Will the royal portrait look like me?

It aims for a painting that is recognizably you, not a copy of your photo. Your face, age, hair and glasses are meant to carry through, but every feature is repainted, so small details and expression can shift.

Can I make a royal pet portrait?

Yes. Upload a photo of your dog or cat with its whole head in view, and no words: the court and color choices are written for people. Your pet is meant to keep its breed, markings and animal body, with a small crown and cape.

How is a royal portrait different from a Renaissance portrait?

Choose the Renaissance Portrait Generator for a quieter period portrait: 15th- or 16th-century dress on a dark or landscape background, under aged, cracked varnish, in a square frame. Royal portraits add a crown and throne in a lit palace hall, with clear varnish and a taller frame.

Can I print my royal portrait?

Yes, at small sizes: the 1K result suits screens and small prints. For larger prints, enlarge it with the Image Upscaler first.

How much does a royal portrait cost?

Each generation, including each new version, costs 8 YouArt credits and creates one 1K image in a 4:5 frame. Uploading a photo or picking a court costs nothing until you generate.

How it works

How to Make a Royal Portrait from a Photo

Step 1
Upload a photo or describe a monarch
Choose a sharp, evenly lit photo of yourself, your pet or someone who has agreed, or describe the age, hair and pose you want.
Step 2
Pick a court and generate
With a photo, leave the words empty for the default look, tap a court or Emerald and gold, or describe the dress yourself. Then generate.
Step 3
Check the face and crown, then download
At full size, compare the face with your photo and look over the crown. If something looks off, generate again.

The look

A Crown, Royal Robes and a Gilt Throne

One simple crown

Every crown is a gold band rising into points, each topped by a single pearl and nothing else. The painting is meant to have no picture frame, signature or lettering.

Your skin tone and head covering

Skin tone is kept rather than lightened, though the warm varnish adds a golden cast and shadows can read slightly deeper. A hijab or headscarf stays exactly as it is, with the crown over it or left off.

Three courts and one color

Each choice aims for its own look: Medieval, a wool tunic or gown with a fur-lined cloak; Baroque, brocade with a lace collar; Victorian, a high-necked silk gown or dark frock coat; Emerald and gold, green robes.

Prompt ideas

Words That Change the Dress

Describe the look you want instead of naming a real royal, a celebrity, a film or a series.

A new color for the robes

Try "sapphire blue and silver." A color alone is meant to replace the crimson; the crown and throne stay. If red remains, name the garment: "a sapphire velvet mantle."

A garment you have in mind

Try "a white silk gown with gold embroidery." A named garment is meant to be painted as described. Name one at a time, and name a period garment if a court result drifts back to crimson.
