A new face, a familiar style.
The reference sets the warm brown backdrop, portrait framing and painterly finish. The new woman keeps the dark hair, blouse and expression from her own photo.

Different faces.
A shared feeling.
Match a Portrait creates a new digital oil-style portrait from two images: a photo of your subject and an artwork to guide the style. Use the same reference for each new portrait to build a coordinated collection.
- A growing family wall
- Add a sibling’s individual portrait beside one you already love. Each child keeps their own expression and character.
- A collection across generations
- Bring separate portraits closer in colour, background and composition, even when the photos were taken years apart.
- Another much-loved pet
- Give a new companion a portrait that sits comfortably beside the rest of your collection.
See what comes from each image.
The photo gives the portrait its subject. The reference gives it a visual direction. Compare all three to see the connection.
Room for another little face.
The same reference can guide a child’s portrait. Her own features, pigtails and yellow dress come from her photo, while the background and painted finish connect the artworks.
A companion for your pet portrait.
A Labrador painting guides the dark background and oil-style treatment. The new portrait follows the spaniel’s own long ears, white blaze and tricolour coat.
Studio demonstrations with fictional source photos and digitally created portraits. Each result was made from the two images shown. Results vary with your photos and reference.
HOW IT WORKS
Two images. One new portrait.
01
Add your photo and artwork
Put the person or pet you want painted in Your photo. Add the finished painting you want to match in Reference artwork. Use that same artwork for every portrait in the set.
02
Compare your free preview
Check the face or markings against your photo, then compare the pose, framing, background and brushwork with the artwork. Use Edit portrait to request a specific change.
03
Choose how to keep it
Order your preferred version as canvas, fine art paper or a digital download. For a coordinated wall, compare artwork size, orientation, head size and frame finish across the set.
Choose two images that work together.
Your photo: who to paint
Choose a clear, well-lit photo with a familiar expression. Keep the whole face, hair or ears visible, with enough of the shoulders and body for the crop you want.
For a chest-up portrait, a front-facing or gently angled photo with relaxed shoulders is a useful starting point. For pets, check the eyes and distinctive coat markings.
Reference artwork: how to paint
Use a finished portrait whose pose, framing, background and brushwork you would like to repeat. A downloaded creation or previous order artwork is better than a photo of a framed print.
Choose the same portrait or landscape orientation as the reference. For several new portraits, keep using the original reference so each one has the same starting point.

Digital artwork costs $29 USD. Fine art prints start at US$59 in the US, £39 in the UK, CA$89 in Canada and A$89 in Australia. Other destinations use USD. Every print includes a digital copy and free shipping.
Compare all prices and sizesUpload one clear photo of the person or pet you want painted in Your photo, then one finished painting in Reference artwork. A downloaded previous creation or order artwork works well. Choose the artwork itself, without a frame, room setting or screenshot controls around it.
Choose your photo and referenceYes. Start a separate project for each child, using that child’s photo and the same reference artwork each time. Compare the previews together for head size, pose, background and brushwork. You can order each portrait separately and choose matching print sizes and frames.
The reference is used to guide the painting style, colours, lighting, background, pose and framing. Your subject photo guides who appears, including their features, age, hair and clothing. The intended result is a new portrait of your subject. Check the free preview for any blended features or unwanted subjects and request a correction before ordering.
Yes. Download the artwork from your previous order and upload it as Reference artwork. A saved creation also works. If you want another print of exactly the same artwork, return to the original project to order it again; Match a Portrait is for creating a new artwork from another subject photo.
Find your saved portraitsA reference guides the new composition, rather than making an exact copy. Brushwork, crop, lighting and small details can vary. Choose the same orientation as your reference and compare portraits side by side. You can ask for a closer crop, a similar upright pose or more visible brushwork with Edit portrait before ordering.
Match a Portrait is useful for separate artworks that share a style. For a new family composition made from several individual or group photos, choose Together Portraits, which accepts up to ten photos.
Explore Together PortraitsYour portrait is created digitally in an oil-painting style, using your photos as the reference. Physical orders are printed on canvas or fine art paper; they are not original paintings made with oil paint. A digital download is also available.
Your photos and artwork stay private by default. We use them to create, deliver and support your portrait, with the service providers described in our Privacy policy. We never sell them or use them for model training. A public customer story needs material you separately choose to share and your written approval of the exact images, words, name and channels. Creating a preview or placing an order does not give us that permission.
Read about photo privacyWe offer worldwide shipping at no extra cost. From payment to delivery, most US and UK prints arrive in about 7 business days. Other destinations usually take 1–2 weeks, including production and shipping.
