Pet memorial photo collage, made of every photo you have of them
When a dog or a cat dies, the photos are what's left. Hundreds of them, scattered across old phones, cloud backups and family group chats: the first night home, the muddy walks, the sunny spot on the sofa, the grey muzzle at the end. A pet memorial photo collage brings all of them home to one frame. It's cut to the outline of their breed and holds anywhere from as few as 9 to over 1,000 of your own photos, depending on the breed, so you don't have to choose the best eight. You get to keep every one.
Choose their outline
Every outline is traced from a real profile of the breed, so the shape is recognisably them from across the room, before you even see a single photo.
Dogs
- Labrador
- The one who grew up alongside your children and waited at the door every single day.
- Golden Retriever
- All that gentleness and that tail, standing in profile and filled with every photo of them.
- German Shepherd
- Loyal to the very end. The proud stance you'd know anywhere.

- French Bulldog
- Bat ears, snores and all the love in a small square body.
- American Bully
- A big heart in a powerful frame, like Teddy above.
- Pit bull

- Ragdoll
- For the soft, floppy one who went limp in your arms every time.
- Maine Coon
- For the gentle giant who followed you from room to room.

- For the big-eared little imp who got into everything.

Any pet, any breed

- Heart
- For a mixed breed, a rabbit, a budgie: any companion whose shape is all their own.
- Their name
- The letters of their name, filled with their photos. Short names like Max, Luna or Rocco look wonderful.
- Custom shape
- Don't see their shape? We'll build a template to your shape, size and photo count.
Finding every photo of them
Most people find far more than they expected, and many say the looking was part of saying goodbye. Take it slowly.
- Let your phone do the searching. Type "dog" or "cat" into the search bar of your Photos or Google Photos app. Both can find your pet in years of pictures, and many phones group them under People & Pets.
- Ask the family. Start a shared album and ask everyone to add theirs. You'll get moments you never saw: the walks with someone else, the naps on another bed.
- Check old phones and cloud backups. The puppy and kitten years are often on a phone in a drawer.
- Look in your messages. Years of "look at him" photos sent to friends are sitting in your chats.
- Photograph the printed ones. Lay old prints by a window and take a photo of each with your phone. A soft picture still looks lovely at collage size.
Words for the print
Their name and dates sit beside the outline, and every word is yours to change in Canva. If you're not sure what to write, these are lines people often choose:
- Forever in our hearts
- Good boy. Always.
- Until we meet again
- You were loved every single day
- Run free, sweet girl
- Thank you for choosing us
- The best seat on the sofa is still yours
Some people leave just the name. There's no wrong way to do this.
How many photos fit
Each breed outline has its own minimum, from 9 photos up to about 30, and every product page lists it. From there it grows with the print: up to 140 photos on a 16 × 20″, 375 on a 24 × 36″ and over 1,000 on a 40 × 60″. Our guide How many photos do you need for a photo collage? has every size.
A gift for someone who is grieving
When a friend loses a pet, flowers fade and cards get put away. A collage of every photo of the animal they loved is something they'll keep on the wall for years. It also tells them, quietly, that you understood this was a real loss.
Many people give it a few weeks after the loss, when the first wave of sympathy has passed and the house feels quietest. To gather photos without asking outright, look through the photos they've shared online and in group chats. Or simply ask: most people are touched to be asked about a pet they've lost. Above all, get the name and dates exactly right.
Questions
Is it too soon to make one?
Only you can know. Some people make one in the first days, because gathering the photos helps. Others wait months. The template stays in your Canva account, so you can start, stop and come back whenever you're ready.
Can I make one for a cat, rabbit or horse?
Yes. There are eight cat outlines and a horse outline, and the heart and name designs work for any animal at all: a rabbit, a bird or a guinea pig. If you'd like their exact shape, the custom template can be built to it.
My dog was a mixed breed. Which outline should I choose?
Pick the breed whose shape they looked like from across a room: the ears, the back, the tail. If none feel right, the heart or their name is a lovely choice, and nobody will ever say it doesn't look like them.
What if I only have a few good photos?
Many outlines need only 9 photos, and a few dozen fill a 24 × 36″ print with each one about two inches across, so even a small set works. You probably have more than you think once you search your phone, your family's albums and your chats. And imperfect photos belong here: the blurry zoomies, the sleepy ones, the last weeks.
Should I include photos from their last days?
If you want to. Many people are glad they did, because those days were part of the love too. Others prefer to remember the good years. The only test is whether you want to see it on your wall.
What do I get, and how do I print it?
A Canva template built to your chosen outline, size and number of photos. It's $9.99 and downloads instantly. You open it in a free Canva account, drop in your photos, add their name and download a print-ready PDF to print anywhere. Our printing guide shows where to print it without overpaying.
