Which photos work best?
A normally lit photo works best. You do not need to send a dark photo or wear formal clothes.
Do I need an evening photograph?
No. A clear daylight photo gives the painting more facial detail to work with. The evening light is part of this style.
How does it work?
- Add up to five reference photos to create one painting.
- Review your free preview and request an edit if needed.
- Choose a download or an available print format, then review the size and price before checkout.
What files can I upload?
JPEG, PNG and WEBP photos up to 10 MB each. If your phone uses another format, export the photo as a JPEG first.
