Tips for better AI Bappa photos

For the best results, use a clear, well-lit photo where your face is visible. You can also specify the type of outfit, background and lighting you want. If the AI tool changes your facial features too much, add instructions such as “preserve my exact facial features and identity” and “do not alter my face”.

These prompts can be customised further for a traditional, glamorous, minimalist or fully festive Ganesh Chaturthi look.
