Is this a real painted canvas or a digital file?

A digital file — you get a high-resolution PNG that looks like a classical oil painting. You can print it on canvas at any print shop for a fraction of a commissioned painting's price.

How does it compare to ordering a hand-painted portrait?

Commissioned oil portraits cost $100–$1000+ and take weeks. This gives you a convincing painted look in about a minute, free to try — many people use it to preview how a photo would work as a painting before commissioning one.

Does it work for pet portraits?

Yes — pet photos are one of the most popular uses. Clear, well-lit photos of the animal's face produce the best painted portraits.

Can I keep the face photographic and paint only the background?

Yes — use 'Style only part of it' and brush the background. The reverse also works: paint the subject, keep the scene.
