AI uses your photo as the reference, creates animation frames, then the backend prepares a locked preview and .petpet package.
3. Pay to unlock and receive
Complete payment to unlock the generated preview, private .petpet pack, and delivery links on your order page.
Photo requirements
Upload a normal pet photo: phone photos of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and other pets are fine. No transparent background or manual cutout is required.
Only unusable uploads are blocked: extremely small, very blurry, too dark, almost blank, or extremely narrow images.
AI handles the background: the system uses your photo as the reference, generates an action sheet, then packages it for the desktop app.
Desktop pet use cases
Dog and other pet desktop pets
Dog, rabbit, parrot, and other clear pet photos can also be used as AI references to create a custom desktop pet and .petpet file.
Mac and Windows desktop pets
After payment, get PetPal Desktop for Mac or Windows and import the emailed .petpet file into the desktop app.

What is PetPal Studio?
PetPal Studio is an AI desktop pet studio and maker that turns a real pet photo into a custom animated .petpet package for PetPal Desktop.
Is PetPal a desktop pet studio or desktop pet maker?
Both phrases describe the same PetPal workflow: upload a pet photo, pay once to unlock the generated preview, then receive a private .petpet pack.
Do I need to code a desktop pet?
No. PetPal Studio is not a coding tutorial. It creates the action frames and .petpet package from a clear pet photo so you do not need to draw sprites or build a desktop runtime.
Is a desktop buddy the same as a desktop pet?
In this product, yes. Desktop buddy, desktop companion, and desktop pet all refer to a small animated companion that can appear on your Mac or Windows desktop.
Can I make a desktop pet from my cat photo?
Yes. PetPal Studio can turn a cat photo into a custom desktop pet, including silver tabby cats, orange cats, ragdolls, British shorthairs, American shorthairs, and other common cats.
Can I create a dog, rabbit, or bird desktop pet?
Yes. Dogs, rabbits, parrots, and other clear pet photos can be uploaded. The system uses the original photo as an AI reference to generate action frames.
What is a .petpet file?
A .petpet file is a desktop pet package imported by PetPal Desktop. It contains generated action frames, a preview image, and desktop pet configuration.
Does PetPal support Windows desktop pets?
Yes. PetPal supports Mac and Windows desktop apps. After payment, customers can access the desktop app links and receive their .petpet pack by email.
Can I preview before paying?

How much does it cost, and when do I pay?
The current listed price is a one-time USD 10 purchase for one desktop pet pack. You upload the photo, pay once, then unlock the generated preview and delivery links on the order page.
