Tips & Inspiration

Color by number with your own photo: here's how it works

by Stitchi Studio 14 Aug 2026

Your pet, your family, your wedding day, or that one vacation moment — with paint by number with your own photo, you can create a personal work of art that you color in yourself. In this article, you'll learn how it works and how to choose the best photo.

How does it work?

  1. You choose the size and order the Your Own Photo – Paint by Number kit.
  2. After your order, you submit your photo.
  3. We convert your photo into a numbered paint-by-number pattern and customize your kit.
  4. You receive a pre-printed canvas with numbered sections and matching pens — ready to color in.

Which photo will turn out best?

  • Sharp and well-lit — the clearer the photo, the more beautiful the pattern.
  • Clear subject — a face, pet, or clear main subject works better than a busy background.
  • Good colors — photos with good contrast look best.

A unique gift

A self-made painting from a cherished photo is a personal and original gift — for a birthday, anniversary, or just to enjoy yourself. You're not just giving a painting, but also hours of relaxing coloring fun.

Prefer a ready-made design?

No photo of your own at hand? Then browse our Paint by Number collection with dozens of themes, from landscapes to animals and cities. Or read the complete guide first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any photo?
Most photos work. Preferably choose a sharp, well-lit photo with a clear subject for the best result.

How do I submit my photo?
After your order, you will receive instructions on how to submit your photo, after which we will convert it into a numbered pattern.
