Didn't Match the Photo

The face shape was noticeably off and it didn?t look like my brother. I sent a clear photo but still got a result that didn?t reflect him well. Not happy with the outcome.

Excellent Customer Support

They answered all my questions and kept me updated throughout.


img 5/5.0 27, Jun 2025

Blown Away by the Detail

Every little feature was captured in the portrait. The textures and shading felt natural, not digital. It's clearly hand-painted and has that one-of-a-kind vibe.

Brought a Dream to Life

I?ve always wanted a painting of my childhood home, but we didn?t have a clear photo of it. I gathered a few old pictures from different angles and asked the PaintYourLife team if they could combine them into one complete image. They said yes?and they nailed it. The artist created a beautiful full-view painting with a soft, nostalgic touch. I got to review a preview, request edits, and was kept informed throughout the process. The final product exceeded all expectations. When my parents saw it, they were emotional and speechless. It now hangs in their dining room and brings back so many memories for our whole family. This wasn?t just about getting a painting?it was about reconnecting with a part of our past. I?m so grateful this service exists. I?ll definitely be ordering again soon. Thank you for preserving something so important in such a meaningful way.

Easy Process, Great Result

Uploading, feedback, and delivery were all easy and quick.

A Special Memorial Piece

I wanted a portrait of my late cat, and the artist really did her justice. They got her eyes and expression so right?it was emotional seeing it finished. Very glad I chose this service.


img 5/5.0 17, May 2025

Brought My Vision to Life

I wanted a painting that combined two photos?one of me and one of my grandfather who passed before we could take a proper photo together. I didn?t think it was possible, but the team made it work. The final painting looked like we were side by side, naturally placed, and both smiling. It meant the world to me. The process was smooth and respectful. I had a few edits, and the team was so kind and quick about it. This piece now hangs in my bedroom, and I cherish it every day. Truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Great Surprise Gift

Surprised my husband with a portrait of his childhood home?he loved it.


img 2/5.0 06, May 2025

Great Concept, Poor Execution

I love the idea of turning a photo into a painting, but in my case, the final result didn?t hold up. The scene I sent in was of my parents dancing at their 30th anniversary. The original photo had charm and emotion. The painting lost all of that. The body proportions were strange, and the smiles looked forced. It seemed like the artist didn?t quite understand the natural flow of the pose. I requested a revision, but it barely made a difference. I appreciate the attempt, but for something this expensive, I expected way better. I ended up getting a refund after going back and forth for weeks. The team was polite but slow and unhelpful with actual solutions. I wouldn?t call it a scam, but it definitely didn?t deliver the emotional quality I expected. In the end, I had to settle for a photo print instead. Disappointing overall.

Made My Mom Cry (In a Good Way)

I ordered a painting of my siblings and me as a surprise gift for my mom. She cried the second she saw it. The likeness and feeling the artist captured were incredible. The entire process was super user-friendly, and I felt involved every step of the way. They even allowed me to adjust some facial features from the photo that weren?t clear. The final product was clean, vibrant, and just stunning. This was one of the most personal gifts I?ve ever given. Now my mom keeps it proudly in her living room. Highly recommend it to anyone.


img 3/5.0 21, Apr 2025

Late Delivery and No Updates

The painting itself was okay, but it arrived over a week late. I had to follow up twice to get any real updates on the shipping. Communication needs improvement if they want repeat customers.


img 5/5.0 02, Apr 2025

Brought Joy to My Mom

Had a painting made of an old photo of my mom and her sisters. She lit up when she saw it. The artist made it look alive, not just copied. Lovely experience.


img 5/5.0 28, Mar 2025

Artistic and Authentic

I wanted something different for my wife?s birthday and chose a painting of her favorite photo of us in Italy. The artist made it feel timeless?like something that belonged in a gallery. It has so much personality, and I love how the colors were balanced. The preview option was really helpful, and communication with the team was excellent. They even fixed a small background item I didn?t want included. Everything came out perfect. My wife was thrilled and now it?s the centerpiece in our dining room. This wasn?t just a gift?it became a memory in itself.


img 3/5.0 18, Mar 2025

Not Worth the Long Wait

I ordered a family portrait for a holiday gift, thinking I had plenty of time. The website said 3?4 weeks, but mine took over six. I had to keep following up because updates were minimal. The finished painting was decent?not bad, but not incredible either. It looked more like a digital copy than a true painting. Details in the background were blurred and the skin tones felt unnatural. My kids? smiles came off stiff and awkward. They did offer one revision, but it didn?t really help. The delay caused me to miss my gifting deadline, which was frustrating. I appreciate the idea behind the service, but the execution and communication fell short. I wouldn?t say the painting was terrible, but the whole process felt dragged out and impersonal. If they improve their timelines and add more transparency, I might try again, but this time was underwhelming. Disappointed but not totally surprised.


img 5/5.0 05, Mar 2025

Family Portrait Was a Hit

My parents loved their anniversary gift?it now hangs in the living room.


img 5/5.0 03, Mar 2025

Turned Out Better Than I Thought

I wasn?t sure how it would translate into a painting, but the result surprised me. The colors were vibrant and the painting had a personal touch. Communication was smooth, and they let me approve everything before finishing. Nice job overall.


img 5/5.0 28, Feb 2025

Excellent From Start to Finish

I couldn?t be happier with how everything turned out. I submitted a photo of my parents with our family dog and asked if the background could be cleaned up. Not only did they do that, but they also added subtle touches that enhanced the whole scene. The support team was fast and friendly. It?s rare to find a service that actually listens to feedback and acts on it, but this team did. The portrait now hangs in our entryway and gets compliments all the time. I?ve recommended this to several friends already. Great experience.


img 5/5.0 15, Feb 2025

Brought My Photo to Life

I had a painting done of my grandparents? wedding photo, and the result gave it new life. It?s full of character and looks great in a vintage frame. Really grateful for it.


img 3/5.0 12, Feb 2025

Not Framed Well

The painting was good, but the frame was damaged and seemed cheap. I had to replace it locally, which was disappointing given the price I paid. Quality control could be better.


img 5/5.0 23, Jan 2025

Simply Stunning Work

I ordered a painting of our family vacation photo from last year?me, my husband, our three kids, and our dog on the beach. The artist captured every little nuance: the lighting, the wind in our hair, the dog?s playful expression?it was all there. What really impressed me was the level of service. From the moment I uploaded the photo, the communication was consistent and thoughtful. I had the chance to make a couple of small adjustments to the background, and the team responded quickly. The painting arrived carefully wrapped, with no damage, and looked even more beautiful in person than it did online. We?ve since hung it in our living room, and every guest who visits asks where we got it. It?s such a special keepsake of a perfect day, and now it?s been turned into a lasting memory. I?m already thinking about what to have painted next. Totally worth it.


img 5/5.0 14, Jan 2025

Lovely Customer Service

They were so kind and responsive to my emails. I had a few changes mid-process and they didn?t make a fuss. Final piece looks lovely and now sits in our hallway.


img 3/5.0 09, Jan 2025

Quality Fluctuates

I?ve ordered twice?first was amazing, second was disappointing. Not sure if it's different artists or rushed timelines, but there?s no consistency in quality.


img 5/5.0 06, Jan 2025

A Heartfelt Memorial

I ordered a painting of my dog who recently passed away, and the result was absolutely touching. I sent in a photo where he was looking right at the camera with his head tilted. The artist not only replicated the look but captured his soul. It made me cry when I first saw it. The service team was very respectful and thoughtful throughout the whole process. I appreciated the option to suggest changes, but honestly, I didn?t need to?the first version was perfect. It now sits above his old dog bed. I?ll cherish it forever.


img 5/5.0 17, Dec 2024

Amazing from Start to Finish

From preview to final product, everything was amazing.


img 5/5.0 12, Dec 2024

A Truly Priceless Memory

I ordered a portrait of my husband and his late father for his birthday. I provided two separate photos and asked the artist to combine them into one image. Not only did they do it seamlessly, but the result was deeply emotional. When my husband opened the package, he was speechless. The artist captured the warmth in their expressions and made it feel like a moment that actually happened. It was incredibly meaningful, especially because they didn?t have many photos together. The whole process?from upload to preview to delivery?was handled with care and professionalism. I requested a few edits, and they were made quickly and respectfully. The painting arrived in perfect condition, securely wrapped, and ready to hang. This piece brought a lot of joy and healing to our family. I honestly can?t thank PaintYourLife enough for making this memory possible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly personal gift.


img 5/5.0 02, Dec 2024

Touching Memorial Gift

I had a painting done of my friend?s dog who passed, and she was moved to tears. The artist really got the essence and softness right. Couldn?t have asked for better.


img 5/5.0 30, Nov 2024

The Best Gift I?ve Ever Given

I decided to get a portrait done for my husband?s birthday, and I?m so glad I did. I used a photo from our honeymoon, and the artist recreated it so beautifully. My husband was stunned and emotional when he saw it. He couldn't believe how well the expressions and colors were captured. The process was easy to follow, and they kept me updated the entire time. I especially liked that I could preview and approve before it was finalized. It arrived in great condition and looked exactly like the preview. I?ll be recommending this to friends.


img 3/5.0 24, Nov 2024

Delayed and Underwhelming

Took too long and the result was just okay. I was expecting more life and color in the portrait, but it felt dull. Not a terrible product, but not something I?d order again.


img 5/5.0 18, Nov 2024

The Best Gift I?ve Ever Given

I wanted something special for my parents? anniversary and stumbled upon PaintYourLife. I uploaded a photo from their wedding day?an old black-and-white picture that meant a lot to them. Not only did the artist turn it into a beautiful color painting, but they enhanced the emotion behind it. The smiles, the gaze, the subtle hand-holding?it all looked so vivid and heartfelt. I was kept in the loop during the entire process. They even let me tweak a few color tones before final approval. The painting arrived earlier than expected, and the quality was excellent. The frame was sturdy, and the packaging was professional. When I gifted it to my parents, they both teared up. My mom said it was the best gift she?d ever received. It now hangs above their mantel and is a daily reminder of their journey together. I can?t thank the team enough for such a memorable experience.


img 5/5.0 13, Nov 2024

Great Anniversary Surprise

Got our wedding photo painted for our 10-year anniversary. My husband was totally surprised and loved it. It now hangs in our bedroom. Definitely something different and meaningful.


img 3/5.0 29, Oct 2024

Painting Was OK, Not Great

The portrait looked decent but didn?t evoke the feeling I hoped for. It was missing the softness and warmth of the original photo. Just felt a bit mechanical overall.


img 5/5.0 27, Oct 2024

Perfect Anniversary Gift

My wife was speechless when she saw the painting of us.


img 5/5.0 06, Oct 2024

Stunning Family Portrait

My wife and I wanted a painting of a recent family photo with our two boys. The result was absolutely stunning. The artist managed to capture their playful energy while still keeping it formal enough for display. I appreciated the clear communication and ability to approve revisions. Shipping was faster than expected, and the final product was even better in person. It now hangs above our fireplace and brings warmth to our living room. Every time I look at it, I feel grateful we made the choice to order. Such a great experience.


img 5/5.0 02, Oct 2024

A Lovely Gift for My Parents

Got a family portrait done as a gift for my parents? anniversary. They were emotional when they opened it. The attention to detail was impressive, especially with older photos we had. I?d definitely order again in the future.


img 5/5.0 28, Sep 2024

A Lasting Tribute

I wanted to gift my sister a portrait of our late brother, and Paint Your Life delivered something that moved us both deeply. I sent them a photo that wasn?t very clear, but the artist managed to recreate him with warmth and life. We were both speechless when we saw it. Every little detail?from his smile to his favorite shirt?was perfect. The process was respectful and sensitive, and they let me make adjustments without hesitation. This is something we will treasure forever. Truly thankful for the talent and care that went into this piece.


img 3/5.0 24, Sep 2024

Looks More Digital Than Painted

The portrait I received looks more like a digitally altered image than an actual painting. I chose the oil painting option and expected visible brushstrokes, texture, and depth. Instead, the result was flat and overly smooth, almost like it was printed. The subject was my son, and while the face looked similar, the character and energy just weren?t there. The preview didn?t allow much flexibility for edits either. I did request some adjustments, but the final painting still looked generic. It?s hanging in our hallway for now, but it?s not what I imagined when I placed the order. Customer service was helpful, but couldn?t fix the core issue: it lacked a human touch. The product wasn?t awful, but it didn?t have the heart or artistry I expected. If you?re looking for something truly handmade and expressive, this might not be the right service. I feel let down by the lack of texture and emotion.


img 5/5.0 18, Sep 2024

A Conversation Starter

Every time someone visits, they ask where I got the painting done. The artist did a fantastic job blending all the elements I wanted in one piece. Really happy with it.


img 3/5.0 09, Sep 2024

Colors Didn?t Match

The skin tones were much darker than the photo and it changed the whole vibe. I asked for revisions but it still didn?t look quite right. Good effort, but not quite there.


img 5/5.0 02, Sep 2024

Smooth and Easy Process

The whole process was smooth from upload to delivery.


img 2/5.0 28, Aug 2024

Didn?t Capture the Subject

I ordered a painting of my daughter as a birthday surprise, and I was genuinely excited. The original photo had so much character?her smile, the natural sunlight, the playfulness of the moment. The painting, however, missed nearly all of that. Her facial expression was completely different, and her eyes looked dull and lifeless. I asked for changes, and while they did make adjustments, it still didn?t feel right. It?s strange how a painting can look accurate but still feel ?off.? Customer support was kind but slow. It felt like they didn?t understand how important the emotional accuracy was to me. When I showed it to my daughter, she smiled politely but clearly didn?t connect with it. I ended up feeling guilty for even giving it to her. This could be a great service with better quality control and artist feedback. Sadly, this version just didn?t live up to the moment I hoped to preserve.


img 5/5.0 24, Aug 2024

Wedding Photo Made Even Better

We had one favorite wedding photo, and I thought it would be fun to turn it into a painting. It turned out so much better than I expected. The artist made the background softer and added some light we didn?t know we needed. It?s so much more than just a painted version of a picture?it has life. We now have it framed in our bedroom and everyone who sees it compliments it. The team kept me updated the entire time and allowed for preview edits. I couldn?t have asked for more. So glad I did this.


img 5/5.0 04, Aug 2024

My Daughter Loved It

Got a painting made of my daughter and her horse. She absolutely loved it and keeps showing it to friends. The detail in the horse?s face was amazing. Beautiful work.


img 2/5.0 02, Aug 2024

Disappointed with the Likeness

The painting didn?t really resemble the photo I submitted. The features were slightly off and the expression looked stiff. The artist did try, but it just didn?t capture the moment right. Customer support responded, but I wish there had been more back and forth before finalizing.


img 5/5.0 25, Jul 2024

Beyond What I Imagined

I honestly wasn?t sure what to expect when I ordered from Paint Your Life, but I was blown away. The artist captured every little detail from the photo and even made it feel warmer and more personal. I asked for a few tweaks during the process and they were super responsive. The painting came packaged really well and arrived in perfect condition. Everyone who has seen it compliments it immediately. I gave it as a gift to my mom, and she cried when she saw it. Definitely something I?ll treasure and would 100% order again.


img 2/5.0 15, Jul 2024

Quality Wasn?t Consistent

I ordered two portraits, and one looked great while the other looked rushed. There wasn?t the same attention to detail. It made me question whether they use the same artists or not. I would?ve appreciated more consistency and transparency in the process.


img 5/5.0 03, Jul 2024

Emotional Surprise

Ordered a portrait of my fianc?s late grandmother, and he cried when he opened it. The artist did an incredible job working from an old, blurry photo. It felt really special.


img 5/5.0 20, Jun 2024

A True Keepsake

Got a portrait done of my late uncle as a gift for my aunt. She was so touched. They even cleaned up the background as I requested. I really appreciate that level of care.


img 4/5.0 13, Jun 2024

Good Work, Slight Delay

The painting came out great. My only gripe is that it arrived about five days later than the estimate. But the quality was definitely there, and the painting looked just like the photo I provided. Pretty happy with it.


img 5/5.0 10, Jun 2024

A Gift That Moved Everyone

I had a painting done for my grandparents? 50th wedding anniversary and used an old black-and-white photo of them. Not only did the artist colorize it tastefully, but they also brought so much warmth into their faces. When they opened the package, everyone in the room got emotional. The team was lovely to work with and let me be part of the approval process. I was nervous using such an old photo, but it turned out even better than I hoped. Now it sits in the hallway of their home, proudly displayed. So worth it.


img 2/5.0 06, Jun 2024

Missed My Instructions Completely

I submitted very clear instructions with my order?I asked for a specific background to be removed and replaced with a simple color. I even uploaded a reference image. When the preview came back, not only was the background still there, but parts of the subject looked distorted too. I requested changes, but it felt like no one was actually reading my notes. I had to resend everything and wait again, and the second version was only slightly improved. The eyes looked lifeless and the painting lacked warmth. For a gift meant to honor my late grandmother, it didn?t carry the emotional weight I hoped for. Customer service replied, but they didn?t seem engaged. I ended up accepting it out of fatigue, not satisfaction. I don?t think I?ll order again unless there?s a major change in quality control. A beautiful idea, but sadly, poorly executed in my case. Felt more like a factory process than custom art.


img 5/5.0 29, May 2024

Gift That Made Her Cry

My girlfriend teared up instantly?so touching and beautiful.


img 2/5.0 11, May 2024

Rushed Final Result

It felt like they just wanted to complete the project and move on. The final painting had visible brush errors and didn?t reflect the preview. Customer support didn?t offer much help.


img 5/5.0 07, May 2024

So Easy to Order

Was surprised how smooth the whole process was. I uploaded the photo, approved a preview, and then just waited. The final product looked exactly like what I had imagined.


img 4/5.0 26, Apr 2024

Took Time, Worth It

It took a while, but the finished artwork was totally worth it.


img 5/5.0 20, Apr 2024

More Than Just a Portrait

I was honestly surprised by how emotional I felt when I opened the final painting. I ordered a portrait of my late father, and the artist added such subtle warmth to his expression. It brought back memories in a way a photo just can?t. The communication during the process was excellent, and I appreciated being able to make small revisions. The result was even better than I imagined. It?s hanging in my study now, and I look at it every day. This service gave me something priceless?a chance to see my dad again, in art form.


img 3/5.0 16, Apr 2024

Somewhat Impersonal

The painting turned out okay but it felt more like a stock image than a unique memory. Maybe expectations were too high, but it didn?t feel special to me.


img 4/5.0 06, Apr 2024

Well Done But Plan Ahead

The final result was beautiful, but it did take a bit longer than expected. I?d recommend ordering well in advance if it?s for a special date. The quality is top-notch, though.


img 5/5.0 23, Mar 2024

Memorial Portrait That Meant Everything

After our family dog passed away, my daughter was heartbroken. I decided to surprise her with a portrait of her and our dog from one of their last walks together. I can?t put into words how powerful the reaction was. The artist captured not only the look of our dog but also the bond they shared. My daughter cried when she opened the box and couldn?t stop hugging the painting. It now sits above her bed. The process was smooth?supportive team, preview approvals, and quick edits. The painting felt warm, emotional, and true to life. I was amazed at the textures and shading, which gave it a soft, heartfelt tone. This wasn?t just a gift?it became a part of our family?s healing. PaintYourLife didn?t just deliver art; they gave us back a piece of love that we lost. I?ll always be grateful for what they created. The quality and meaning were unmatched.


img 4/5.0 10, Mar 2024

Great Gift, Slight Pricey

Really liked how the portrait turned out, but it?s not cheap. I?d say it?s worth it for a big occasion, though. It came packaged really well and looks great on the wall.


img 4/5.0 04, Mar 2024

Very Happy Overall

Had to request one revision, but it turned out really well.


img 5/5.0 22, Feb 2024

High-Quality and Personal

The painting came out so much better than I expected. I submitted a photo of my wife and son, and they captured everything from the smile to the little details in the background. The quality of the canvas and the packaging was top-notch. The approval process made me feel confident, and I loved how responsive the support team was. It?s not just a copy of a photo?it?s a warm, textured, emotional piece of art. I feel like we got something truly unique, and my wife was overjoyed when she saw it. Worth every penny.


img 5/5.0 19, Feb 2024

My Husband Loved It

Gave my husband a painting of our wedding photo, and he was speechless. It?s beautifully done and feels very personal. They also let me make a couple of tweaks to the preview before finalizing. Great experience.


img 5/5.0 13, Feb 2024

Timeless Keepsake for My Wife

My wife loves thoughtful gifts, so I had a painting made of her and her late father dancing at our wedding. It was one of her favorite moments ever, and the artist brought it to life with stunning detail. From the expressions to the lighting, every part of the painting felt full of warmth and love. When she opened it, she just stood there in awe, then started crying happy tears. It?s now the centerpiece of her office. The PaintYourLife team was communicative and professional. I appreciated how easy it was to approve revisions and track progress. The painting came well-wrapped and arrived sooner than I expected. It?s one of those gifts that becomes part of the home and the heart. I would absolutely use this service again for future occasions. The care, the talent, and the emotional impact of this gift were beyond anything I imagined.


img 5/5.0 07, Feb 2024

Emotional and Beautiful

I cried when I saw the finished painting of my late father.


img 2/5.0 03, Feb 2024

Missed the Emotional Mark

I had high hopes when ordering a memorial portrait of my dad, but the result left me disappointed. While the technical skill was okay, it completely missed the emotional feel of the original photo. His expression looked forced, almost unfamiliar. I asked for revisions, but the updated version still didn?t feel like him. Customer service was polite, but the back-and-forth added weeks to the timeline, and by the time it arrived, the emotional impact had faded. I expected more attention to the character and heart of the image. For the price, I thought I?d get a piece that captured a memory?not just a painting that vaguely looked like the photo. It?s not something I felt proud to hang on the wall. Maybe others have better experiences, but this one didn?t meet my expectations. I won?t be reordering or recommending based on this experience. It just didn?t connect the way I hoped it would.


img 5/5.0 30, Jan 2024

So Personal and Thoughtful

This made the most meaningful gift I've ever given someone.


img 2/5.0 24, Jan 2024

Not a Good Experience for a First-Timer

This was my first time ordering from PaintYourLife, and I don?t think I?ll be doing it again. The site looked professional and easy to use, but after I placed the order, communication became slow. The preview I received looked off?the background was uneven and my dad?s face looked distorted. I sent feedback and waited several days, only to get a second version that was barely changed. I had to push again for revisions, and by then, I was already exhausted by the process. When it finally arrived, the painting didn?t wow me. It wasn?t terrible, but it wasn?t anything close to what I envisioned. Customer service was courteous, but I got the sense that they were overwhelmed or understaffed. Maybe I caught them at a bad time, but this wasn?t a smooth or satisfying experience. I?d recommend trying it only if you?re willing to risk a few bumps along the way.


img 5/5.0 20, Jan 2024

Better Than the Photo

I uploaded an old photo of my dad from his military days, and the final painting was better than I could have hoped. They cleaned up the image, adjusted the lighting, and brought out details I didn?t even notice in the original. The artist captured his serious but kind expression perfectly. My mom was overwhelmed when she saw it. The team kept me informed, and I got to review a preview before anything was finalized. It came ready to hang, and I?m already planning my next order. This was a really emotional and rewarding gift.


img 5/5.0 10, Jan 2024

Captured My Dog Perfectly

Honestly didn?t expect it to look that close to the photo I sent, but it turned out amazing. They captured the expression in my dog?s eyes so well. The process was easy and the team was responsive with changes I requested. Really happy with how it came out.


img 2/5.0 01, Jan 2024

Not Worth the Price

For the amount I paid, I expected a lot more. The painting was smaller than expected and lacked detail. Customer support offered a partial refund, but I still felt let down overall.


img 2/5.0 30, Dec 2023

Disconnected from the Original

The background and tone were totally changed from the original photo, and not in a good way. I wish I?d been consulted more before finalizing. It just didn?t feel like my photo anymore.


img 4/5.0 24, Dec 2023

Pretty Good Overall

The final product was nice, although I had to ask for some minor revisions during the preview stage. They handled it well, though. Just be patient with the timeline?quality takes a bit of time.


img 4/5.0 20, Dec 2023

Great Painting, Minor Delay

The painting was beautiful, though shipping was a little delayed.


img 5/5.0 13, Dec 2023

Absolutely Phenomenal

I don?t usually write reviews, but this was truly special. I had a painting done of my wife and daughter from a candid moment in our backyard. The artist turned a simple, everyday scene into something magical. The way the sunlight filtered through the trees, the playful expression on my daughter?s face, and the smile on my wife?it was all so beautifully done. The process was smooth, and I got to approve a draft before it was finalized. The final piece arrived earlier than expected, and the quality blew me away. It came ready to hang, and we immediately placed it in our hallway. Everyone who visits our home comments on it. It?s now my wife?s favorite item in the house. I can?t thank PaintYourLife enough for what they created?it was worth every penny and more. This is more than just a painting; it?s a piece of our family?s story.


img 5/5.0 01, Dec 2023

Perfect in Every Way

I ordered a portrait of my parents? wedding photo for their 40th anniversary. The original image was a little grainy and faded, but the artist managed to bring it to life. My mom literally gasped when she opened the package. The details in the dress and expressions were incredible. It arrived exactly when they said it would, securely packaged and ready to hang. The process of getting approval along the way gave me confidence in the result. I?ll definitely be ordering again?next up is a portrait of our kids. Just amazing work all around.


img 5/5.0 30, Nov 2023

Captured a Special Moment

I had a portrait done of my daughter blowing bubbles in the park. The artist recreated the light, the motion, and the joy so perfectly. It?s now one of my favorite pieces in our house. I didn?t expect the colors to pop as much as they did. The team kept me involved and responded quickly to my edit requests. The shipping was smooth and the canvas was in perfect shape. It?s such a special keepsake of a moment that meant a lot to us. I will absolutely be ordering more in the future.

A Bit Expensive, But Worth It

It?s on the pricier side, but for something this personal and well-crafted, it makes sense. The painting now hangs in our living room and adds a lot of warmth.

True to Life

The eyes and facial expressions were incredibly lifelike.

Too Many Revisions Needed

I had to ask for several changes, which delayed everything. The initial version didn?t even look like the person in the photo. While they eventually fixed it, it was frustrating.

Brought a Memory to Life

The painting made an old photo feel brand new again.

Just Felt Average

The portrait was fine, but it didn?t wow me. The expressions were flat and it lacked the emotional touch I was hoping for. It wasn?t bad, just didn?t feel like it had heart.

Not As Detailed As Promised

The ad made it seem like I?d get a finely detailed, emotional portrait that would bring tears to my eyes. The reality was far more basic. The likeness was ?almost? there, but not quite. The clothes looked cartoonish and some facial features were clearly not true to the person. I went through the preview and made suggestions, but the second version wasn?t much better. Shipping was fast, I?ll give them that, but I wish the same energy went into the artwork. The final product looked more like a fast sketch than something carefully painted. My husband, who it was for, said it was ?nice? but didn?t seem overly impressed. I feel like this could be a great gift if more care was put into every order. Not everyone wants just a photo copy?they want art. I won?t say it?s a terrible service, but it was a mediocre one in my case.

Incredible Attention to Detail

I?ve always been skeptical about online custom art services, but PaintYourLife proved me wrong. I submitted a group photo of my family from a vacation, and the artist managed to give each person distinct personality and life. The skin tones, clothing, and even the background were painted beautifully. Customer service was always quick to respond, and I felt very involved in the process. The canvas came well-packaged and ready to hang. We?ve already had people ask us where we got it done. This exceeded all of our expectations. Couldn?t be happier with the end result.


img 5/5.0 02, Oct 2023

Captured Their Personalities

I had a painting done of my two kids, and I was amazed how well the artist captured their expressions. It didn?t feel flat or generic. It really looked like them.


img 5/5.0 29, Sep 2023

So Much Better Than Expected

I ordered a portrait of my kids as a gift for my wife on Mother?s Day. The artist captured not just their faces but their personalities?my daughter?s big smile and my son?s curious look. It was exactly what I hoped for and more. Communication was fast, and the edits I requested were made right away. The canvas arrived securely and ready to hang. My wife was blown away, and we both agree it?s one of the best things we?ve ever had made. I?ve already recommended PaintYourLife to two coworkers. Couldn?t be happier with how it turned out.


img 5/5.0 15, Sep 2023

Looks Even Better in Person

I thought the online preview looked good, but the actual painting in person blew me away. There?s something really warm and detailed about seeing it on canvas. Worth every penny.


img 3/5.0 10, Sep 2023

Emotion Was Missing

While the portrait was technically accurate, it lacked the emotional feel I was expecting. It looked more like a photo copy than a heartfelt painting. Decent, but not special.


img 5/5.0 08, Sep 2023

Super Easy and Beautiful Outcome

I appreciated how simple the process was from uploading to approval. The final painting of my grandparents was absolutely stunning. My whole family loves it and it now hangs in our living room. Would recommend for meaningful gifts.


img 5/5.0 04, Sep 2023

Blown Away by the Result

Way better than I expected?it's now the centerpiece in our home.


img 3/5.0 31, Aug 2023

Not Quite What I Expected

The colors were a bit off and the lighting in the painting didn?t match the original photo. While it was decent quality, it felt more generic than personal. It wasn?t terrible, but for the price, I was hoping for better accuracy.


img 5/5.0 17, Aug 2023

So Much Emotion in One Frame

I had a portrait created from a photo of my kids playing on the beach, and the artist turned it into something truly magical. The emotion, movement, and softness were all perfectly done. I didn?t expect to feel so connected to a painting. Communication was clear, and revisions were easy to make. It was securely packaged and arrived earlier than I thought. This piece means so much to me. Everyone who sees it says it?s beautiful. I?ll definitely be getting more done in the future?maybe of our dog next. Just a lovely experience from start to finish.


img 5/5.0 09, Aug 2023

Unique Way to Remember

Got a painting done of a vacation photo. The detail and lighting the artist captured were pretty amazing. It?s now one of my favorite things in our house. Definitely worth it.


img 5/5.0 06, Aug 2023

Painted With Care

You can really tell the artist put a lot of care into the details.


img 2/5.0 28, Jul 2023

Bad First Impression

The first version looked cartoonish and nothing like the photo. I had to send it back for revisions. It improved a little, but still didn?t fully capture the moment.


img 5/5.0 26, Jul 2023

Looks Like a Museum Piece

The painting feels very high-end. Even my art teacher friend was impressed. The colors are rich and everything looks hand-crafted. Definitely more than I expected from an online order.


img 5/5.0 22, Jul 2023

Great Experience, Great Result

I had no idea what to expect, but this turned out to be one of my favorite purchases in a long time. I ordered a portrait of my grandmother from an old photo. The artist made it look so alive and elegant. She?s been gone for a few years now, and this brought back so many memories. The team kept me updated and asked for feedback before finalizing. They even improved the clarity from the faded original. It arrived earlier than expected and was packed well. I couldn?t be happier with how it turned out.


img 5/5.0 14, Jul 2023

Looks Just Like the Photo

The final result was so close to the picture I submitted?amazing work.


img 5/5.0 03, Jul 2023

Couldn?t Ask for a Better Experience

I?ve used online custom art services before, but none of them have come close to the quality and experience I had with Paint Your Life. I ordered a portrait of my grandparents using an old photo from the 1960s that was a bit faded and worn. The artist not only recreated it with unbelievable accuracy but added life, vibrancy, and a sense of timelessness that left me speechless. I especially appreciated how involved I could be in the process. I was shown a detailed preview and allowed to request revisions. The team was responsive, respectful, and clearly cared about getting it just right. The canvas was professionally framed and arrived securely packed. When I gifted it to my grandmother, she held it close for a long time. She said it felt like reliving a moment from her youth. It?s now hanging proudly in her home. This was more than art?it was emotional storytelling.


img 2/5.0 28, Jun 2023

Not Personal Enough

I ordered a portrait for my wife?s birthday hoping to wow her with something sentimental. Unfortunately, the painting fell flat. It was technically okay but felt generic, like someone copied the photo without really understanding the emotional weight behind it. My wife noticed it immediately?she said it ?looked like us, but didn?t feel like us.? That summed it up. The lighting in the painting was also weird?harsh in places and soft in others, which made the whole thing look off balance. I asked for a revision but wasn?t given much flexibility. The process felt impersonal from the start. Support sent standard replies, and the preview system didn?t allow for real collaboration. I wanted to love this, but instead I felt like I just wasted money on something that missed the mark. With better artist-client communication, this could?ve been a beautiful gift. Sadly, it turned into a letdown for an important occasion.

A Perfect Tribute

After losing my grandfather, I wanted to preserve a memory of him that felt more meaningful than just a photo. I submitted an old picture of him fishing, and the artist turned it into a piece of art. They brought out every line, expression, and feeling. The painting arrived ahead of schedule and exceeded my expectations. It now hangs above our fireplace and is the center of conversation every time someone visits. It?s more than a painting?it?s a memory captured forever. PaintYourLife gave my family a beautiful tribute to someone we miss dearly.


img 5/5.0 16, Jun 2023

Turned Out Better Than the Photo

The artist added a touch of warmth that wasn?t in the original photo. It made the portrait feel more alive. I honestly like the painting more than the photo now.


img 4/5.0 10, Jun 2023

Good Work, Slightly Pricey

Really great quality, just wish it was a little more affordable.


img 5/5.0 03, Jun 2023

Perfect for Our New Home

We just moved into our first house and wanted something special for the entryway. I ordered a painting of our engagement photo and couldn?t believe how beautiful it turned out. The painting really captured our expressions and had such warmth. It was easy to work with the artist and approve the preview. When it arrived, it was perfectly packed and in great shape. We immediately put it up and every visitor comments on it. It makes our home feel more personal. Definitely going to order again?thinking of one with our dog next. Highly recommend this experience.


img 2/5.0 01, Jun 2023

Lacked Communication

I submitted special instructions and they weren?t followed. I didn?t hear back from anyone until the final version was ready. It was frustrating because I wanted to feel part of the process.


img 5/5.0 30, May 2023

A Beautiful Surprise Gift

I wanted to do something unexpected for my fianc? before our wedding, so I had a painting done of the moment he proposed. I secretly snapped a photo that day, and the artist turned it into something straight out of a storybook. The lighting was romantic, the background softened, and our expressions were so full of love. It felt more magical than the real photo. When I gave it to him on our rehearsal dinner night, he was speechless. We?ve since framed it and added it to our new home together. The experience of working with PaintYourLife was wonderful. Every step?from uploading the photo to reviewing the preview?was organized and respectful. The packaging was secure, and the canvas came ready to display. This painting is now part of our story, and we?ll cherish it forever. I can?t wait to order more once we start our family. Highly recommend for meaningful, personal gifts.


img 5/5.0 23, May 2023

Will Order Again

This was my first time using PaintYourLife, and I was a little nervous. But from the beginning, it felt like I was in good hands. I submitted a photo of my best friend and me from college, and the artist completely nailed the vibe. I got to approve the preview and ask for one small change, which they did quickly. The final product looks even better in real life than online. I?ve already decided to get another one done, this time of my dog. This is now my go-to gift idea for friends and family.


img 4/5.0 18, May 2023

Took a While, But Worth It

It took a few weeks longer than I expected, but the painting was beautiful when it arrived. The artist nailed the vibe of the original photo. I do wish they had better tracking updates, though. Other than that, solid experience overall.


img 3/5.0 16, May 2023

Looks Rushed, Not Handmade

I?ve seen great reviews about PaintYourLife, so I decided to try it for my wife?s birthday. I used a candid photo of her and our daughter, hoping for something warm and emotional. Unfortunately, the painting felt rushed and generic. The expressions were off, like a vague imitation. The brushwork didn?t feel natural?it almost looked printed. I sent feedback and requested revisions, but they only made small cosmetic changes. It felt like there was no real connection to the subject matter. The final version just didn?t feel heartfelt, and my wife noticed it immediately. It?s now tucked away in a closet instead of being displayed. I expected something truly special and personalized, and instead got a lukewarm product. Support was fine, but it all felt surface-level. I won?t say it was awful, but for the price, I didn?t feel like I got something made with care. Probably wouldn?t recommend for special occasions.


img 5/5.0 08, May 2023

Loved Every Detail

The artist captured every detail perfectly and it brought tears to my eyes.


img 5/5.0 24, Apr 2023

Emotional and Perfectly Done

I commissioned a portrait of my brother and me for our mother?s birthday. We lost him a few years ago, and I found an old photo of us as kids that I thought would be perfect. The artist brought it to life in the most incredible way. They preserved the childhood innocence while adding richness and depth that no photo could ever match. The painting looked like a memory frozen in time?soft, emotional, and real. The support team was kind and responsive throughout the entire process. I was allowed to review and edit the draft, and they nailed every request. The painting came well-packaged and ready to hang. My mother cried when she opened it. She said it was like seeing him again. That moment alone made the entire experience worth it. This wasn?t just a gift?it was a piece of family history beautifully preserved. Thank you, PaintYourLife, for making that possible.


img 2/5.0 18, Apr 2023

Unclear Process

I found the instructions and communication unclear. I wasn?t sure when the preview would come or how revisions worked. The finished portrait didn?t look like what I had in mind.


img 5/5.0 13, Apr 2023

Impressive Quality

I didn?t expect it to look this professional. The canvas and frame are solid, and the brushwork is really detailed. Feels like a real piece of art, not some digital print. Happy with how it turned out.


img 4/5.0 10, Apr 2023

Good Service, Decent Timing

Not the fastest delivery, but it came within the promised window. The painting itself was very nicely done. I?d use them again if I had another special photo in mind.


img 5/5.0 04, Apr 2023

Outstanding Work

From start to finish, the process was seamless. I uploaded a picture of my family taken on vacation, and within days, I had a draft ready for review. The artist paid close attention to details?the waves, the lighting, even the shadows were so lifelike. When the final painting arrived, I couldn?t stop staring at it. My wife immediately hung it in the living room. We?ve had guests ask us where we got it done. I?m impressed by the craftsmanship and care that went into the artwork. This is now one of our favorite pieces in the house.
