What Replace does
Replace swaps out the current page illustration and lets you upload your own image file instead.
This is the best option when:
you want to use a real family photo
you want to use your own drawing or illustration
you want a page to show an exact image instead of generated artwork
How to use Replace
Open the page you want to update.
Click the Edit tool in the bottom-right corner.
Select Replace.
Upload your image file.
Use the crop editor to position and crop the image so it fits the page.
Save your changes.
Once saved, your uploaded image will replace the current illustration on that page.
Can I use my own real pictures?
Yes.
You can upload your own real photos and use them instead of the generated illustrations.
This is a great option if you want your book to include actual family pictures, milestone photos, vacation pictures, or other meaningful real-life images.
Can I upload my own artwork?
Yes.
You can also upload your own:
illustrations
digital artwork

As long as the file is supported, you can use it with Replace.
Supported file types
Replace currently supports:
PNG

Why do I need to crop the image?
After you upload your image, the app opens a crop editor so you can make sure it fits the page properly.
This helps you:
frame the image the way you want
avoid cutting off important faces or details
make the page look polished in the final book
When should I use Replace instead of Edit or Regenerate?
Use Replace when you want to use your own image file on the page.
Use Edit when you want the AI to make a small change to the current generated illustration.
Use Regenerate when you want the AI to create a brand-new illustration from scratch.
Tips for best results
Use a clear, high-quality image when possible.
Leave a little extra space around faces or important details in case cropping is needed.
If you are uploading artwork, center the main subject the way you want it to appear on the page.
Preview the crop carefully before saving.
