The look
Art style (finish baked in)

- Aged Stone Photoa photorealistic image with a slightly weathered, vintage aesthetic, as if printed on aged stone with detailed textures and rough edges
- Weathered Canvasa photorealistic image with a weathered vintage aesthetic, as if printed on aged canvas with subtle fading and warm tonal shifts
- Framed Vintage Photoa photorealistic vintage photograph in an aged frame, with warm sepia tones and a soft nostalgic glow

Tips
Good to know
The finish is baked in. Each art style carries its own vintage texture (aged stone, weathered canvas, framed photo) — no separate surface picker.
Reference photo is optional. Upload a photo of your loved one for a faithful likeness, or describe them in text. Toggle “Keep as close to the reference photo as possible”to preserve exact facial features, hair, age, and clothing — this hides Expression and Attire since they come from the photo.
Subject and text positions are configurable. Default is subject upper-right, text on the left — but both can be changed to any of 6 positions each.
Tribute fields are independent. Leave any field (header, name, dates, message) blank to omit it from the composition.
Credit cost — same as a standard generation. Post-generation tools (background removal, sticker border) are free and run in your browser.
