people, their ages, their poses and how close they stand to one another all come from your photograph.

Nobody is added and nobody is removed. Pets in the photo stay in the portrait too, which is usually the detail children notice first.

Which family photo to use

The best family photos for portraits are rarely the formal ones. A holiday snapshot, a kitchen-table birthday, a walk in the woods — these carry more of your family than a studio pose does.

Practical photo tips

Choose daylight over indoor lighting where possible, and check that every face is visible and reasonably sharp.

Group photos work best when heads are at similar distances from the camera. If someone is far in the background, they will be small in the portrait too.

Combining generations

Photos with grandparents, parents and children in one frame make the most valued prints, especially when reprinted for several households.

Because you receive a digital file, one $5 portrait can be printed for every family member who wants a copy.

Watercolour or pencil for a family portrait?

Watercolour is the more popular choice for family walls: it is warm, light and lively, and it flatters outdoor photos and summer clothing.

Pencil drawing gives a more formal, heirloom feel and works beautifully for multi-generation portraits, hallway galleries and rooms with a restrained palette.

A gift that is difficult to get wrong

Family portraits are the most-given piece we make, because the subject is already loved and the format suits almost every home.

Printing and framing a family portrait

Group portraits benefit from size: print at 30 × 40 cm or 40 × 50 cm / 16 × 20 in so individual faces stay clear on the wall.

Matte fine-art paper with a wide white mount keeps the focus on the family rather than the frame. Simple oak, walnut or black frames all work; ornate frames compete with the artwork.
