Important Notes
Credit Costs
AI-FX uses a credit-based billing system. This price fluctuates so view your TOOLS page for credit pricing.
Performance Expectations
Average render time: ~7 seconds (varies with upload speed).
Most delay comes from uploading the original photo for processing.
Works on any supported iPad, iPhone, or Mac device that runs the Curator Live Video Photo Booth app.
AI-FX currently generates still images only, not animations.
Limitations & Best Practices
Groups larger than 8 may produce inconsistent results on Nano Banana Standard.
Nano Banana Pro is recommended for multi-person scenes.Avoid extremely low-light photos — clarity improves AI likeness and accuracy.
Ensure subjects are fully visible in-frame.
Select an appropriate final output size (4×6, 6×4, square, etc.).
For custom prompts, always test before going live.
Delivery & Printing
Guests receive the final AI image via SMS, email, QR code, or microsite.
