How to Print and Frame Your Digital Pet Portrait

Your Kiock portrait arrives as high-resolution JPG and PNG files, giving you the freedom to choose how and where it is displayed. A few simple decisions can make the finished print feel polished and intentional.

Choose between home and professional printing

A good home printer is convenient for smaller artwork and quick gifts. Select the highest-quality print setting and use paper made for artwork or photographs. For larger sizes or the most consistent colour, a local or online professional printer is usually the better choice.

Try a smooth matte paper

Matte or lightly textured fine-art paper suits minimalist illustration particularly well. It reduces glare and gives flat colours a soft, modern finish. Glossy photo paper can produce stronger contrast, but it may reflect light when framed.

Check the crop before ordering

Frame sizes use different proportions. Preview the printer’s crop carefully and avoid trimming important parts of the ears, face or composition. Ask the printer to add a white border if you want extra breathing room around the artwork.

Keep colour settings simple

Screens produce light, while paper reflects it, so a printed colour may appear slightly different from the digital version. Use the original file, avoid screenshots and turn off automatic filters or “enhancements” that could alter the palette.

Pick a frame that supports the artwork

Natural wood, white, black and pale-coloured frames all work well with simple pet art. A mount can make a smaller print feel more substantial and keeps the illustration from sitting directly against the frame edge.

Save your original files

Keep an untouched copy of the delivered JPG and PNG files. Create separate copies for cropping or resizing so you can always return to the full-resolution artwork later.
