Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the original layered file?
No, you only need a flattened image (PNG or JPG). Our AI analyzes the final image to construct a logical drawing process.
How realistic is the generated timelapse?
The AI is trained on thousands of hours of real human drawing processes, ensuring the generated strokes and color fills look natural and organic.
Can I use this for non-art images?
Yes! You can use photographs, logos, or 3D renders. The AI will interpret them and create a stylistic drawing reveal of the image.
How long can the timelapse be?
You can generate timelapses up to 60 seconds long, which is the optimal length for most short-form social media platforms.
Does it add background music?
The generated video is silent. We recommend adding trending audio natively within TikTok or Instagram for the best algorithmic reach.
Is my uploaded art safe?
Yes, we respect your copyright. Your images are only used to generate your requested video and are never used to train public models.
