How It Works

1. Add your photo

Open the designer, add your pet's photo as an image, and tell us in the notes that it is a pet photo.

2. We make the silhouette

We convert your photo into a cut-ready silhouette by hand, so the shape looks like your pet.

3. You approve a proof

We send you a proof. Nothing is cut until you say it looks right.

4. We cut and finish

Your sign is plasma-cut from steel and powder coated.

5. We ship it

Allow 5–7 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

Add a name

Add your pet's name or a short line of text, with curved lettering if you like, in the same designer.

Choosing a Photo

A good silhouette starts with a good photo. Use a clear, well-lit shot where your pet's face is sharp, ideally looking toward the camera. Daylight helps, and so does a simple background. The more clearly we can see the eyes, nose and ears, the better the cut turns out.

Not every photo converts well, and that's normal. If the one you send doesn't, we'll ask you for a different one before moving ahead, so you never get a shape you didn't approve.

A Keepsake for a Pet You Love, or Miss

A silhouette sign works as a gift for a dog or cat lover, a way to mark a farm or barn, or a lasting tribute to a pet who has passed. The shape comes from your own photo, so it's your pet and no one else's.

Pricing

Pet silhouette signs start at $45. The final price depends on the size of the sign and how complex the silhouette is. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

Pet Silhouette Sign Questions

How do I order a pet silhouette sign?

Open the metal sign designer, add your pet's photo as an image, and tell us in the notes that it is a pet photo. We convert it into a cut-ready silhouette and send you a proof to approve before anything is cut.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo where your pet's face is sharp and easy to see. A head-on portrait works well, with your pet looking toward the camera. Sharp outlines convert best. If your photo does not convert well, we may ask you for a different one.

Will I see the design before you cut it?

Yes. We send you a proof of the silhouette for your approval before we cut your sign.

How much does a pet silhouette sign cost?

Pet silhouette signs start at $45. The final price depends on the size of the sign and how complex the silhouette is. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

How long does a pet silhouette sign take?

Allow 5–7 business days, because each silhouette is prepared by hand and approved by you before cutting.

Can I return a custom pet sign?

Because every sign is made from your pet's photo, custom orders can't be returned. If something arrives damaged or wrong, contact us and we'll make it right.
