You really should look into viewports. They’re much easier and you can make a shop with 100s of items without creating images. (In less than 100 lines of code)
You can make the images spin too.
Here is a great tutorial:

Hello! Thank you very much for the suggestion. I brought this up to the scripter I hired for my game, and he said that although they are useful, they cause lag. I’m trying to avoid lag, so unless there is a lag-free alterative, I think I’ll pass on this feature. Thank you again though.
Thats huge cap. Look at legit every sim game with pet systems. THEY ALL use viewport frames.

You likely want to upload images where you cut out the background around your pet. Art programs are what I’m least experienced with but I’m sure you can find a few tutorials on how to do so. Googling terms like “removing background” may help although you may need to get a program like Photoshop.
So again, your issue is there being a background, so the only way to remove it while it being an image is through learning a program like Photoshop, if this is undesirable then I’ll offer some suggestions:
- There may be a “green screen method” you can do if you take a photo of a pet on a green screen (issues with green pets likely?)
- Take a photo of your pet, but on a background you already like (possibly a full blue to match your inventory) then you wont need to remove anything.
- Use a ViewportFrame that is static. Roblox announced in their ViewportFrame release that static parts take similar processing as images so there aren’t trade-offs!
Hopefully this helps.
TL;DR Easiest method is a static ViewportFrame, similar processing requirements as an image (stated by Roblox), otherwise you will need to learn how to remove backgrounds of an image.

That’s not true. They do not cause lag at all. I’ve used them in all my games and there isn’t any lag. Pretty much every shop uses them.
