Will it look like you, and which photo will work

Almost everything depends on the photo: the face on the postcard is generated from it.

  • Will it look like me? Facial features are preserved, but we don't guarantee an exact likeness: the result depends on the photo. What you see on the free preview is what you get.

What you need

  • JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 20 MB
  • Entire face, close-up, and in focus
  • Even lighting without harsh shadows
  • From one to four people: upload a separate photo with a single face for each
  • You have the right to use this photo
  • If a child is in the photo, confirmation that you are a parent or guardian is required

Common mistakes

Face is too small, wide shot
Upload a closer shot or crop to the shoulders.
Dark photo or strong backlight
Choose a shot in even daylight.
Sunglasses or hand near the face
Pick a shot where eyes and chin are clearly visible.
Multiple people in the photo
Crop the photo so only one person remains.

Questions about photo cards

How much does a postcard cost, and what is free?

The preview is free and has a watermark. The watermark-free postcard costs 149 ₽. You see the price before uploading a photo.

Will the person on the postcard resemble the photo?

Facial features are preserved, but we don't guarantee an exact likeness. It works best with a close-up, sharp photo in even light. The result can be seen in the free preview.

Which photo will work?

A JPEG, PNG, or WebP file up to 20 MB. You need a shot where the face is close-up, in focus, and in even lighting: how closely the postcard resembles the person depends on the photo. Sunglasses and hands near the face interfere. It's best to upload a photo with just one person. See the full list of requirements in the “Which photo will work” section on this page.

Where is the watermark, and does it cover the face?

The watermark is tiled across the entire picture, including the face and text. The preview is smaller in size than the watermark-free postcard: it shows the composition and text, but the face under the watermark is less visible. The preview cannot be downloaded or forwarded. The watermark-free postcard is available only after payment.

What if there is a typo in the name?

Click “Edit” under the preview and write what to change, for example: “change the name to Tatyana”. We will fix the text on the finished postcard rather than remaking it from scratch. This is free, up to 2 times per postcard, and only before payment. Minor differences in the picture are possible, so check the result before paying.

Can I change the design or text after the preview?

The text can be edited: there is an “Edit” button under the preview. This is free, up to 2 times per postcard, and only before payment. The design cannot be changed in a finished preview: choose another design and generate a new preview—it is also free. The preview cannot be downloaded or forwarded: the watermark-free postcard is available after payment.

Can I make multiple postcards?

Yes, without restrictions. Every preview is free; you only pay for the postcard you want watermark-free. For example, a card for Mom's birthday, and then for a homeroom teacher on Teacher's Day. A photo is uploaded anew for each new postcard.

What file format will I receive, and how do I send it?

After payment, you will receive the watermark-free postcard in JPEG format. We will send it to the email you provide during checkout and save it in your account created with that email. You can also download the file using the “Get in account” and “Get in Telegram” buttons on the post-payment page: they remain active for 48 hours after payment. The email with the file remains with you, and you can forward the postcard in any convenient way.

What happens to my photo?

The photo is used only to create the postcard. We delete the photo, preview, and unpaid postcard within 2 days. The paid postcard is sent to your email and remains in your SelfyStudio account created with that email. For details, see our Privacy Policy.

Do I need to register?

There is no separate registration form: when you enter your email, we create a SelfyStudio account for you. No need to create a password; you can log in via a link from the email or through Yandex. Your postcards are stored in your account, where you can also buy tokens later for other SelfyStudio features.

What emails will you send?

Transactional ones: the postcard, receipt, login link, and notifications about your order. We send emails with ideas and discounts only if you checked the box: it is unchecked by default. You can unsubscribe via the link in any such email; order-related emails will still be delivered.

Can I create a postcard using someone else's photo or a photo of a child?

Yes, if you have the right to use this photo: you confirm this with a checkbox before starting. A photo of a child requires separate confirmation that you are a parent or legal guardian.

How is this different from a ready-made picture or frame?

A pre-made picture is the same for everyone, and a frame is just overlaid onto the photo as is. Here, a neural network builds a postcard from your shot: it features the face from the photo and your text.
