Tips
Good to know
The big word is built from scenes. Each letter of DAD/GRANDPA/etc. is a miniature activity scene with the kids inside it — that's the signature.
Per-kid reference photos. Each kid toggles between a text description and an uploaded photo — so you can mix reference and described kids in the same tribute.
Activities generate nicknames. Pick Fishing and the tagline becomes “Little Fishermen”; pick Baseball and it's “Little Sluggers”.
Credit cost — same as a standard generation. Post-generation tools (background removal, sticker border) are free and run in your browser.
