Names & captions
Text labels
Add separate text labels alongside the subjects — names, a title, a caption. Each label is its own entry with its own position, so you can place a name under each subject independently.
- Add/remove as many labels as you need.
- Position each label independently using the same 10-position grid.

The look
Composition presets
One-click composition presets span four families: clean defaults, patterned backgrounds, decorative framing, and depth/layering effects. Pick one to set the overall visual treatment, then fine-tune.
- Defaults — clean, balanced studio looks.
- Patterned backgrounds — dots, lines, textures.
- Decorative framing — borders, frames, vignettes.
- Depth & layering — foreground/background separation.

Tips
Good to know
Per-subject reference photos. Each subject has its own toggle between text description and an uploaded photo — so one subject can be text-described while the other uses a reference.
Positions are per-element. Subjects and text labels each place independently on the 10-position grid, giving precise layout control.
Composition is a one-click look. The presets change the whole image's framing and background treatment in a single click.
Credit cost — same as a standard generation. Post-generation tools (background removal, sticker border) are free and run in your browser.
