FAQ
Frequently asked questions
+How long does generation take?
Usually from tens of seconds to a few minutes, depending on AI service load and your chosen style.
+Are my images private?
Your images are used to support your project and generate results. Deleting a project from your dashboard removes its source files and generated images.
+What are credits?
Credits determine how many generations you can run. During the beta, credits are provided through invitation codes.
+Can I arrange several designs on one sheet?
Yes. Add saved, previously generated stencils to a single A4, A3 or custom-sized document.
+Is the result ready to tattoo?
This is an assistive tool. Always check the linework, proportions and placement on the body before using a result.
