### Step 2: Upload Your Photo and Add Your Prompt

This is where the magic happens.

**First**, click to upload your desired photo from your PC. Choose a clear photo where your face is visible and well-lit. Front-facing photos work best.

**Then**, paste this prompt into the chat:

_"Convert this person into a pixel art avatar in 8-bit style. Keep the person’s main features (hairstyle, skin tone, face shape, and accessories like glasses). Dress them in simple clothing similar to the photo. Use clean shading, bold colors, and a retro video game look. White background. 1:1 aspect ration.”_

The combination of your photo + this specific prompt tells the AI exactly what you want: a cartoon version that looks like it belongs on a trending Instagram page.

### Step 3: Hit Generate

Click the **Generate** button and wait approximately 30-45 seconds.

Photo Studio's AI is now analyzing your photo, understanding facial features, and transforming them into a stylized cartoon character while maintaining your unique likeness.

You'll see the processing indicator—this is AI working its magic in real-time.
