How to Pick a Good Photo

💡 To get the best result from your photo paint by numbers kit, read our full photo selection guide or follow these quick tips:

• Use a High-Quality Photo: The clearer the image, the better the final painting. Blurry or pixelated photos won’t produce good results when creating paint by numbers from a photo.

• Go for Close-Ups: Faces and details show up best when the subject is close to the camera. Avoid zoomed-out or distant shots.

• Choose Good Lighting: Pick a photo with even lighting. Avoid heavy shadows, strong backlight, or overly dark photos. Natural light works great — and skip any filters!

• Match the Canvas Size: Choose a larger canvas to capture more detail, especially for complex images. Try to use a photo with a similar aspect ratio to the canvas size you selected — this helps reduce cropping.

1 person: at least 30×40 cm, 2 people: at least 40×50 cm, 3+ people: at least 50×65 cm.

For detailed size suggestions, please read our full canvas size guide. 

Important Tips:
Avoid small text in your photo — it's hard to paint clearly. Make sure your image meets the guidelines for the best personalised photo paint by numbers result.
