Fancy Cafe AI Photo Guide & Likeness Help

Choose a better reference photo, understand cartoon limitations, and troubleshoot face drift or unnatural motion.

Start with a clear reference

One recognizable subject per photo gives the generator a clearer reference. Check the input before starting a render.

File checklist

  • JPG or PNG, up to 6 MB per photo.
  • At least 300 × 300 pixels; a sharper original is better than an enlarged thumbnail.
  • Convert HEIC or unsupported formats before uploading.

Face checklist

  • Face the camera in soft, even light.
  • Keep the eyes, nose, mouth, and hairline visible.
  • Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, blur, and several faces in one file.

Roles and permission

  • Solo and Pet use one photo.
  • Duo photo 1 sits on the table; photo 2 walks in.
  • Use consenting adults or your own pet. No minors, celebrities, or public figures.

Review the preview before buying. A separate paid render can differ, and a better photo cannot guarantee a perfect face or motion. Read how photos are processed.

Your questions, answered

Can I make a fancy cafe video with a cartoon or illustrated character?

The current modes are designed for photographs of adults or pets and aim for a photoreal cafe scene. There is no dedicated cartoon or illustration mode, and we cannot promise that an illustrated character or its art style will be preserved. For the most predictable input, use a supported real photo you have permission to use. Do not buy a pack expecting a guaranteed cartoon conversion.

Why doesn’t my AI-generated fancy cafe video look like my photo?

A small, blurry, filtered, shadowed, or side-facing reference can make identity harder to preserve. Multiple faces or the wrong Duo upload order can also confuse the result. Try a sharper, front-facing photo with even light and one subject per file, check the roles, and use a free preview when available. AI may still change facial details. A completed video with a likeness concern is not automatically a failed render; contact support with your order reference if needed.

How can I avoid distorted faces or unnatural movements in my fancy cafe AI video?

Start with an unobstructed face, natural proportions, even light, and a simple background. Use a separate photo for each Duo role and avoid extreme close-ups, heavy beauty filters, motion blur, or cropped facial features. Pet photos should show a single animal clearly. Review the preview for face drift, hands or paws, cups, and the table transition. These steps can help, but no input can guarantee artifact-free AI motion.
