How is a pet keychain made from a photo?

One clear photo where you can see their face and markings. A normal phone photo is plenty, and extra angles help us catch more detail.

Selfies work too: one cat keychain was made from a cheek-to-cheek selfie and a photo of her stretched out on the sofa.

Only have a difficult photo? Send it anyway: the free preview shows what we can make from it before you pay anything. One black dog keychain was made from a photo where he lay mostly in shadow with his back half turned; his red harness gave us his shape and scale.

Not sure which photo works best? Message us and we'll help you choose.

Yes. Each one is designed from your photo and printed in full colour, so patches, stripes and colouring are matched. Nothing is printed until you've seen and approved a 3D preview of your piece.

What they wear in the photo can come along: a Pomeranian's cowboy hat kept its star and chin cord. Something that isn't in the photo can be added too, like the yellow Brazil football shirt, number 10 included, that a Yorkie got for its keychain. Tell us in the note when you send your photo.

Three sizes: 3, 4 and 5 cm, about 1.2, 1.6 and 2 inches. 4 cm is the most popular choice for keys.

• 3 cm: barely there on a keyring
• 4 cm: the most popular choice
• 5 cm: chunky enough to spot in a bag

For scale, a €1 coin is 23.25 mm across, so a 5 cm keychain is just over two coins tall.

Would you rather have a figure for a shelf? A dog figurine or cat figurine comes in 6, 8 and 10 cm.

The keyring loop is part of the model, not glued on after. On the Pomeranian in the cowboy hat, for example, it sits on top and takes the keyring.

From €32.99, VAT included, with free tracked shipping and all duties and import VAT included. The preview is free, and no card is needed.

The price of every size is on the pet keychain page and on our prices page.

Your preview appears on screen in under a minute, with a copy by email. Once you order, we make your keychain in 6 business days, then tracked shipping takes 10 to 16 days, with all duties and import VAT included.

Yes, from a photo you already have. You see a free preview first, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

For a keepsake to keep on a shelf: pet memorial figurines.

Yes: the MiniME keychain is a person's head on a keyring, in the same three sizes. Each keychain is one person's head or one pet; for two people together, choose a statue.

Clean it gently with a soft dry cloth, and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight. It's a decorative collectible, not a toy.
