Pet photo gifts
Their best side, on something used every day.
The head tilt, the muddy paws, the look that means dinner. A pet photo works on almost anything: a mug for the morning coffee, a framed print for the hallway, a desk mat for long working days, or a case for their person's phone.
Choosing the photo
Choose a photo that catches your pet being themselves, with their eyes in focus and a little space around their face. Daylight helps most: a black dog or a dark cat photographed indoors at night turns into one dark shape, while the same pet by a window keeps the shine in their eyes and the texture of the fur.
Use the original from your camera roll, not a copy sent through a messaging app. Zoom in on your screen first: if the whiskers look soft there, they will look soft in print, and more so on a large poster or a desk mat.
Placing it
Drag and zoom the photo in the preview until the face sits where it will be seen. On a mug, keep the face inside one of the two sides the designer shades as visible; a bottle is printed all the way around, so place the face where the bottle will be seen. On a phone case, keep ears and noses clear of the camera opening. For a few favorite moments, make a collage in your photo app, save it as one picture and upload that.
