Pictures and profile pictures
Making a picture
Describe what you want, in chat or on a call:
- "Make a poster for a jazz night called Blue Hour."
- "A watercolour of a lighthouse at dusk, wide."
The picture appears as a card in your Space. There are two kinds:
| Kind | Good for | Time and cost |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | Drafts, edits, and first pictures on a call | Faster, and costs about half as much |
| Detailed | Text in the picture, logos, faces, portraits and product shots | Slower (roughly 40 seconds), and costs about twice as much |
If you ask for Detailed, you get Detailed. Otherwise the Spark picks, and the card shows which one it used.
Shapes: square, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 or 2:3, or let the Spark choose. One picture per request. You can share up to five pictures of your own as references.
Editing a picture
Just describe the change: "now make it red", "remove the text", "make the sky darker". The same card updates in place and keeps up to six versions. Your original is always kept.
There are no masks or transparent backgrounds.
Pictures on calls
On a call, a picture comes to the front on the call's Screen view. Later edits update it without moving you around.
Saving pictures
Pictures are saved in the Space. Use Download on the web or Share on your phone to keep a copy elsewhere. If a picture does not load after two tries, the card says The picture didn't load. Tap to try again.
Profile pictures
A Spark can suggest a new profile picture, for itself or for you:
- "Make yourself a new profile picture, more playful."
- "Suggest a profile photo for me."
The Spark makes three options and you tap one to use it. You can switch later or dismiss them. Pictures are in one house style: a friendly, flat character with a clean outline, in warm clay and sand tones on cream.
- Up to 12 suggestions a day.
- Each option is charged like a normal picture.
- This works in your own chat only, never in a group or a routine.
- A Spark you created changes for everyone who sees it. An official Spark, like Calynta, changes only for you.
Pictures use credits, and Detailed pictures use more. If you are low on credits the Spark says Not enough credits to make this one.
