How it works
Have one good photo of your dog or cat? That’s all you need to start. Ordering a personalized pet product from GenzOutfit takes four steps. You upload your dog’s or cat’s photo on the product page, our team crops it and places it on the design, the item is printed to order, and it ships to your US address. Below: which photos print best, and what happens if yours can’t.
Four steps
Every order follows the same path, whether it’s pajama pants, a blanket or a pair of socks.
Pick a design and set its options: cut and size for pajamas, style and size for blankets, sock size by sock measurement. Then upload your pet’s photo, which every personalized product requires. Some blankets also take a pet name of up to 12 characters. The pet on a listing is only an example.
You don’t need to edit anything. On pet face designs, your pet’s head is cut out and repeated across the item. On photo designs, your whole picture is printed inside a frame. We print your actual photo: it isn’t redrawn or illustrated.
Nothing is printed ahead of time. Production starts after you order and takes 1–5 business days depending on the item. Pajama pants, short sets, socks and blankets are printed in the USA. Orders with two or more items take 1 extra business day.
US shipping takes 2–11 business days depending on the item. Busy holiday periods can add 5–15 business days, so order early. Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and similar areas can take up to 40–45 business days. See shipping and production times.
Custom items can’t be exchanged for a different size, so check the size guide before you order clothing or socks.
Face designs and photo designs
Pet face designs print your pet’s head small and many times over. Photo designs print one whole picture, so the background stays in. Find your product to see what matters most in the photo you pick.
| Product | How your photo is printed | What matters most in the photo |
|---|---|---|
| Pet face pajama pants, short pajama sets and the satin set | Your pet’s head, cut out and repeated across the fabric | Sharp eyes and nose, the whole head in frame, a clear edge between your pet and the background |
| Pet face socks | A small cut-out head repeated all over both socks | A close, front-facing shot with both eyes visible |
| Pet face blanket | Cut-out heads repeated across one side of the blanket | A clear, well-lit face; a busy background is fine |
| Pet photo blanket and cat photo blanket | Your whole photo, background kept, in a frame on one side | The full-size original, sharp all over, in the same shape as the blanket you pick |
| Pet memorial blanket | Your photo in an oval frame with your pet’s name and, if you add them, their years | The sharpest photo you have where the face is clearly visible |
| Pet photo socks | Your whole photo in a small framed panel on the outer side of each leg | Your pet filling most of the frame, so they read clearly at a small size |
Photo checklist
Your print can only be as sharp as the photo you upload. Run through this first.
Our pet photo guide shows the common problems and how to fix each one.
Zoom in on the eyes and nose. Fur and whiskers should look crisp, not soft or smeared.
Soft daylight on the face, your pet looking toward the camera with both eyes open. Avoid a dim room, a harsh flash or a bright window behind them.
Both ears, the crown and the chin inside the picture. On face designs, an ear that’s cut off stays cut off. A pet shot from across the room has too little detail.
No hands, toys, leashes or another pet over the head. Skip stickers, text overlays, beauty filters and strong color effects.
Upload the file your phone saved, not a screenshot or a copy re-saved from a messaging app or social media. Use a photo you took, or one its owner has said you can use.
No special gear
Nothing in your camera roll passes the checklist? A new photo takes a few minutes. For more, see how to photograph pets indoors.
Sit your pet facing a window, or go outside into open shade. Midday sun makes pets squint and casts hard shadows.
Crouch until your phone is level with your pet’s eyes, so the muzzle isn’t squashed and the chin shows.
Zooming throws away detail. Get near enough that the head fills most of the screen, with a small gap around the ears.
Tap the eyes on the screen and brace the phone. Hold a treat or toy right above the phone, or say their name.
Keep the crispest shot of a wriggly pet. Portrait mode can blur the outline of the ears, and filters change fur color.
Special cases
Often, yes. Face designs print small and many times; a photo blanket enlarges one picture up to 60 x 80 inches.
Small faces don’t need a huge file, but they do need sharp eyes and a clean outline, because at that size soft focus turns the eyes into dark smudges. A black dog on a dark couch, or a white cat against a pale wall, makes the outline harder to cut out cleanly.
The grain of a dim indoor shot and the blockiness of a compressed copy get bigger with the print. Send the full-size original and match its shape to the blanket: an upright phone shot suits a portrait blanket, a wide shot of your pet stretched out suits a landscape one.
Two pets, three pets
Each personalized item takes one photo per pet. Choose the number of pets (up to 5) in the options, and an upload box appears for each one. Our team crops each face from its photo.
Each face sharp, well lit and not covered.
Photos taken in similar light give a matching look when several pets share one design.
Yes. Choose the sharpest one where your pet’s eyes are visible. Scan paper prints, or shoot them from directly above near a window: a glossy print under a lamp picks up glare. Photos from social media or chats are usually compressed copies, so check your cloud backup or an old device for the original. A face design, where the face prints small, often suits an older photo better than a photo blanket. Our pet memorial gifts include a blanket with space for your pet’s name and years.
If your photo is too blurry, dark or low-resolution to print well, we email you before production, and your order waits for your reply. You can send a different photo, or tell us to go ahead with the one you uploaded. A flagged photo printed at your request isn’t covered as a misprint; our returns and remake policy has the details.
Ready to start
Shopping for someone else’s dog or cat? Start with our personalized pet gift ideas.
Ordering as a gift
A pajama gift, a blanket or a pair of socks all follow the same four steps. What changes is the snag each buyer runs into.
Dog moms and cat moms. Store-bought “mom” gifts show a stranger’s dog. Here step 1 is her own photo, so the face on the pajamas is the one that greets her at the door.
Dog dads and cat dads. Hard to buy for, and you don’t know his size? Pet face socks come in three sizes picked by sock measurement, so there’s no shirt size to guess.
Cat lovers. A cat who won’t sit still or look at the lens? A small turn of the head is fine if both eyes and the nose show, and in step 2 a real person checks the photo before anything prints.
Friends of a pet lover. Keeping the surprise is the tricky part. Ask someone in their home for the original photo, then enter your friend’s US address at checkout.
Families. A set where one adult wears a different print looks mismatched in photos. Upload the same photo on each product page; women’s and men’s cuts print from the same file, and every adult picks a size.
Couples. Anniversary ideas running thin and starting to feel the same? Order two pairs of pajama pants, one per cut, and upload the photo of your shared dog or cat to each.
Grandparents. They miss the grand-dog between visits and live far from it. Ship a blanket straight to their US address; a blanket can carry the pet’s name as well.
A brand-new puppy or kitten. They grow up in a blink, and nothing personal from those first months exists yet. Pick a photo from the first weeks, upload it, and we print it to order as a keepsake.
Christmas and birthday shoppers. A last-minute order is the stress point, because production only starts after you order. Order early for the holidays and check the shipping page for each style.
Ordering a sympathy gift. You may worry about asking for a photo. A partner or relative can send the original, and nothing prints until a person has looked at it.
Homes with dogs and cats. Put only the dog on it and the cat feels left out, or so the glare suggests. Choose the number of pets and an upload box appears for each one, so everyone fits on the same piece.
Shopping for yourself. No occasion, and it feels a bit awkward? Skip the excuse: your pet, your pajamas, ordered in the same four steps as any gift.
Ordering for the family? Mix any styles and sizes: one for you, one for them. Your cart always shows the final price.
Ready? Shop personalized pet gifts or customize pet face pajamas.
Quick answers
Not on every order. Our team places your photo on the design, and if the photo is too blurry, dark or low-resolution to print well, we email you before production so you can decide what to do.
No. We print the photo you upload. It is cropped and placed on the design, but not redrawn, painted or illustrated.
Usually, yes, if it’s sharp and shot in good light. Send the original file instead of a screenshot or a forwarded copy, since both are smaller and more compressed.
A small turn of the head is fine if you can clearly see both eyes and the nose. Side profiles and shots from behind don’t show a full face, so they won’t print as one.
Yes, just upload it on each product page. A photo that looks fine on socks or pajamas may still be too small for a large photo blanket, so start with your sharpest original.
No. All of our blankets, fleece, sherpa and minky, have a single-sided print. On the sherpa blankets, the print is on the fleece front and the back is sherpa fleece.
