How much does an AI pet portrait painting cost?▼

We offer free credits when you sign up, so you can try it for free! Paid plans start from just a few dollars per portrait, which is a fraction of the cost of hiring a traditional artist (who typically charges $100-500+).

Is this a real oil painting or a digital file?▼

This is a museum-quality digital source file generated by AI technology. It is not a physical painting shipped to you, but a high-resolution file that acts as a 'master' for printing. This allows you to print it on canvas, paper, or mugs at a fraction of the cost of a commissioned physical painting (typically saving you $100+).
