🖼️ Custom Paint by Numbers Photo Guidelines

To ensure your custom design turns out beautifully, follow these tips when uploading your photo:

1. 📷 Image Quality

Choose a high-resolution photo. The sharper the image, the more detail we can capture in your painting.

2. 👤 Subject Distance

Close-up shots work best. The closer the subject is to the camera, the clearer and more defined the final artwork will be.

3. 💡 Lighting

Use evenly lit photos with natural or front-facing light. Avoid harsh shadows, backlighting, dark images, or filters that distort colors.

4. 🖼️ Canvas Size

Larger canvases reveal more detail. For complex or multi-subject photos, we recommend a minimum size of 16x20 inches. Make sure your image matches the canvas ratio to avoid cropping.

Absolutely! Painting Theory Paint by Numbers Kits are designed for all skill levels — from complete beginners to seasoned artists.
