Classical brushwork with fine craquelure, in an ornate gold frame. Keep the breed, colors and markings.

Imagine the pet in the reference image as a human and take a realistic portrait: keep its personality and coloring — hair color matching its fur, clothes in the same color scheme, the same cheerful expression and attitude. Same park lawn, bright daylight, natural street-photo feel, with the original pet sitting on the grass beside the person looking at the camera.Prompt

Tips for a portrait that looks like your pet
Keep “keep the breed, colors and markings” in the prompt; it is what makes the portrait your pet and not just any dog of the same breed.
Use a daylight photo taken at your pet’s eye level. Dark or heavily filtered photos make the fur colors harder to keep.
For “My pet as a human”, say who you picture, like “a woman in her 30s” or “a teenage boy”. The prompt leaves it open and each model chose differently.
For a canvas or framed print, pick 3:4 and a 2K or 4K size on Nano Banana Pro, then send the file to a print shop.

FAQ
How do I make an AI portrait of my pet?
Pick a template, click “Use this” and upload a clear photo of your pet. The prompt, model and ratio are filled in for you; generate, then edit the prompt if you want a different outfit or setting.
Which model is best for pet portraits?
In the royal portrait all three kept the corgi’s markings and tongue-out smile. Nano Banana Pro painted the most classical scene, with the dog seated like a king and a paw on the armrest; GPT Image 2 VIP added a “CANIS REGIS” nameplate the prompt did not ask for; Seedream 5.0 Flash framed closest and costs $0.018. In the bathtub portrait, Nano Banana Pro showed the whole bathroom and Seedream went closest to the dog.
Can AI show my pet as a human?
Yes, with “My pet as a human”. Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2 VIP made a fully human person with hair and clothes in the corgi’s orange and white; Seedream 5.0 Flash left corgi ears on the person. Unless you write it in the prompt, the model picks the person’s age and gender.
Does it work for cats and other pets?
Yes. The prompts say “the pet” rather than a species and ask the model to keep the breed, colors and markings. The samples on this page were made from a photo of a corgi.
What photo should I upload?
One pet, face and ears visible, in even light, with the fur colors and markings clear. Avoid photos where the pet is far away, blurry or partly hidden.
How much does a pet portrait cost?
You pay per image: $0.018 on Seedream 5.0 Flash, $0.03 on GPT Image 2 VIP, $0.055 on Nano Banana 2 and $0.09 on Nano Banana Pro. New users get $0.1 of free credit after signing in with Gmail.
Can I print it or give it as a gift?
Yes. The images you generate are yours to use under each model provider’s terms. YingTu makes the image only; for a canvas or poster, generate at 2K or 4K on Nano Banana Pro and order the print from a print shop.
