How it works
How do custom pet portraits work?
Upload a clear photo of your pet, choose one of five art styles, and our artists hand-create the artwork. We email a free digital proof to approve or revise, then print the final piece on museum-grade ChromaLuxe metal and ship it free across Canada.
01
Upload your photo
Add a clear, well-lit close-up of your pet — JPG or PNG. A sharp, eye-level photo gives our artists the most detail.
02
Pick a style & approve a proof
Choose Water Colour, Royal, Minimal Modern, Memorial or Pop Art. We create the artwork and send a free proof to approve or revise.
03
We print on metal & ship
Once approved, your portrait is printed on ChromaLuxe metal with 24-hour production and shipped free, ready to hang.
Why metal
Why print a pet portrait on metal?
Metal captures fur detail and colour with HD sharpness and seals the image into the panel, so it's waterproof, scratch-resistant and fade-resistant for 75+ years. Unlike canvas or paper, a ChromaLuxe pet portrait keeps your companion's memory vivid for generations.
That durability is what makes metal the right choice for something as meaningful as a pet portrait — especially memorials. No glass to break, no fading in a sunny window, no warping in a humid room, and an easy wipe-clean surface. Every portrait is backed by our lifetime warranty and handcrafted right here in Canada.

Answers
Custom pet portraits at Metal Prints Canada — FAQs
How do custom pet portraits work?
Upload a clear photo of your pet and choose one of five art styles. Our artists hand-create the artwork, send you a free digital proof to approve or revise, then print the final piece on museum-grade ChromaLuxe metal and ship it free across Canada.
How much does a custom pet portrait cost in Canada?
A pet portrait metal print starts at $50 CAD for the panel, plus an artwork-style fee from $35 to $59 depending on the style. Free nationwide shipping and a free digital proof are included on every order, with no hidden fees at checkout.
Can I see a proof before you print?
Yes. Before anything is printed, we email a digital proof of your pet's artwork. You can approve it or request revisions until it looks right, so you only ever pay for a portrait you love. Production begins once you approve the proof.
What photo works best for a pet portrait?
A clear, well-lit close-up taken at your pet's eye level works best. Natural light, sharp focus on the face and a high-resolution file give our artists the most detail. Avoid heavy filters, dark shadows or blurry photos.
How long does a custom pet portrait take?
Once you approve your proof, your pet portrait is printed with 24-hour production and shipped the same business day. Artwork creation and proofing usually take a day or two beforehand. Free shipping then reaches every Canadian province and territory within a few business days.
Do you make pet memorial portraits?
Yes. Our Pet Memorial style is designed as a lasting tribute, hand-finished from your photo and sealed into ChromaLuxe metal that resists fading for 75+ years. It makes a meaningful keepsake or sympathy gift that keeps your pet's memory vivid for decades.
What portrait styles do you offer?
We offer five hand-created styles: Water Colour, Royal / Costume, Minimal Modern, Pet Memorial and Pop Art. Each is created by our artists from your uploaded photo before printing, and you approve a free proof before we produce the final metal print.
Will a metal pet portrait fade over time?
No. The image is infused into the ChromaLuxe aluminium, making it waterproof, scratch-resistant and fade-resistant for 75+ years. Unlike paper or canvas, a metal pet portrait keeps its colour and detail for generations and is backed by our lifetime warranty.
What sizes are available?
Pet portraits come in a range of sizes and ratios, from small 5x5 panels up to large statement pieces, in HG (high-gloss) or semi-gloss metal. Easel, strip and frame hanging options are available so your portrait is ready to display when it arrives.
Can I order a portrait with more than one pet?
Yes. Upload a photo that includes all the pets you want featured, or contact us for a multi-pet composition. Our artists can combine pets into one portrait in your chosen style, and you approve the proof before we print.
