pet portrait
Upload a photo and see your pet as a watercolor, a pencil drawing, a retro print or an instant-film shot — in about twenty seconds. Their face stays theirs; only the medium changes.
This is not hand-painted
The artwork is made by AI, not by an artist with a brush. That means you see the result immediately and can redo it as many times as you like, for free. If you want an original painted by a person, this isn't the right place — and we'd rather tell you now than after you've paid.
The one most people pick
Loose brushwork and translucent washes. Fur reads soft, eyes stay bright. It's the closest thing here to a painted portrait, and it's the style that suits a poster on the wall best.
Best for: Fluffy coats, gifts, anything you plan to frame
Quiet and restrained
Graphite tones with the color taken out. The likeness comes through in the eyes and the shape of the face rather than in color, which makes it feel calm rather than decorative.
Best for: Memorial pieces, minimal interiors
Retro poster feeling
Bold outlines and flat color in a mid-century palette — cream, sage, dusty pink, ochre — with a printed-paper texture. Pose, coat and expression stay true to your photo.
Best for: People who like retro and antique looks
Like a photo from a drawer
Warm, slightly faded film tones inside a white border. It keeps the feeling of the original snapshot, so ordinary moments — sleeping, mid-yawn — work better here than posed shots.
Best for: Everyday phone photos
Neither is better. They suit different situations.

We don't sell digital files. The portrait is printed onto something you can hold. An 8 × 10 in matte poster ($32) fits standard US frames. An 11oz mug ($29) puts them on your desk every morning. A t-shirt ($32) or a die-cut sticker sheet ($14)if you'd rather carry them around.
Everything is made to order at our US production partner and arrives in about 7–9 days. Shipping is $6.95, free over $60.
No. The artwork is generated by AI from your photo. We say so plainly because most people searching for a pet portrait picture an artist at an easel. If a hand-painted original is what you want, this isn't it.
The build of the face, the coat color and the markings come from your photo — only the medium changes. Results do vary with the photo, which is why the preview is free.
We don't sell files. mochi prints the portrait onto something physical and ships it to you — a poster to frame, a mug for your desk, a tee.
Generating the portrait costs nothing. You pay for what it's printed on: a die-cut sticker sheet from $14, an 11oz mug $29, an 8 × 10 in matte poster $32, a t-shirt $32.
