FAQs
Here are the answers to our most frequent questions
What's your turnaround time?
We work super quickly and usually get your first draft emailed through to you within 5 days!
From there we rely on you getting back to us with your suggested revisions or feedback in order to quickly turn around any changes and email the final versions to you.
Physical products are made and shipped out from our NZ location within 48 hours of artwork approval.
What kind of photos can i use?
We recommend the following for the best portrait possible:
Good lighting depicting accurate colouring
As high resolution as possible
A photo that represents how you want the pawtrait to look (i.e. head on if you want a head on outcome, or side on if you want a side on outcome).
Feel free to send your photo to us via email (hello@picklesportraits.com) if you're unsure before you order!
Can you merge photos together?
Absolutely! We are more than happy to merge photos together.
If you are unsure whether the photos you would like to submit will work, feel free to flick us an email first for our advice: hello@picklesportraits.com
How many revisions can i make?
Unlimited revisions! We are happy to make as many small tweaks as possible to your first draft to get it perfect for you!
Our advice would be to make sure the photo you upload is as close as possible to your vision for the final image as we can't make any major changes to the first draft (such as the head facing front from a side on photo etc)
What does digital files only mean?
All of our 'digital files only' options include A3 formatted digital files and not physical prints.
Once your order is completed we will email through your files which can be printed out at any print store.
How do i print the photos myself?
All of the digital printable poster files you receive via email as 'final versions' are formatted at our end to A3 size and will print perfectly at that size or smaller. These can be downloaded from the email.
The files can be printed at any good print store, any good print website, or we do now offer physical poster prints ourselves here
Absolutely love our portraits for each of our animals, finally found the perfect spot to hang them! Can’t wait to show them to everyone at our next party. The team at Pickles is always so accommodating, letting us pick and change certain things to best represent our fur babies. Would highly recommend!
We love our portraits so much! Quickest we’ve ever got art on the wall! The pickles team we’re lovely to work with, super quick turn around, we are stoked!
I love the portrait I’ve received they have done a great job! This is the second portrait I’ve had done and have nothing but good things to say about them, will definitely be ordering more portraits in the future
Second time getting a portrait! And goodness have the team at Pickle’s done my boys justice they look absolutely gorgeous, return customer because of the service along with the fantastic work. Big thank you to the Pickle’s team!
This is in memory of my beautiful boy who passed away far too early. I cried when I saw the final product, it looks just like my baby.
The team were so kind when I explained the reason for the picture. I love how you can make requests (I asked them to show his smile).
The fact they send a draft and ask if there is anything you want to change etc is amazing (although they had done a great job so I had no comments).
I've purchased two pet portraits from you guys before and they have both become a family favorite piece of art. My friend has also asked for one for her birthday so you'll definitely be hearing from me again soon! The art is beautiful, communication and customer service are 10000/10 and shipping was super fast, before I knew it, it was at my door! Can't wait to order more in the future <3
I would 100% recommend these guys, the service the emails the prompt communication and the end result ❤️ oh my goodness we received one for Christmas from family of our fur babies so we had the same for some friends made for an upcoming birthday , they will be beside themselves when they see what magic has been performed . Thank you so much will definitely use you again . Thank you
Would 100 percent use you again and recommend to anyone! Great communication right from the beginning and have made such beautiful memories of the pets. Thankyou so much!
Honestly my favourite piece of art in my entire house, the detailing is so amazing and the customer service is brilliant too!! Will definitely be ordering again 10/10
This is my third time using Pickle’s Portraits and every single time I’m left feeling very satisfied with the outcome!! Super talented and they’re so kind and very accommodating when I’ve asked for changes in the piece! Very recommended!!
Love it! This is my second time getting a portrait done through you guys and I couldn’t be happier. You’re always so helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Thank you!
We have ordered portraits for both our cats after they passed away, and they are just beautiful. Such a lovely way to have our beloved cats still with us everyday.
I’ve used Pickle’s Portraits previously and again, now, for a friends birthday gift! She loved this gift so much she was brought to tears!!
It’s such a seamless experience and I really appreciate that they check in before making the final product to ensure it’s exactly how the customer wants!!
Definitely will be using again! Such a beautiful piece of art!
Wow these guys are amazing. Not only are their portraits beautifully done, but any changes that needed to be made are done with ease. Their customer service is top tier. I was trying to get these portraits done right before Christmas and these guys were so accomodating. They worked so hard to get these done in time for me without any complaint.
So 10/10 portraits and 10/10 customer service. Honestly I love these guys, I couldn’t recommend them more.
