Will it keep the details of my house?

Yes. The style is applied to your photo, so the shape of the house, the windows, the door color, the porch and the trees carry over. Generate a few variations and keep the most faithful one.

Is it a good housewarming or closing gift?

It’s one of the most popular uses: a gift for a first home, a housewarming, a wedding in a new house, or from a real estate agent at closing. Order it framed and it arrives ready to hang.

Can I make one of a home we’re leaving?

Yes, and it’s a lovely way to keep a childhood home or a grandparents’ house after it’s sold. An older photo works too, as long as the house is clearly visible.

Does it work for cabins, apartments and other buildings?

It works for any building: cabins, beach houses, townhouses, farms, churches and wedding venues. Choose a photo where the building is the clear subject.

Creating house portraits is part of a PicturaLabs plan, starting at $9 a month (€11 in the EU), and you can cancel anytime. Prints are priced separately by size, paper and frame, and you see the price before you order.

HOUSE PORTRAIT QUESTIONS

Before you take the photo

How to photograph the house, gift ideas and how printing works.

From the front, on a bright day, with the whole facade in the frame and as little in front of it as possible. Standing across the street or at the end of the driveway usually works best. Phone photos are fine.
