AI photo effects: choose a look and prepare your photo

A good photo does more than a long prompt. Start with one clear subject, choose the effect, and keep the details you want the image to preserve in view.

Recolor a product backdrop

A plain backdrop with a clear product edge works best. Recolor a product photo background and verify the label. Mark the packaging label to check that its pixels match after export.

Choose the change you want

Crochet doll

Start with: One adult or pet

What changes: Yarn texture on the subject, or the whole scene

Check before you share: Stitch detail, hair or markings, coherent limbs

Hair color

Start with: One adult, all hair visible

What changes: Hair color in a still photograph

Check before you share: Hairline, roots, skin and eyebrows

Make a flashlight photo with a miniature of yourself

Start with: One adult portrait. Choose On your palm or On the desk. No prompt needed.

What changes: The person holds a flashlight that lights up an illustrated miniature of them on their palm or on a nearby desk. Both appear in the same still image.

Check before you share: Hands, scale, beam and matching outfit

Make a Christmas profile picture

Start with: One adult or pet

What changes: Hat, soft snow and a festive portrait treatment

Check before you share: Face, ears and circular crop

Make a vertical Christmas portrait from one photo

Start with: One clear photo of an adult who has agreed to appear. Keep the face, hair and shoulders visible.

What changes: One 9:16 still portrait beside a warm fireplace, in outdoor snow or by a lit Christmas tree. For a square Santa-hat avatar, use the Christmas profile picture maker above.

Check before you share: Facial resemblance, hair and how the holiday setting frames the subject

Make a portrait with 3D month balloon letters

Start with: One adult, ideally head to toe

What changes: A studio portrait beside stacked balloon letters. Pick November, December or January. The example on the tool page shows NOVEMBER.

Check before you share: Every letter and the full-body framing

Use a photo the effect can read

A sharp face, even light and an unobstructed hairstyle help the model retain recognizable details. Skip sunglasses, crowded scenes and heavy beauty filters. Use a photo you have permission to use; everyone shown must be a consenting adult.

For pets, show the ears and characteristic coat markings. For hair color, keep the original haircut in view. The month-letter effect needs enough room for both the subject and the complete word, so portrait framing works best.

A preview has a specific job

The WaveMira AI previews here use a fictional adult source and one selected preset per effect. Your source photo produces a new result, with variations. If a preview is still in review, the studio says so instead of presenting an unrelated picture as evidence.

These are still-image effects. A dye application video, an animated yarn doll and a miniature walking around are separate products; this collection does not promise those animations.

Check the quote and current availability

Each task makes one image. The studio shows 1K or 2K and the exact credits before submission. Photos are selected on your device first; payment must be confirmed and the effect must be open before the server accepts them. An unavailable effect does not start a model request.

After an accepted task, you can leave and return through My creations. Review the image at full size, especially faces, hands, fine text and edges. Never assume a new request is free because the previous result was different from what you pictured.

Photo and video on one topic page

Pet as Santa and Bicep Heart also have still-image modes. Pet as Santa needs one cat or dog with visible paws; Bicep Heart needs one consenting adult with shoulders, elbows and hands in frame. These two previews are static templates, separate from the five WaveMira-generated previews described above.

Each photo task costs 5 credits at 1K or 10 at 2K. Video is a separate task with its own quote and availability. Switch to video mode on the corresponding topic page for its photo roles and limitations. Neither a template preview nor a catalog entry verifies output quality or approval for sale.
