Three examples of photos turned into custom dot paintings by Paint By Dots.

From a customer

One pen, one finished canvas

The number of dot painting pens in a Paint By Dots kit depends on the canvas size, from one pen for the smallest canvases up to eight for the largest, and each pen has two tips: a fine tip for small dots and a broader tip for larger dots.

“One pen was easily enough for me.”

Superb quality and truly beautiful. I will definitely order a few more pictures. Simply a wonderful thing and absolutely recommended. By the way, one pen was easily enough for me.

Nadja N.60x80 cm / Ready to hang / Classic Black

Translated from German. Show original

Super Qualität und wirklich wunderschön. Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch einige Bilder bestellen. Einfach eine wunderbare Sache und absolut zu empfehlen. Ich bin übrigens mit einem Stift locker hingekommen

The 60 × 80 cm kit includes four pens. Nadja finished hers with one. Pen count rises with canvas size, so you have room to spare.

Choosing your photo

A better photo creates a better finished piece

A few simple things make the difference. Here is what to look for.

Example of a clear, well-lit photo
Good photo

Clear subject, natural light, close enough to see important details.

Example of a photo that is too dark or blurry
Avoid

Too dark, blurry, far away, or too many small faces.

We may ask for another photo if:

  • The image is blurry or very small
  • The subject is too far away
  • The face or main detail is too dark
  • The photo is a screenshot or heavily filtered
  • Important details are cut off
  • You do not have the right to use the image

Choosing a size

Find the right size for your piece

Sizes in centimetres. Larger sizes suit more detail and stronger wall impact.

Not sure which size to choose?

Choose the larger size if your photo includes several people, a detailed background, or a subject that is not very close to the camera.

Not just a personalised kit. A quiet way to return to a moment.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Everything about the custom photo kit, from review to delivery.

Is this a finished print or a kit I complete myself?

It is a kit you complete by hand. We prepare a canvas with printed dot circles; you fill each one with the included dot pen to reveal your image.

Will you check my photo before making the kit?

Yes. Every photo is reviewed by a person before production. If anything could affect the result, we contact you before making your kit.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear subject in natural light, close enough to see important details. Avoid images that are dark, blurry, very far away or that contain many small faces.

What happens if my photo is not suitable?

We will contact you and ask for another photo before production begins. Your kit is never made from an image that will not work beautifully.

Which size should I choose?

Choose the larger size if your photo includes several people, a detailed background, or a subject that is not very close to the camera. See the size guide above for guidance per size.

Can I use a photo of a pet?

Yes. Pets make wonderful pieces. A clear, well-lit photo where the animal is close to the camera works best.

Can I use any image I find online?

Only use images you have the right to use. Please do not upload copyrighted or professional images you do not own without permission.

How long does delivery take?

Kits are typically delivered within 5–7 days after your photo is reviewed and approved.
