Q: What kind of photo works best?

- Well-lit, no facial shadows
- Simple background (any background works, AI will process automatically)
- No sunglasses, hats, or other obstructions
Q: Can I upload photos with multiple people?
A: No. Please upload a photo with only yourself. AI needs to identify a single face.

Q: What image formats are supported?
A: We support common formats like JPEG, PNG, HEIC, etc.
Q: Is there a file size limit?
A: We recommend uploading photos under 10MB. If your photo is too large, please compress it first.
Q: What is no-photo generation mode?
A: No-photo generation mode allows you to generate compliant ID photos directly from text descriptions (e.g., "Asian male, business style, white background") without uploading photos.
Q: How should I describe to get the best results?
A: We recommend including:
- Gender: Male / Female

- Style: Business / Professional / Academic, etc.
- Background: White background / Blue background, etc.
- Other requirements: Front view without hat / Smile without teeth, etc.
Examples:
- "30-year-old Asian female, professional style, light gray background, natural light, smile without teeth"
- "25-year-old Asian male, academic style, library background, dark jacket, composed"
Q: Can no-photo generated images be used for official documents?
A: Yes! AI-generated photos also meet various official specifications. However, we recommend confirming acceptance with specific institutions before use.
Q: How do I choose the correct photo size?
A: Different purposes require different sizes:

A: Since November 2016, US visa photos prohibit any eyewear (including clear lenses). Our AI can automatically remove glasses or help you generate photos without glasses.
Q: How do I get credits?
A:
- New users receive free credits upon registration
- Purchase credit packages (one-time purchase, permanently valid)

Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Yes, refunds are available under certain conditions. Please refer to our Refund Policy for details. If you're unsatisfied with generated photos, you can also contact us for free regeneration.
Q: Will generated photos look too fake, like AI-generated?
A: No! We use advanced AI algorithms to ensure generated photos have 100% realism, avoiding "plastic skin" issues. Photos retain natural skin texture, lighting effects, and facial details.
Q: Can I adjust beauty filter intensity?
A: Yes! We provide natural enhancement options:
- Light enhancement: Maintains most realistic facial features
- Medium enhancement: Moderately optimizes skin tone and lighting
- Heavy enhancement: More noticeable beautification
We recommend light or medium to ensure photos meet official "true representation" requirements.
Q: Is photo resolution sufficient?
A: Yes! Photos we generate are 300 DPI resolution, fully meeting printing and official submission requirements.
Q: What if generation fails?
A: Possible causes:
- Unstable network connection: Check network and retry
- Photo quality issues: Upload a clearer photo
- Unclear description (no-photo mode): Provide more detailed description
If the problem persists, contact customer service with error screenshots.
Q: Why does generation take so long?
A: AI processing requires time (usually 10-60 seconds), depending on:
- Server load
- Generation complexity
- Your network speed
If it takes more than 2 minutes, refresh and retry.
Q: Which browsers are supported?
A: All modern browsers are supported:
- Chrome (recommended)
- Safari
- Firefox
- Edge
Use the latest version for best experience.
