How To Guide

Turn a single photo into a museum-quality artwork with just a few steps!

Step 1: Upload Your Photo

  • Choose one photo of yourself, a loved one, or a pet.

  • Make sure the photo is clear, well-lit, and the subject is facing the camera.

  • You can only upload one photo per artwork.

Step 2: Choose Your Style

  • Select from our 12 curated art styles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt, Monet, Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, Cubism, Surrealism, Americana, Pop Art, and Renaissance.

  • Backgrounds are predetermined for each style to ensure fast turnaround and authentic artistic composition.

  • For single-image products (posters, canvas prints, digital downloads): Choose one style

  • For books and calendars: You automatically receive all 12 styles—one portrait in each artistic style!

Step 3: Human Review & AI Generation

  • A professional designer reviews your photo and uses the latest AI tools to generate your artwork in your chosen style.

  • Our designer carefully prompts the AI, curates the best outputs, and prepares your custom artwork.

  • This process typically takes:

    • 12–24 hours for single-image items

    • 24–48 hours for multi-image items (books with 32 pages or 12-month calendars)

Step 4: Product Selection

  • Your artwork can be applied to:

    • Digital Downloads – Single style of your choice

    • Posters – Single style of your choice

    • Canvas Prints – Single style of your choice

    • Art History Books – All 12 styles (32 pages featuring each portrait with artist/style profile)

    • Calendars – All 12 styles (one for each month)

Step 5: Preview & Approval

  • All products initially come with a watermarked proof for your review.

  • You have one revision opportunity if adjustments are needed. Simply provide your feedback, and we'll regenerate your artwork with a new watermarked proof.

  • During the revision process, background modifications may be made to better satisfy your vision.

  • Once you approve your proof, you'll receive a secure checkout link to complete your order.

Step 6: Production & Delivery

  • Digital downloads: High-resolution, unwatermarked file delivered within 1–3 business days after payment

  • Physical products: Printed and shipped within 5–14 business days depending on product type

  • International shipping available; customs or import fees may apply

Quality Guarantee

  • We stand behind our print quality. If your item arrives misprinted, with missing pages, or damaged in shipping, we'll issue one complimentary reprint.

  • Custom orders are final after proof approval—no refunds for approved designs, as you review your artwork before production.
