FAQ

How is it priced?
Each run uses credits and produces 2 images to choose from; see the pricing page for the exact amount. Credits are returned if the run fails.
What is the difference between the Standard and Premium tiers?
Standard covers portraits, pets and scenery; Premium is currently for portraits only and costs more. On some medium-to-dark skin tones the Standard tier can draw the skin lighter, so choose Premium for portraits when that matters.
Is the result a real photo?
No. The “Watercolor” result is generated by AI, and the page and the result are labelled “AI-generated”.
Will headscarves or similar coverings be changed?
For portraits the request is to keep headscarves, veils and similar coverings covering the same area: not removed, no hair shown, and no religious items added that the photo does not have. AI output cannot be guaranteed 100%; if you are not happy, generate again.
Is my photo uploaded?
Style transfer is done by AI on a server, so the photo is uploaded. The free basic tools such as crop and resize run locally in your browser.
