Dates that help with pet gifts
- Thursday, December 24 — Christmas Eve: a digital gift link can still be sent; there is no parcel or customs delay.
- Friday, December 25 — Christmas Day: open the private gift link, download the HD file, or print locally.
- Before you start: use one sharp, well-lit photo where your pet's face and markings are easy to see.
A last-minute gift from one photo
PetMagi turns one dog or cat photo into painted-style holiday portraits. You see a free watermarked preview first, so you can check the face, fur colour and festive style before deciding whether to unlock an HD download. The result is digital: send it in a message, place it inside a card, or print it at a local photo shop.
This is AI-generated art, not a hand-painted commission. People are blocked from uploads for privacy, and the original photo is deleted after seven days.
