Tips & Tricks

For best results, try to scan your photos. If taking a picture with your phone, ensure even lighting and avoid flash.

This usually happens if the face is too far away, obstructed, or at an extreme angle. Try cropping the photo closer to the face.

For best results with black and white photos, we recommend restoring the image first without colorization. Once restored, apply a second restoration with the color option enabled.

Before generating a video, make sure to restore the original image first. A higher quality image will result in a much sharper and more detailed video.

When generating videos or groups, always include a descriptive text. Explaining how you want the scene to look helps the AI better understand your vision and generate more precise results.

For the best slideshows, select between 5 and 20 photos. While we handle different shapes, using photos with consistent aspect ratios (all landscape or all portrait) often yields smoother results.

For a movie-like feel, choose 24 fps and add a slight Film Grain. This setup pairs perfectly with the "Cinematic" or "Vintage" color presets.

Use Text Overlays to tell a story. You can set the Start Time for each text layer to make captions appear exactly when a specific photo is shown.
