Common Questions

What machines does Photo Forge support?
Every output is machine-ready. The B&W threshold variant works with any laser engraver (LightBurn, xTool, Glowforge, Snapmaker). The raw PNG drops into DTF printers, heat presses, sublimation, and Cricut Print Then Cut workflows. The inverted variant is built for the Norton White Tile method on coated tiles.
How long does generation take?
About 30 seconds per style. Photo Forge I (2 styles) takes ~1 minute. Photo Forge III and Upload Complete (5 styles) take about 3 minutes total. You'll get a download link as soon as the bundle is ready.
Will my photo look exactly like the original?
Yes. Photo Forge is identity-preserving — faces, expressions, and likenesses are kept intact. The AI converts the photo to an artistic style without changing who's in it. Tested across humans, pets, and group photos.
Will outputs always be black and white?
The Watercolor Sketch style is designed to embrace color — soft earth tones, warm sepias, or color pops. The other four styles lean black-and-white but may show subtle warm tones (especially Vintage Engraving, which historically had sepia in real Victorian books). Every output also ships as a clean B&W threshold variant for laser work, no matter what the raw version looks like.
Can I sell products made with Photo Forge files?
Yes — every Forge file comes with an Own It Certificate confirming your design rights. Use the files for personal projects, Etsy sales, custom commissions, or product lines. You own what you make.
What photo works best?
Clear face photos with good lighting work best — ideally 1200×1200 pixels or larger. Group photos work, multi-pet photos work, full-body shots work. Photos with cluttered backgrounds get cleaned up automatically. Avoid blurry phone shots or heavily filtered images.
