Create one horizontal 3:2 editorial image for PetPicto. A warm hand-drawn family cartoon with two adults in their thirties, a ginger tabby on the left adult's lap and a black and white collie leaning on the other. Clear silhouette, animated expressive faces, fine ink contours and flat cel shading, muted apricot, muted teal, and cream color palette. Casual family seated together, generous breathing room around ears. Fill the image edge to edge. No words, logos, captions, signatures or watermark.

What makes it look like your family?

A cartoon simplifies a face. Choose the features that will carry through that simplification: the curve of someone’s glasses, a dog’s folded ear, the white patch on a cat’s chin. Start with one clear photo of each person and pet. If a marking only shows on one side, add that view as a second reference.

Build the group from separate photos

Add the people to the first upload area and the pets to the second. You can skip the scene template or choose one that fits your group. Two adults with a dog and a cat need room for four faces. A scene designed for one person holding one pet will give you a different composition.

The cartoon style on this page asks for clean outlines, flat color and gentle shading. At preview size, compare hairlines and coat patches with your photos before looking at clothing or background details. For a photographic finish with the same group, open the family portrait creator.

Can I use phone photos?

Yes. A well-lit phone photo with a clear face is a good starting point. Use the original file when you can. A screenshot from a family chat can lose the small markings that distinguish two similar pets. The photo preparation guide walks through a complete example.
