Great photos lead to great illustrations. Here are a few tips to get the best results:

Do:

  • Use a clear, front-facing photo where the face is clearly visible.

  • Make sure only one person is in the photo. This helps our system focus on the right face.

  • Use a photo with good lighting. Natural light works best.

  • Choose a photo where the child is looking towards the camera.

Avoid:

  • Group photos with multiple people visible.

  • Photos with sunglasses, face paint, or heavy shadows.

  • Blurry or very low-resolution images.

  • Side profiles or photos where the face is partially hidden.

You'll upload a photo for the main character, and for each supporting character you've added. If you're not happy with how a photo turned out, you can re-upload during the creation process before placing your order.
