I absolutely love creating an image and then painting it by numbers. It makes me feel so talented.
Choosing A Custom Image Guide
Choosing A Custom Image Guide
Please note, it is your responsibility to make sure that your photo follows the guidelines below. The custom kit result greatly depends on the image provided. We reserve the right to alter the original image (by cropping or zooming) if deemed appropriate because the size selected does not match the original size of the photo. It is the customer responsibility to make sure the image selected is appropriate for customisation. No refunds or returns are accepted on custom paint by numbers.
Please avoid shadows in the photo you submit as it can alter the colours used in the paintings.
There are four recommendations to keep in mind when choosing your image for best results. These are:
✅ Image resolution/quality.
✅ Distance from the camera
✅ Good lighting
✅ Canvas size
1 - Image resolution/quality
The quality of your photo will greatly affect your custom painting result. The sharper your image is, the better!
➡️ Try the quick zoom test. If you can zoom in on your image and it remains sharp, you're good!
➡️ You can also check the image properties on your mobile or desktop. The higher more pixels, the better. Try to provide a photo with at least 1000x1000 pixels. If you don't know how to check your image resolution, here's a quick guide to do so on Windows and Mac.

2 - Distance from the camera
➡️ The closer the subject is to the camera, the more details we can capture. As a rule of thumb, the subject/s of the photo should take at least 70% of the pic. Face selfies will work best! Please avoid far shots as they will have substantially less details.
➡️ It is also recommended that you pick a minimum of 36 colours. More colours means more accuracy when it comes to portraits. You can also go for 24 colours, but detail will be reduced accordingly.
3 - Pick a photo with neutral lighting
Light and shadows can impact your custom kit. You need to make sure that your photo has:
➡️ Good lighting. Choose images where the light is uniform across the subjects.
➡️ NO instense background light. The light should always come from the camera angle.
➡️ NO shadows on the skin. Shadows can completely change the color palette, creating dark patches.
➡️ NO color filters! The light should be completely natural. Rephrase from using tints such as yellow, blue, purple or green, which are very popular in social media or in some photography apps.
4 - Pick the right canvas size
This one seems like a no-brainer - the larger the canvas the more detail we can fit. We always recommend a minimum size of 16x20" (40x50cm) for portraits or any picture with a bit of complexity. If you pick the smallest 12x16" (30x40cm) canvas, the amount of detail will be reduced accordingly.

Love my parrots and lorikeets! Still painting! I have misplaced my A4 copy with map of numbers and am missing it (think my husband accidentally threw it out). Any chance you could email me a copy? Thanks so much Regards Laurel Murphy
good quality brushes
Lovely canvas and the paint is sensational.
Custom designs I draw are always great. I’ve never had an issue so I’ll Will be back.
Excellent customer service. Got the wrong colour pot and it was resolved very quickly. The quality of the paint is good. Covers the area the first time. No needs to do multiple coates. Certainly will be looking to have my next project produced by them.
Super happy with the quality!
I love these paintings very therapeutic
The help team so prompt answering my queries and product is excellent ! Great for presents !
The painting looks amazing, i am so happy with it.
It looks great! There are just some paints that are too thin and light which can’t cover up the numbers
Thanks for doing such a great job! My friend loved it 😁
Love doing these they turn out lovely very happy with them
Loved the painting ,really enjoyed doing it
So relaxing to do my painting
I bought 3 similar as a set i love doing them very relaxing and therapeutic still in the early stages but it's starting to take form I'm very happy with it
Love this plane pic.... Using the paints are so stress free
What a beautiful pic to paint.
I love it. There is a problem with the lighter paints particularly yellow and white because they don’t cover the lines and the numbers in one coat.
Not bad for my first go . Enjoyed it. 😉
I designed this for my husband. It turned out better than expected
Really enjoying the experience of creating something. Only negative is that the paint brushes supplied are very soft and doing the fine lines are alittle difficult.
Love it
Loved this one ❤️
It was fun painting them. Already for christmas
Great project so easy to do
Love paint by numbers relaxing enjoyable to do great gifts when finished
Still working on the project, but absolutely love this cannot wait to finish to get another one
It all arrived beautifully packed and with quality canvas and paint. I just haven’t had the time to even start as I have had other paintings I’m doing.
We gave the jigsaw as a present and the recipient loves it.
Love it
Apologies for slow review. I haven't started as yet, I've been away, home now, things a bit hectic. I am very happy with what I have seen so far. Kindest regards, Nea Costello
I’m loving it, it my new favourite thing to do.
Just Loving it 😻
Love it
Love it
It was my first ever paint by numbers and I loved it. I am not artistic and did find the numbers very tiny, but armed with an extra light and overhead magnifier I completed the work!!
Great for my granddaughter
This was a gift for my mum, for me (and my sisters) to spend time together painting with her. It looks great and it's been fun doing it jointly.
