The short version
You upload one photo. The system creates six school-portrait variations that keep the same face and identity while changing setting, lighting, and composition details.
Step 1: The upload
We accept clear, high-resolution photos. The system checks file type, size, and basic quality so we can deliver print-ready results.
Step 2: The portrait composition
We use curated portrait compositions that define lighting, backdrop, and styling. The composition controls the look while keeping the identity consistent.
Step 3: Generation and review
Our model generates six variations. You preview them with watermarks and rate your top portraits before ordering.
Step 4: Print production
When you order prints, we prepare high-resolution files for our print partner. Your order is produced on archival photo paper.
Privacy and retention
Uploaded originals are deleted on a short schedule. Portraits are kept longer only if you purchase so you can re-order or share with family.
