Big love,
tiny form.
PawChibi is a small studio of pet-loving artisans.
We turn the pet you'd do anything for into a hand-painted chibi keepsake — a few photos in, one tiny twin out, made with a slightly unreasonable amount of care.
A photo lives on your phone.
Your pet deserves a spot on the shelf.
PawChibi started as one person, a couple of very loud 3D printers, and a lot of coffee — because "just a photo" never felt like enough. These days we're a small studio of pet-loving artisans: printers, sanders, painters. People who are good at very small things, and careful with them.
There's something about a little sculpture of your dog, cat — or bunny, lizard, parrot, whoever — sitting on your desk that a camera roll can't do. It's the family member you love most, made small enough to travel, sturdy enough to keep forever.

from photos to your doorstep, worldwide
We only make pets. On purpose.
People judge human faces with brutal precision — a jaw 2% off and a portrait feels like a stranger. Pets get judged by something warmer: the ear that never stood up, the crooked tail, the exact patch over one eye.
By focusing only on pets, every ounce of our craft goes into fur, markings and personality — not into being mediocre at everything. It's the whole reason a PawChibi actually looks like your pet, and not just a generic cute animal.
“ Chibi keeps maybe 20% of a pet's visual information. The craft is choosing the right 20% — so anyone who loves them recognizes them instantly.
Honest about how the magic happens
No mystique, no over-promising. Here's the real process behind every figurine.
AI sketches it. Hands finish it.
We won't pretend it's all chisels and clay: AI does the first pass on every 3D model — our artisans do everything after. Resin-printed, hand-sanded, hand-painted, one at a time. Machines are precise — hands make it feel alive.
A human reviews every photo
Within 24 hours, before anything is made. If a photo won't translate well, we reach out — we'd rather ask than disappoint.
One order, one artisan
Every order is matched to one of our artisans, who takes your piece from print to paint. It's also why our workshop clips all look a little different — different hands, different benches.
Just 100 commissions a month
Small batches keep the painting careful and the quality personal. When the month is full, it's full — every piece gets the time it deserves.
The Remake Promise
If your figurine arrives damaged, defective or isn't what you ordered, we remake it once, free — just send photos within 14 days. A keepsake should never be a regret.
