The honest bit
What to know before you generate
- Likeness needs a clear photo. A well-lit, front-facing, single-subject selfie gives the best face match.
- It leans into the cliches. Big hair, grain and mall-studio light are intentional — dial them down if you want subtle.
- Details vary between runs. Wardrobe and hair change each generation; regenerate to get the look you want.
- Use photos you own. Only upload photos you have the right to use and share.
