Make the reference count
The source photo determines how well a cat’s eyes, markings, and whiskers can be represented. A photograph taken in soft daylight usually works better than a dark indoor snapshot. The tool interprets the photo artistically, so a good reference helps but does not guarantee an exact reproduction.
Pick the right photo
Wait until the cat is relaxed and photograph at its eye level. Keep both ears inside the image and use a simple background. Remove strong color filters before uploading. For a white cat, preserve shadow detail around the nose and cheeks instead of overexposing the fur.
Choose the mood and details
Watercolor leaves space and soft edges around the face; Renaissance and Royal add clothing and atmosphere. Choose one style first, then add a brief background or mood request if needed. All notes and the image undergo review before any generation begins.
Review before you unlock
Compare eye color, nose shape, and coat patches in the preview. If the interpretation does not feel right, there is no need to unlock it. Uploaded photos are private and are not published as gallery pages. Downloaded files are digital artwork; you can arrange a print separately.
