Workflow Questions

How many photos can I combine into one portrait?▼

Family Photo Maker supports up to 14 individual photos in a single portrait, including pets. Most family portraits include 2-8 people.

Do all photos need to be taken at the same time?▼

No. Each person can take their photo anywhere, anytime. The AI combines them regardless of when or where the original photos were taken.

What if one person's photo is lower quality?▼

The AI does its best to harmonize different photo qualities, but results are optimal when all photos are similarly clear and well-lit. Consider retaking any blurry or dark photos.

Can I include pets in the portrait?▼

Yes. Upload a clear photo of your pet just like you would a family member. Pets count toward the 14-person maximum.

How long does generation take?▼

Most portraits generate in about 30 seconds. Complex styles or large groups may take slightly longer.

What resolution is the final portrait?▼

Portraits are generated at high resolution suitable for large prints (up to 24x36 inches) and digital sharing.
