FAQ

Can I include landmarks in the figurine?
The focus is on you, but landmarks can be suggested in the base design or background. The AI primarily captures your likeness and pose.
What if my travel photo quality is poor?
Phone photos work fine if the face is clear. Avoid heavily compressed or blurry images. Enhancement tools can help improve older travel photos.
Can I create figurines from video screenshots?
Yes, if the screenshot is clear with visible facial features. 4K video screenshots often work well.
How do I handle group travel photos?
Upload the full group for a multi-person figurine, or crop to individuals and create separate figurines to display together.
