Google Arts & Culture has recently introduced Pet Portraits, a new way to discover your pet’s ‘art doubles’ among tens of thousands of works from Google‘s partner institutions globally.

The Pet Portraits is free on Google Arts & Culture app for Android and iOS. It works by opening the rainbow camera tab in the app to get started. It allows you to discover your pet’s look-alikes and compare photos to artworks from museums around the world.

According to Google, your animal companion could be matched with ancient Egyptian figurinesvibrant Mexican street artserene Chinese watercolors, and the like.

“When you take a photo in Pet Portraits, our trained computer vision algorithm recognizes where your pet is, crops the image and puts them where they belong: front and center. Once that is done, a machine learning algorithm matches your pet’s photo with over tens of thousands of artworks from our partners’ outstanding collections to find the ones that look most similar,” said Michelle Luo, Product Manager of Google Arts & Culture in a blog post.

Moreover, Pet Portraits invites you to tap on your result to learn about the stories and artists behind each artwork. What’s more, Google Arts & Culture also allows you to discover more about our pets throughout history.
