A clear, well-lit photo works best · JPG or PNG
2 Which birthday?
Any number from 1 to 999 — or a class year like 2027.
Decor only gives you the balloons, florals and styled set with no numeral in it — good for smash sessions, cake tables and plain styled backdrops.
Photographing a group of children on one backdrop? Make the set once in Backdrop Studio, download it, then load it here. Every child you run gets placed into that exact set, so the gallery matches.
Or pick one of Ana’s fine-art floral sets — the subject is placed into it with the light and the shadow worked out to match.
3 Choose a color
Builds the scene from the colours in your photo — the outfit, the props, the tones you already styled.
Want a theme that isn’t listed?
Type it below — anything your client booked. It overrides the chips above.
Generic looks only — no branded characters, even if the theme name is one.
If your little one hasn’t got teeth yet, say so — an open smile makes the AI want to add them, and this stops it.
The face from your photograph is pasted back over the generated one — the eyes, nose and mouth. The hair, the head shape, the body and the clothing are still generated, so they can come back different even with this on. Works best on a close crop where the face is large in frame; on a full-length shot it often can’t find enough to work with, and it will say so.
4 Number shape
5 Child placement — inside the number or beside it
The two wall recess options are a different look altogether: the number is cut back into a plain plaster wall as a lit alcove, filled with a tiny world from your chosen theme. The wall around it stays completely bare. Leaning beside stands them in front of the wall next to it; sitting inside seats them in the opening with one leg hanging out over the edge.
5b Caption (optional)
6 Size / shape
The palette and style stay locked to brand — this just adds detail. Describe what you do want: saying “no” to something here tends to make it show up, because the word itself is a hint.
