Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ answers the most common questions about ordering a custom pet portrait from Furever Canvas, from the free preview to shipping your canvas. Questions are grouped by topic, and if yours isn't here, our Contact page is the quickest way to reach us.
Ordering and the free preview
Ordering starts with one photo. You pick a style, see a free AI preview in about 20 seconds and decide whether to order, with up to 3 free previews per day and no account needed. For the best preview, read how to take a photo for a pet portrait.
Proofs and revisions
Every order gets a digital proof by email within 48 hours, refined by our artist. You can ask for up to 2 free revisions, and nothing is printed until you approve.
Sizes, canvas and add-ons
We offer five sizes from 12x12 in at $59 to 24x36 in at $139, all printed in the USA on gallery canvas with archival inks. Our canvas size guide helps you pick the right one for your wall.
Kids, gifts and payments
Alongside pets, we make custom kids portraits in styles like princess, astronaut and superhero. Kids' photos are used only to make the order and never shown publicly. Gifts can ship directly to the recipient, and payment is by PayPal or any card through PayPal.
Shipping, gifts and policy
We ship to US addresses only, with tracking, for $12.95 or free on orders of $75 or more. All sales are final because every portrait is custom made, but we reprint for free if your canvas arrives damaged, defective or lost. Full details are on our shipping and returns page.
More questions
How do I order a portrait?
Upload one photo of your pet, pick a style and check the free preview. If you like it, choose your canvas size and any add-ons, then check out with PayPal or a card through PayPal. Your proof arrives by email within 48 hours.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can create previews and place an order without making an account. We'll email your proof and updates to the address you enter at checkout.
Can I put two pets in one portrait?
Yes. Choose the Royal Pair style for two pets in one royal portrait (+$25), or add a second pet to any other style (+$25). We suggest 16x20 in or larger so both faces have room.
Can I be in the portrait with my pet?
Yes, with the Pet + Owner style (+$20). Upload one photo of your pet and one photo of yourself; they don't need to be taken together, and both are combined into one portrait.
Is the preview really free?
Yes. You can make up to 3 free previews per day, and you only pay if you decide to order. It's a great way to compare styles or test which of your photos works best.
How is the preview made?
The preview is created with AI from your photo in about 20 seconds. It shows you the style and likeness before you order, and our artist refines it after you buy.
My preview doesn't look quite like my pet. What should I do?
Try a sharper, closer photo taken at eye level in soft light, which usually helps a lot. Avoid screenshots, flash glare and filtered photos. Our photo guide has step-by-step tips, and small details like markings or eye color can also be corrected by our artist at the proof stage.
What happens after I order?
Our artist hand-finishes your portrait digitally and emails you a proof within 48 hours, or within 24 hours with Rush proof (+$15). You review it and either approve it or ask for changes.
How many revisions do I get?
Up to 2 free revisions. Tell us exactly what to change, such as eye color, a white patch on the chest, ear shape or the crop, and our artist will update the proof. The more specific your notes, the better.
Will you print before I approve?
Never. Nothing is printed until you approve your proof. If you need more time to decide, simply review it when you're ready; shipping starts after approval.
What sizes do you offer?
12x12 in ($59), 11x14 in ($64), 16x20 in ($84, our most loved), 18x24 in ($99) and 24x36 in ($139).
What is the canvas made of?
Your portrait is printed on gallery canvas with archival inks and stretched over a solid wood frame. It's printed in the USA, and you can add a 1.5 in gallery wrap or UV protective coating if you like.
Are your portraits hand-painted?
No. Previews are made with AI, our artist refines the digital proof by hand, and the final portrait is printed on canvas with a painted look.
What add-ons are available?
Gallery wrap 1.5 in deep (+$15), ready-to-hang kit (+$9), UV protective coating (+$12), high-res digital file (+$15), gift option (+$5) and Rush proof (+$15). All are optional and can be chosen at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
We ship with tracking after you approve your proof, usually the next business day and at the latest within 3 business days. US transit is usually 2 to 4 business days, so most canvases arrive 5 to 8 business days after approval.
How much is shipping?
$12.95 within the US, and free on orders of $75 or more. The shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.
Do you ship outside the US?
Not at this time. We ship to US addresses only. If you're abroad, you can still order a portrait for someone with a US address.
Can I send a portrait as a gift?
Yes. Ship it straight to the recipient's US address and add the gift option (+$5) for a printable reveal card and a packing slip with no prices.
Can I order early for the holidays?
Please do. Proofs take up to 48 hours, plus the time you take to approve and then shipping, so we can't guarantee holiday delivery dates. Rush proof (+$15) gets your proof to you within 24 hours.
Which canvas size should I choose?
If you're unsure, 16x20 in fits most walls. Choose 18x24 or 24x36 in above a sofa or bed, and 12x12 or 11x14 in for shelves, desks and small spaces.
How can I pay?
We accept PayPal, or any major card through PayPal checkout.
Can you make a portrait of my child?
Yes. We offer kids' styles like princess, mermaid, astronaut, pirate and superhero portraits, made from one clear photo of your child. The same steps apply: free preview, proof and approval before print.
Are my kids' photos kept private?
Yes. Kids' photos are used only to make your order and are never shown publicly. The children you see on our site are example portraits we made ourselves.
Can I cancel or return my portrait?
Because each portrait is custom made from your photo, all sales are final and we can't offer refunds, returns or cancellations. That's exactly why you see a free preview first, get up to 2 free revisions and approve a proof before anything is printed. Full details are in our Terms of Service.
What if my canvas arrives damaged?
We'll reprint it for free if it arrives damaged, defective or lost. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the problem and your order number, and we'll take it from there.
