Limits today
- It is an AI remake of the trend from your photos. It copies the look and the idea, not the original creator, their face or their footage.
- The likeness depends on your photos. A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo gives the closest match, and small details such as hands, text and jewelry can come out wrong, so check each result before you post.
- The video is built from AI frames of you, so motion can look slightly off. Check it before you post.
- This trend needs real photos of the people in it, so it cannot use an AI influencer.
- Spending credits needs a verified email, and Google sign-in alone does not count as verified.
What works best
- Past you: An old photo of you (childhood or teen years).
- Present you: A clear recent photo of your face.
