Your free generation counter resets every 24 hours. You can wait for reset, or unlock 4K HD for outputs you already like. We do not force you to buy anything.

Photo Input & Likeness Questions
Use a well‑lit photo where your pet’s face and eyes are clearly visible. Head‑and‑shoulders framing works best. Avoid heavily blurry, back‑lit or cluttered shots. You can improve photos on your phone/computer before uploading. Read: Conseils pour retoucher les photos de vos animaux de compagnie : donnez à vos photos un rendu professionnel avant de les générer par IA.
High‑quality source photos greatly improve the chance to retain unique features. However, AI creates artistic reinterpretation, not pixel‑perfect copy. Some fantasy‑heavy styles will intentionally smooth fine details. Generating multiple rounds increases your chance of getting a great match.
Most low‑likeness issues come from poor‑quality source photos, bad lighting, busy backgrounds, or choosing highly stylized fantasy themes. Troubleshooting steps are covered here: Erreurs courantes dans la création de portraits d'animaux de compagnie à l'aide de l'IA et comment y remédier.
Multi‑pet photos can work, but likeness quality often drops. We recommend generating each pet separately and combining images locally on your device afterwards.
Privacy & Data Safety
Uploaded photos are processed in real‑time inside your browser session. We do not permanently store your original photos, and we never use them for AI model training. This is especially important for irreplaceable old memorial pet photos.
Yes. Since source photos are not stored long‑term, it is safe to upload precious old snapshots of departed pets. For memorial‑specific guidance: Mémorial pour animaux de compagnie Portraits générés par IA : comment rendre hommage à votre animal de compagnie disparu.
Output, Printing & Usage

PNG format, high‑resolution 4K, no watermark. You save it locally to your device.
Yes. Once you download the file to your phone or computer, you are free to crop, adjust brightness, add text, make collages using your own local software. We do not provide built‑in in‑site editing tools.
For personal non‑commercial use: printing, gifts, home decor, social‑media sharing is allowed. Commercial usage (sell prints, merchandise) is not permitted under current terms.
Memorial‑Related Questions
Yes. Many pet owners create memorial tributes using old snapshots. Choose soft timeless styles like watercolor, oil painting, vintage photo or pencil sketch. Use your clearest available old photo. See full guide: Pet Memorial AI Portraits: How to Honor Your Departed Pet.
Mild fading and soft focus can work. If eyes and facial features are completely unrecognizable, even AI cannot recreate lost details. Improve brightness and color balance locally before upload.
Technical & Troubleshooting
AI‑generated art sometimes creates anatomical glitches, more common for full‑body shots. Switch to head‑and‑shoulders framing and regenerate. Read our troubleshooting article: Erreurs courantes dans la création de portraits d'animaux de compagnie à l'aide de l'IA et comment y remédier.
