How to choose a photo that prints beautifully on a pet tag

For the best tag, upload a sharp phone photo of your companion's face filling the frame, well-lit (daylight is ideal), at least 1000×1000 pixels, with a clear background. Our editor handles background removal automatically. This guide covers the details: how to check resolution, what light works best, which angles print well, and what to avoid.

What we cover

1. Resolution: what 1000×1000 looks like, how to check on iPhone/Android.
2. Lighting: daylight vs indoor, harsh shadows to avoid.
3. Framing: face-filling vs full-body, why close works better on small tags.
4. Fur colour: dark fur on dark background, light fur on light background, what the AI struggles with.
5. Multiple pets: one per tag usually works better, here's why.
6. Common mistakes: blurry action shots, heavy filters, tiny face in a big scene.
7. What to do if your only photo isn't great: email us, we'll help.
