In four steps

From selection to your finished image

The process remains clear and manageable. Each step builds on the previous one.

  1. Your own photo as a personalized paint-by-numbers kit from Pictumira

    Select a design or upload your own photo

    Start with a design from our eight design worlds or transform a personal memory into your own paint-by-numbers set.

    With a pre-made design, you see immediately what image to expect. For a personalized set, upload a well-lit photo and then choose your finish.

  2. Paint-by-numbers set with canvas, paints, brushes, and reference image

    Choose size, color count, and frame

    Format and number of colors determine the picture's impact and level of detail. Only choose the stretcher frame if you really want it.

    Fewer colors are particularly suitable for a gentle introduction. A higher number of colors allows for finer transitions. On the product page, you can see the specific values for each motif.

  3. Securely packaged Pictumira Paint by Numbers set

    Production and Delivery

    Your set will be prepared after ordering and then securely packaged and sent to you.

    Delivery time is usually approx. 14–25 business days. Shipping within Germany is free.

  4. Numbered canvas is painted step-by-step

    Paint field by field

    Match each number to the corresponding acrylic paint and work at your own pace through the design.

    You can start with large areas and then move on to the details. Close the paint pots carefully during breaks to keep the paints fresh.

How to find the right set for you

Size, number of colours, difficulty, and framing determine how your project will look and how much time you want to spend on it.

  1. Size

    Choose the format that suits your space and the desired effect on the wall.

  2. Number of colors

    More colors allow for finer transitions; fewer colors usually make the start more straightforward.

  3. Difficulty

    On each product page, we categorize the design as Beginner, Intermediate, or Experienced.

  4. Frame

    Without a frame, you will receive the canvas for stretching yourself. With a frame, the matching stretcher frame is included with the chosen option.
