About the studio
About IMPAWSTO: Our AI Pet Portrait Studio
We make one thing, and we make it in a way that survives the pet: a classical oil painting of your animal, printed with real raised relief on linen canvas and framed in real wood.
What IMPAWSTO is
IMPAWSTO is a pet portrait studio. You send one photo of one animal, and we return a framed oil painting of that animal - a physical object you hang on a wall, not a file you scroll through. The artwork is generated by AI from your photo and then printed as a real oil-painting surface, so every portrait is made for exactly one pet.
The studio was set up in 2026-07-02 and works with pet owners in the 48 contiguous US states and Washington D.C.. Orders are placed on this site and fulfilled as framed canvas, with delivery to your door.
How a portrait is made
1. You send one photo. One clear, well-lit picture where the face is easy to read - daylight near a window beats a flash. JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10MB. Crop people out of the frame: photos that include people are rejected with a full refund, because the artwork is a portrait of the pet alone.
2. We render it as a classical oil painting. Your photo is turned into an oil painting in a traditional style, keeping your pet's own markings and features. You can preview the result free before you order anything.
3. We print it with real raised relief. The painting is printed on linen oil-painting canvas with the paint built up in physical depth, so raking light across the surface throws its own shadows along every ridge of fur. It is a textured canvas print, not a flat photograph.
4. We stretch and frame it. The canvas is stretched over a rigid wooden stretcher and set into a real wood frame - Teak, Light Wood or Black - so it arrives ready to hang.
Materials and finishes
The frame is part of the product, not an add-on, and all three finishes cost the same. Teak is a warm dark walnut, Light Wood is pale maple, and Black is a near-black matte that lets the canvas do the talking. The frame width is proportional to the short edge of your piece, so it looks right at any size.
You set the width and height yourself. The short edge runs from 6 inches up to 38 inches depending on the format - portrait, landscape, square or panoramic - and 14 price bands cover every size you can pick.
Price, preview and payment
Prices run from $149 to $999 by canvas size, with shipping within the contiguous US included in the product price - the number you see is the number you pay. You preview the painting free before you order.
Payment is handled by our Shopify store, and order status, tracking and any refund request are all managed from your account on this site.
Where we ship, and how long it takes
We ship to all 48 contiguous US states and Washington D.C. We do not deliver to Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. boxes, APO/FPO addresses or US territories, and international shipping is not available yet - shipping a large framed canvas across borders costs far more than we can honestly charge.
Production takes 3-5 business days after your order is confirmed, then standard shipping inside the contiguous US takes 7-14 business days - 10-19 business days in total. You get a tracking number by email once the carrier scans the parcel. Holiday season adds roughly 3-5 business days, so for a dated gift, order about four weeks ahead.
Returns and damage
Each portrait is custom-made to your pet and cannot be resold, so sales are final once production starts. If your portrait arrives damaged or has a quality defect, contact us within 7 days of delivery with a video showing the issue and we will arrange a replacement or a full refund. Our full terms are on the Refund Policy page.
Talk to us
We read every email ourselves. For order questions, include your order number so we can help you faster - we typically reply within 1 business day.
