Crafted to Tell Your Story
Behind every photo is a moment worth remembering, and that’s exactly what we aim to preserve. Our Custom People Paint By Numbers kits are thoughtfully developed to reflect not just how your loved ones look, but how that moment felt. Whether it’s family, friendship, or the unmistakable feeling of Love & Romance, we capture the emotional depth in every expression and translate it into a canvas you’ll love bringing to life.

How To Select the Perfect Photo:
- Image Clarity: The clearer, the better! Higher-resolution images bring out finer details, making your final piece look sharper and more bright.
- Distance to Camera: Keep it close! Photos where the subject is nearer to the camera capture more detail, especially in close-up shots.
- Lighting Matters: Aim for evenly lit photos with the light coming from the camera’s angle. Avoid strong backlighting, heavy shadows, dark images, or color filters to get the best painting results.
- Canvas Dimensions: Larger canvases reveal more detail, so for intricate images, choose a minimum of 16×20 inches. Ensure your photo’s aspect ratio matches the canvas (e.g., a square image for a square canvas).
Alert: Small fonts are difficult (not impossible) for paint by numbers software to capture clearly. For optimal results, make sure your image aligns with these guidelines. Have questions? Feel free to email us at [email protected] before you place your order!

The smile turned out amazing and it actually feels like the moment was captured in paint. Super happy with how it came together.

This was my first time trying a paint by numbers, and I chose a photo of my mom, I’m so glad I did. The level of detail in the shadows and highlights brought out her expression beautifully, especially in her eyes and smile.

Painting this portrait of me and my son was such a joyful experience. Watching it come to life with every color made the moment feel even more special.
Beatriz Roach

I honestly didn’t expect it to turn out this good. I painted this of my two kids hugging and it just melts my heart every time I look at it. Their little smiles came through so well, and it was actually really fun and calming to do.

Really loved doing this one. It captured our little family so well, and painting it made the moment feel even more special. Would absolutely do another.

So much fun painting a custom photo, feels way more personal than a generic scene. Love how it came out.
Billy Crosby

I painted this as a surprise for my boyfriend, and he was seriously impressed! The colors popped way more than I expected. It totally captured that laid-back moment between us
Emil V.

This kit brought back so many awesome memories from that trip. The bike, the shades, the vibe, it’s all there! Super fun!
Benny Sullivan

I painted this portrait and it took me around 20–25 hours. It was a great experience overall, I learned to slow down, layer the paint more thickly, and cover the lines and numbers properly. Already thinking about what photo to upload next. Thanks again!

Frequently Asked Questions
A custom paint by numbers kit transforms your personal photo, into a hand-designed, paintable canvas. Each section is carefully numbered and color-matched, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind artwork with ease, regardless of experience.
Clear, well-lit photos with high-resolution and defined subjects produce the best results. Portraits taken in natural light, close-ups of pets, or clean backgrounds help preserve detail in the painting.
Edits aren’t just an option, they’re part of the process. Every photo submitted goes through a careful editing phase where we adjust lighting, enhance clarity, crop if needed, and remove distractions to ensure the final kit delivers a beautiful result.
Previews aren’t automatically included, but if you’d like to review your custom design before we begin production, just Contact us, our support team will be happy to provide one upon request.
Custom kits are usually designed and prepared within 4–6 business days. Delivery times depend on your location and shipping method, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Each kit includes:
- A premium linen canvas printed with your custom design
- A complete set of hand-mixed, numbered acrylic paints
- Three professional-grade brushes
- A printed reference sheet for guidance
- Optional frame or stretch kit, depending on your selection
They’ll be very close. While some colors are slightly adjusted to work better with paint and canvas, our goal is to preserve the original look and mood of your image.
Not at all. Each custom kit is designed with a specific purpose in mind. We offer dedicated kits for pets, landscapes, and people, and each one is prepared differently to bring out the best in that type of image.
Because not every painting, or painter, is the same. Some customers prefer something small and quick, while others want a larger, more detailed piece. Also, if your image includes a lot of detail, a bigger canvas helps keep everything clear and sharp in the final painting.
