What is a watercolor portrait and how does it work?

The watercolor portrait is the fastest and most affordable way to transform your photo into an illustration. You upload your photo and see the result in the editor within 30 to 60 seconds. No waiting, no surprises afterward: what you see on the screen is exactly what you get.

Here's how it works:

  1. Upload your photo: a recent family photo, an older memory, or a group photo with all generations
  2. See your portrait instantly: the watercolor illustration appears in the editor within a minute
  3. Personalize as desired: add a name, date, or personal text and choose a font
  4. Receive it at home: printed on 192-gram premium matte paper, delivered within 1-3 business days

Start affordably: from just €29.95 for an A4 size. If you choose a frame, framing is included free of charge, and you'll receive the portrait ready to hang.

What hand-drawn illustration styles are available?

Do you want a completely handmade illustration? Then you can choose from three styles. Each style is hand-drawn and can be fully customized to your wishes.

Portrait illustration poster – realistic
For those who want a detailed photo illustration that stays close to the original photo. A beautiful gift that exudes luxury and warmth.

Portrait illustration poster – minimalist
A soft, modern style that fits into any interior. Subtle, stylish, and truly personal.

Line drawing portrait illustration (line art)
Clean, elegant lines that capture the essence of the moment. Timeless and very popular as a gift.

What occasions are suitable for giving a family illustration as a gift?

A family portrait drawing or personalized family poster is popular as a gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, births, housewarmings, or Christmas. But also as a photo-to-drawing gift without a specific occasion: something lasting for the wall that touches the whole family. A drawn family poster also works beautifully as a wedding gift or wedding illustration for the newlywed couple.

Short on time? Then the watercolor portrait is ideal: you personalize it yourself, see the result immediately, and receive it within 1 to 3 business days.
