PetPhotos is a small, focused product. No support tier, no chatbot maze — every email goes to a real inbox I check every day.

Same cat. Same coat. 25 minutes later.

I use my own product on my own cat. If it didn't work on him, you wouldn't be reading this page.

Why PetPhotos exists

I'm Max Werner, an engineer based in Germany. I wanted one picture of my cat worth framing and balked at the quote: a few hundred euros, a two-week wait, and an hour in a studio he would have spent hiding under a chair.

The image models had quietly gotten good enough that this didn't need to be the answer anymore. I built PetPhotos as the workflow I wished existed — upload photos from your phone, get a finished gallery back in about 25 minutes, pay once, own the files.

No subscription. No upsells. No "credits" that expire. The free preview exists because I don't expect you to trust an AI product with your animal on faith — you should see whether it still looks like them before spending a cent.

What you can actually count on

A small operation can't fake scale — but it can promise things a large one usually won't.

14-day money-back guarantee

If the gallery misses the mark and a free retry doesn't fix it, I refund you. No forms, no friction.

Real reply within 24 hours

Every email goes to me directly. Most replies land within a few hours during European working hours.

Your photos get deleted

Inputs and outputs auto-delete after 30 days. Earlier on request. No training on your images — ever.

Free retry on any style

If a style looks off, I'll re-run it with tighter prompts at no charge before any refund discussion.

Built on accountable infrastructure

Stripe for payments, Cloudflare R2 for storage, OpenAI for generation. No mystery middlemen.

Same operator, every order

No outsourced support. The person writing the code is the person answering your email.
