Built for the way custom pet art sells on Etsy
Three things every custom-portrait listing needs — and why generic tools miss them.
Speaks "commission", not "in stock"
Custom, personalised, made-from-your-photo, hand-drawn — the language a buyer commissioning a one-of-a-kind piece searches for, not generic wall-art copy.
Names your medium and style
Watercolour, digital, line-art, oil, cartoon, pop-art; print or digital download. The style and format keywords buyers filter by, written in for you.
Handles the memorial angle with care
Memorial and remembrance portraits are a big share of this niche. The copy is warm and respectful — never gimmicky — and only when you ask for it.

Pet portrait seller questions, answered
Honest answers, no marketing fluff.
My listing is a commission, not a fixed product — does it get that?
Yes. Tell it the piece is custom / made from the buyer’s photo and the copy is built around the commission: what the buyer provides, the style options, and that each portrait is unique. It uses the "custom", "personalised" and "from your photo" phrasing that commission-shoppers actually search for, instead of generic in-stock wall-art copy.
Can it describe my medium and style accurately?
Upload a sample of your work and Vision AI describes the visible style — watercolour softness, bold line-art, a cartoon look. For anything not obvious (oil vs acrylic, "minimalist single-line"), add it to your prompt. It is told not to guess, so it will not mislabel your medium.
Does it handle memorial / remembrance portraits sensitively?
Yes, and only when you ask. Mention that it is a memorial or remembrance piece and the tone stays warm and respectful — no clichés, no over-selling. Leave it out and the copy stays neutral. You are always in control of the tone.
What about digital downloads vs physical prints?
Both work. Tell it whether the buyer receives a digital file, a printed piece, or both, plus sizes or formats, and the listing frames delivery correctly — including digital-download tags for instant-delivery buyers, which sell well as last-minute gifts.
Does it write titles the way Etsy now recommends?
Yes. Per Etsy’s April 2026 guidance, titles state what the item is once ("Custom Pet Portrait"), front-load the traits that matter (medium, style, format), and stay under 15 words — no keyword stuffing. Gift and occasion angles move to your 13 tags where Etsy search reads them too.
