Frequently Asked Questions

Open ChatGPT with GPT-4o (or a current image-capable model), upload a clear photo, then paste a prompt and replace [YOUR PHOTO] (or [YOUR COUPLE PHOTO]) with a reference to your uploaded image. ChatGPT generates the steampunk version in seconds. For best results, upload a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo so your face stays recognizable.
Image models rebuild the picture rather than editing pixels, so likeness can drift, especially with heavy stylization like exposed clockwork or ornate goggles. Keep the phrase 'keep my face and likeness recognizable' in the prompt, use a high-resolution photo, and choose subtler prompts (portraits over full mechanical arms) when an accurate face matters most.
Image generation is available on paid ChatGPT plans and, in limited amounts, on the free tier depending on current usage caps. If generation is unavailable, you may have hit a daily limit — wait for it to reset or upgrade to Plus for higher limits and faster results.
Yes. The Couple category is built for two-person photos using the [YOUR COUPLE PHOTO] placeholder. Mention who is on which side and keep it to two people so ChatGPT keeps both faces accurate, since likeness precision drops as more people are added to the frame.
Images you create in ChatGPT are generally yours to use under OpenAI's terms, including commercially, but always review the current policy. Steampunk is a generic aesthetic, so you're free to build on it — just avoid recreating copyrighted characters or trademarked logos, and get consent before transforming photos of other people.
