FAQ
Do I need to upload my own photo for a double exposure portrait?
Uploading a clear silhouette-friendly photo helps the AI preserve your actual likeness in the blend, though you can also generate a fully AI-created figure if you don't want to use a personal photo.
What makes a double exposure prompt work well?
High contrast between a dark silhouette and a lighter blended scene is what makes the effect read clearly — mentioning "high contrast black background" in your prompt helps achieve that.
Can I choose a scene other than nature, like a specific hobby or interest?
Yes. Swap the blended scene for anything meaningful — books, musical instruments, sports imagery — while keeping the silhouette and high-contrast styling consistent in your prompt.
