Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: October 17, 2026
Pawtrait is for painting pets. These rules keep it that way, and keep it safe for everyone.
What you can upload
- Photos of your own pet, or of a pet whose owner has said yes.
- Photos you took yourself, or that you have the right to use.
- Photos of a pet that has passed away, for a memorial portrait.
What you can’t upload or create
- Photos where the point is a person. We paint pets only; people in the background are left out of the portrait.
- Anything sexual, violent, hateful or showing animal cruelty.
- Photos you don't have rights to, such as other people's professional pet photos or images from a breeder's website.
- Pet names that are slurs, insults, or the names of real public figures or brands used to imply endorsement.
- Attempts to get around the free limits, automate the site or reverse-engineer it.
What happens if a rule is broken
We may refuse a photo or a name, remove content and limit or close access. If you think we got it wrong, email hello@petportraitfromphotos.com and a person will look at it.
Reporting
If you believe your photo was used here without permission, email hello@petportraitfromphotos.com with details and we'll remove it promptly.
