Keep the pet recognisable
Choose photos where the pet's face and key markings are visible. These features matter more than every strand of fur.
Pet photo to line art for engraving
Pet engravings need to keep the animal recognisable. The best results preserve eye shape, ears, markings, and the overall pose.

Control busy fur detail
Very fluffy coats can become noisy. Lighter line weight can create a cleaner engraving file for small products.
Separate pets from home backgrounds
Sofas, blankets, carpets, gardens, and floors often add unwanted lines. Background removal is usually helpful for pet photos.
Photo tips
- Use a photo with both eyes visible when possible.
- Avoid dark fur on dark furniture.
- Keep ears and the full head in frame.
- Use lighter line weight for fluffy pets or small tags.
Common mistakes
- Using a photo where the pet blends into the sofa.
- Cropping off ears or paws that define the pose.
- Choosing a blurry action shot.
- Using too much detail for a small memorial charm.
