Family Oil Painting from Your Photos
A painted family portrait used to mean months of waiting for an artist. Upload a selfie of each person and get your family in the style of a classic oil painting, with visible brushwork, warm light and a rich, old-world setting.
What you get
A digital image in an oil painting style, made from the selfies you upload (up to 14 photos). It is not a hand-painted canvas, but you can print it on canvas or fine-art paper and frame it like one.
Painted and artistic family styles
Real styles from the app, from classic oil to watercolor and pencil. Open one to see the selfies it was made from.
Which painted look fits your family?
The oil painting family has a few distinct moods. Pick the one that matches where the portrait will hang.
Classic oil painting
Warm tones, soft brushwork and a library or drawing-room setting. The traditional painted family portrait, without period costumes.
Renaissance and Dutch Golden Age
Period dress, deep shadows and the dark backdrops of old master portraits. The most dramatic option, and a favorite as a playful gift.
Watercolor and pencil
Lighter, softer alternatives: a loose watercolor wash or a fine pencil sketch. Good for nurseries, cards and smaller frames.
Everyone in one painting
Parents, children, grandparents and pets can all be included, up to 14 photos. Each person can send a selfie from where they live.
Made to be framed
Oil-style portraits look best printed on canvas or textured paper, in a simple wooden or gold frame above a fireplace or sofa.
A keepsake gift
A painted family portrait is a thoughtful gift for an anniversary, a milestone birthday or grandparents who have everything.
From everyday photos to a painted portrait
Most families have plenty of phone photos and no portrait that feels worth framing. A painting changes that: it smooths away the busy background, gives everyone the same light, and turns an ordinary moment into something that looks like it belongs on a wall.
Because the portrait is built from a separate selfie of each person, nobody needs to sit for it, and family members who live far apart still end up side by side in the same painting.
Tips for a better painted portrait
Choose photos where each face is clear, well lit and looking roughly toward the camera. Painting styles soften detail, so a sharp starting photo helps keep everyone recognizable.
Darker, period styles suit formal rooms and large frames. Lighter styles like watercolor suit bedrooms, nurseries and greeting cards.
