How to create an instant photo look

Create a Gemini-powered instant photo in four quick actions:

Choose a direction preset

Start from Hug Self, Dual-portrait instant look, or Single Photo to Instant Film to load tuned prompts and styling.

Upload your photos

Drop a main JPG/PNG (≤5 MB) and optionally add a second reference face (with permission). Files stay private.

Refine prompt & options

Adjust the prompt, captions, or seed, set variations, and confirm you have at least 1 credit ready.

Generate & download

Hit Generate to spend 1 credit per image. Successful jobs deliver signed HD links; failures auto-refund.

Key features of the instant photo lab

Instant Photo Lab bundles the workflow you already run manually—direction, uploads, credits, storage—into one cohesive surface.

Direction-aware presets

Start from Hug Self, Dual-portrait instant look, or Single Photo to Instant Film so you never wrestle with prompt engineering again.

Upload a primary shot plus an optional reference face for two-person keepsakes (with permission).

Integrated storage & links

Finished renders save to private storage with signed HD download links you can share instantly.

Fail-safe retries

Timeout? The credit returns instantly and a one-tap retry keeps your flow moving.
