Frequently asked questions about Somodus
What happens if I upload a photo the system cannot process?
The system will send you a notice instead of artwork. If the image safety system blocks your photo, you'll be notified alongside the artwork that it may not resemble the original scene.
Are there restrictions on what photos I can upload?
Photos of celebrities may be blocked by safety review. The tool will notify you if your photo cannot be used.
What format is the final artwork in?
A single 1:1 image with just the artwork and no extra text, ready for immediate use as profile pictures, stickers, or social media.
Can I update the drawing if I want a different result?
Yes, you can swap the photo and the drawing will be reflected from the next run.
