Plenty of folks expect Pixar-level results on Day 1 because their plan says “75 images/month.” Reality check: you don’t buy a guitar on Monday and play Madison Square Garden on Friday. This is a live deal and a real tool. Give it a couple of weeks and you’ll ship illustrations you simply wouldn’t have made otherwise—consistently.

Here’s the part the maker oddly underplays: the real magic isn’t the text prompter—it’s the image transformer. Less “magic wand,” more turbocharged workbench. Built by cool people for cool people.

Why it clicks...
- Consistent style, zero drama: Your brand stays on-model—even if the source is a quick phone shot.
- Fast workflow: Upload ? lock your style ? done. From “meh” to “whoa” in minutes.
- Repeatable, not mystical: It’s craft, not coin-flip prompts.

Real-world use cases
* Example 1 — Photo ? Brand Illustration
Stage the scene with coworkers/friends, snap a pic, upload, pick the same style every time. Result: on-brand art, no stale stock vibe. From office lighting to spotlight.
BTW: Since my wife is way too photogenic (yep! *g*), I recruited a couple of coworkers who aren’t exactly cover models—and guess what, the illustrations still came out perfect! ;-)

* Example 2 — Your own character pack (feat. me, the Magic-GUI-Maker™)
Hire a small-time illustrator—say, me on a double espresso, your resident Magic-GUI-Maker™—to sketch ~30 basics. Upload, lock the style, done. From then on, revive those brand characters endlessly—no style breaks, no headaches.

*Example 3 — Inspired, not copied
Spot a graphic you like? Upload as reference and transform it into your look. Same vibe, original execution. “Familiar energy, yours for real.”

*Example 4 — Flip your brain to ON
Take a breath, actually follow tips 1–3, and watch the glow-up: photos turn into illustrations, and simple graphics become far more cohesive. It’s the “ohhhh” moment you’ll want to replay. ;-)

Fair wishlist (not deal breakers)
- Delete weak results: Not possible yet, so galleries can get crowded. Would be nice.
- More styles for photo uploads: A few styles didn’t latch onto my own images—bug/feature? Likely to get ironed out.
- Prompt on upload: A free instruction field right next to the image would speed iteration a lot.

Since that’s not built-in (yet), keep this tiny starter prompt handy:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----> Goal: Turn my upload into a consistent brand illustration.
-----> Style: [Your fixed style name]
-----> Focus: Clean lines, reduced brand color palette, no photo textures.
-----> Output: Half-body, neutral background, web-header friendly.

Bottom line
Once you “get” what’s happening here, the jaw drops on cue: photos become illustrations; rough sketches become consistent, on-brand assets. No hype—just that solid “aha, that’s how.” I don’t need illustrations daily, but when I do, this is the button I want. Also watching that upcoming video feature like a hawk.

AppSumo, thanks for putting up with picky customers—I know a guy. To the makers: keep that cool-for-cool vibe. Big on game-changers? Same here. Thx for your time!
