Creating your own paint by number from scratch is much easier than you'd have thought. Just follow the steps below:
- Choose the picture you'd like to use. Your image must be high resolution with good lighting. Plain backgrounds usually work better.
I strongly recommend taking your time to select your photo. Firstly, your painting is likely to take weeks if not months so it would be sad if you're not that fan of the picture used. Then, the goal is to frame and hang your finished masterpiece so it will stay around for quite a while! - Once you're sure about the image you want, select the size that would fit best and the number of colors you want. The more tints the more details you'll have on the final painting.
- Wait a bit. Converting a photo to a paint by number pattern takes some time! Once made, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
- Discover your unique paint set, start painting and enjoy your artwork!
How do we create our paint by number templates? As much as we would like to handcraft it all for you, we cannot! But it is the 21st century, we have technology on our side. At Winnie’s Picks, we use our own image processing tool to convert your picture into vector graphics.
To get the image right and ensure that we can process it to a realistic paint by number canvas, you have to make sure that the image is cropped to the right size of the canvas and is not pixelated. The higher the quality of the photo, the easier it is to process. The smallest side of your photo should not be less than 750 pixels. If it is, you should find a new one.
Although we have our own designers that help convert your photo the best they can, it’s best if you can find a photo with a simpler background. The simpler the background, the more colors you can use on the actual subject.
The maximum color palette that paint by numbers usually have is 48 for a maximum of details. If your photo uses more colors, our software works on an algorithm that cuts the number of colors that you have to use for the painting to just 36 colors max or 24 paint pots if you want to make it easier.

To get the best result, make sure to take a great shot of your little companion. How? Well, first make sure they’re at their best, then avoid any blurry shots because it will not give good results, natural lighting is ideal to have the right luminosity on your picture and ultimately on your painting. Also, the simpler the background of your picture is, the better the end result will be.
A Pet by number is also a great way to deal with the loss of a loved one, especially when it’s your best friend and your little companion through your every move. You can pay tribute to their memory by creating a personalized painting by numbers that can be later framed and be a part of your home.
