From photo to portrait

AI pet portrait prompts

Wondering how to ask for a portrait that keeps your pet’s character? These are the directions AIPetPortrait uses, shown with the dog subject selected. The tool changes the subject for your chosen pet type. Results vary; review the eyes, markings and proportions before you keep an image.

Start with identity, then add the art

For your own prompts, mention your pet’s breed, coat colours, distinctive markings, eye colour and ear shape. Use a clear reference photo: words alone cannot show all the details that make your pet familiar. For two or three pets, describe each animal separately and ask to keep their identities distinct.

Keep faces visible when adding a costume. Use animal-only photos without identifiable people, and avoid branded characters, logos and text. Our tool supplies its own instructions; it does not accept custom prompt text.
