Painted portraits
A painted portrait used to mean weeks of sittings. Here you start from a single phone photo and pick an era: a calm Renaissance panel, a Baroque portrait carved out of shadow, a pastel Rococo salon, a Japanese woodblock print. Each style describes the palette, brushwork and light of its period in plain terms, so the result feels like a painting rather than a filter.

The best photo for a painted portrait
- One person, facing the camera or turned slightly, with the whole face visible.
- Soft, even light: a window or open shade. Harsh shadows across the face carry over into the painting.
- Head and shoulders is enough. Keep sunglasses and hats off unless you want them painted in.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn any photo into an oil painting?
Yes, as long as it has one clear subject and good light. The styles are made for portraits of people; for a pet, house or couple, use the dedicated collections on this site.
Will the portrait look like me?
Resemblance may vary. The face is the hardest part to hold, so use a sharp, front-facing photo and compare the result with your original before you print.
