Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 735 reviews.
Helped my brother close on a house, and thought this would be a fun gift to gift them at closing! Came out stunning! Only reason it didn't get five stars is because the paint texture for some of them was a little thick, and I was always scared that I wasn't gonna have enough paint to complete the painting. Also utilized some other paint brushes I had to assist, because it was just easier. Beyond obsessed with the overall product though! Definitely going to buy another one for myself
Overall, a really lovely idea and it was fun too. However, it would be nice to have a separate numbered guide sheet to check again in case you paint over something or can no longer see a number on the canvas. But otherwise, top.
I have ordered a lot of pictures from you, and I’m always very impressed with the results. I only have one point of criticism: I would really like to have a reference sheet where I can check again if I accidentally paint over something. That happens quite often with very small fields.
Delivery was perfect. Some numbers are hard to make out, but there are magnifying glasses for that. I’m excited to see the final result, and my son is looking forward to his excavator.
Thanks so much!
This was my first picture of this kind, and I overestimated myself a bit with the size and the time available. I’d be happy to try again, but next time without time pressure and with something a little less elaborate.
Everything is okay overall — the paints, brushes, and canvas. Delivery took a little longer.
I don’t really like the neck area. The fur texture should be more clearly visible, probably because of the shadow in the original photo.
Kind regards,
Jürgen Wolf
Fast delivery.
The final result is impressive once again!! However, with my next picture I won’t order extra colors. Depending on the image, it’s very time-consuming and tiring to switch colors for individual dots and tiny lines. But that’s probably just me...😉😄🙈
Otherwise, as always, TOP!!👍
At first I was unsure whether the package would arrive quickly since it was shipped from China, but it actually came relatively fast — about 15 days.
The paints cover very well and the picture turned out really beautiful. I can definitely recommend it!
The colors are absolutely beautiful, and you can recognize our dog immediately. It looks so real. I’m completely satisfied and have already ordered two more as gifts.
To make sure your custom photo painting looks not only neat,
but truly impressive in the end, these simple tips will help:
✔ Choose the right photo: Pick a sharp image with good lighting and a clear main subject.
✔ Start with larger areas: Work from bigger sections toward the smaller details.
✔ Clean your brushes regularly: This keeps edges more precise and colors cleaner.
✔ Take your time: Especially with faces and soft transitions, patience makes a big difference.
✔ Select the right number of colors: More colors add noticeably more depth to complex images.
Avoid common mistakes
Most disappointing results do not happen during painting, but much earlier when choosing the photo.
If you upload a busy, dark, or blurry image, the final result will rarely look its best.
Photo is too blurry: Important outlines and details get lost.
Too many people or objects: The design becomes unnecessarily complex and crowded.
Wrong size selection: Very detailed images usually need a larger canvas size.
Not enough contrast: Flat-looking photos often appear less vivid later on.
Rushing the process: Careful painting makes a noticeable difference, especially with fine details.
FAQ about paint by numbers custom
1. What type of photo works best?
Sharp, well-lit photos with a clearly visible main subject usually work best. Portraits, pets, couple photos, or travel memories often create especially beautiful results. If there is any issue with your photo, we will contact you before production.
2. Do I need to edit my photo before uploading it?
No. In most cases, it is enough if your image is sharp and well lit. The most important thing is that the main subject is easy to recognize.
3. Do I need any previous experience?
No, this product is also suitable for beginners. The numbered sections guide you step by step and show you exactly which color goes where.
4. Which canvas size is best?
That depends on your image. For detailed designs, portraits, or photos with multiple people, larger sizes are usually the better choice because the details can be shown more clearly.
5. How many colors should I choose?
Fewer colors are often enough for simpler images. For portraits, pets, or designs with soft transitions, more colors are recommended because they create greater depth and a more detailed result.
