Royal pet portraits we made
The first result we got for each prompt, at 1K, from a phone photo of a cat and one of a dog (the small pictures, made with the model too). "Use this prompt" puts it in the tool above; change "cat" to "dog" if you need to.
Royal portrait in a gold frame
Use the cat in this photo and keep it looking exactly like this cat. A royal oil painting portrait of this cat in the style of an 18th-century court portrait: it sits upright on a red velvet cushion with gold tassels, wearing a deep crimson velvet cape with a white ermine collar and a jeweled gold necklace. Dark, warm background, soft window light from the left, visible brushstrokes and fine cracks in the old varnish, in an ornate carved gold frame.

Your dog as an 18th-century general
Use the dog in this photo and keep it looking exactly like this dog. A classical oil painting of this dog as a proud 18th-century general: a navy military coat with gold epaulettes, brass buttons, a red sash and a row of medals, posed in three-quarter view against a stormy sky. Rich, dark colors, visible brushstrokes and museum lighting, in a heavy gilded frame.
Epaulettes, sash, medals and a stormy sky. The dog's face and coat color stay the same.
More royal pet portrait ideas
Six more, from a king on his throne to a Renaissance noble. Each prompt starts with "Turn the pet in this photo into a royal oil painting portrait of the same animal, keeping its face and exact markings:" and then the scene below; "Use this prompt" puts the whole thing in the tool. We haven't made pictures of these yet, and each costs the same as any portrait.
King on a throne
seated on a gold throne in a crimson robe with a white ermine collar, a jeweled crown on its head and a scepter resting beside it, a palace hall behind, in a carved gold frame.
Queen in pearls
wearing a pearl necklace and a small diamond tiara above a blue silk collar, posed in three-quarter view against a deep green curtain, soft window light, in an oval gold frame.
Renaissance noble
as a Renaissance noble in a black velvet doublet with a white lace ruff collar and a heavy gold chain, against a dark brown background, painted like a 1500s court portrait.
Admiral of the fleet
as a naval admiral in a navy coat with gold braid and a black bicorne hat, a brass telescope beside it and tall ships on a stormy sea behind.
Knight in armor
wearing polished silver armor and a red cape, a shield with a gold lion beside it, a castle on a hill in the background, dramatic light.
With its name on the frame
in a crimson velvet cape and a small gold crown, seated on a tasseled cushion, in a gold frame with a small brass plaque at the bottom that reads "Sir Biscuit".
How to make a royal pet portrait
- Upload a clear photo. Your pet facing the camera in good light, so its face and markings are easy to see.
- Pick the outfit. The box starts with a crown and a red velvet cape. Tap "Use this prompt" on any idea above, or name your own: the robe, the jewels, the background.
- Pick 4:5 and a size. 4:5 is the shape of an 8 × 10 frame. 2K or 4K if you'll print it.
- Download it, or keep going. Say what to change ("make the cape blue") and the next version keeps the rest.
A custom pet portrait to print and give
Most people who want a royal pet portrait want it on a wall, or wrapped as a present. A custom pet portrait shop takes your photo, sends a proof and ships a canvas, for about $25 and up. Here you see the portrait straight away, make as many versions as you like, and download the one you want. A 4K file is 3712 × 4608 pixels, enough for an 8 × 10 at about 460 dpi or a 16 × 20 at about 230. Take it to any print shop, or print it at home on photo paper; we make the picture only and don't sell prints or frames.
The price: 3 credits for a 4K portrait, which is $1.78 or less on the $11.90 pack. More styles for the same pet, from watercolor to pop art, are on the AI pet portrait page, and a Christmas picture of your dog is on the dog Christmas photo page.
Royal pet portrait FAQ
How do I turn my pet into a royal portrait?
Upload a clear photo of your cat or dog to the tool at the top of this page, keep the royal prompt in the box or pick one of the ideas below, and the portrait comes back in about 20 seconds. Download it at 2K or 4K to print.
How much does a royal pet portrait cost?
Here a portrait takes 1 credit at 1K, 2 at 2K and 3 at 4K (one more with 3 or 4 photos), and packs cost $11.90 for 20 credits or $32.90 for 70, paid once, so even a 4K file is $1.78 or less. Custom pet portrait shops that print the picture and send it charge from about $25 for a canvas to $50 and more for a painted one; you can take our file to any print shop instead.
Is there a free royal pet portrait generator?
Not here: every portrait takes credits, from 1 credit at 1K. There's no subscription, and credits don't expire.
How big can I print it?
Make it at 4:5 and download it at 4K: 3712 × 4608 pixels, sharp at 300 dpi up to about 12.4 × 15.4 inches, so an 8 × 10 print gets about 460 dpi. The 2K file prints sharp up to about 6.2 × 7.7 inches. We make the picture only and don't sell prints or frames.
Will it still look like my pet?
In our tests, yes: the cat kept its stripes and the dog its face and coat. Keep the first line of the prompt, the one that keeps your pet's face and markings, and start from a sharp photo with the face in good light.
Does it work for cats and other pets?
Yes. The prompt says "the pet", so it works for a cat, a dog, a rabbit or a horse; we've tested it on a cat and a dog. For two pets in one portrait, start from one photo with both of them in it.
Is there a painting that shows a dog as royalty?
Yes, and the look is borrowed from them. Court painters in the 1600s and 1700s painted the dogs of kings and queens, sometimes on their own, in the same poses and settings as their owners. Today's royal pet portraits copy that: the velvet cape, the cushion, the dark background and the gold frame.
What happens to the photos I upload?
