Questions
Common questions before you order.
Can I make a shirt from a photo of my dog?
Yes. Upload a clear dog photo, pick a portrait style, and PawForge creates apparel-ready artwork for shirts, hoodies, and crewnecks.
Can I make a shirt from a photo of my cat?
Yes. Cat photos work well when the face, eyes, markings, and ears are easy to see in the original image.
What kind of pet photo works best?
Use a bright, high-resolution photo where the pet is facing the camera and not hidden by shadows, blankets, cages, or heavy blur.
Can I choose the art style?
Yes. PawForge currently supports watercolor, pop art, renaissance royal, and minimal line art for checkout-ready apparel designs.
Do I get to preview the shirt before checkout?
Yes. After the portrait is generated, you can preview it on apparel, choose the product, size, color, and print scale, then checkout.
Can I order a hoodie instead of a t-shirt?
Yes. The generator includes premium hoodies, lightweight hoodies, and crewnecks alongside classic pet portrait tees.
Can I make a memorial shirt for a pet that passed away?
Yes. Memorial shirts are one of the main use cases. A clear favorite photo usually gives the best result.
Can I use more than one pet in the design?
A single clear pet photo is best. Multi-pet photos may work when both pets are sharp, centered, and not overlapping.
Do you support guest checkout?
Yes. You can create a design and checkout without making an account. Order recovery uses the checkout email and order number.
How long does it take to generate the design?
Most designs start processing right after upload. Timing can vary by image size, queue depth, and selected style.
