Can Design Genie paint us from a photo?

The star of a design can be you: the couple on a wedding, the birthday child, the baby, the parents-to-be, the guest of honour or the whole family, depending on the occasion.

Add the photo

1. 1On the brief's Who's in it question, choose Star in your invitation.
2. 2Add one photo of everyone, or up to two (JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, up to 12 MB each).
3. 3Say who is in the photo: The couple, The birthday child, The baby, The parents-to-be, The guest of honour or The family.
4. 4Tick the consent box: these are your photos to use, and everyone in them agrees (a parent or guardian for a child). They go to our AI partners only to paint these characters.
5. 5On the Look question, choose 3D animated or Lifelike.

For the closest likeness: faces turned to the camera, in good light, with no sunglasses, masks or hands in the way. A close photo is better than one from far away. A photo where no face can be made out is turned away before anything is spent, with a reason.

What Genie does with it

• Only the face and body come from the photo; the outfit comes from the theme.
• The same face is painted once and kept, so every design, revision and later brief with the same photos shows the same character.
• They stand on the cover, move in its film (smiling, blinking, breathing, faces turned to the guest) and close the invitation on the last page.
• A likeness, not a copy: it may take a revision to get them just right.

Privacy

• Guests never see your photo, only the painting.
• A design painted from your own photos can never be published to the catalogue, copied into another design or shown as a sample, even by an admin.
• You can delete the photo from your uploads at any time.

Corporate occasions and celebrations of life have no photo star: Genie never turns a loved one into a character.
