About the ad
You'll need to finish a rewarded ad before we draw. Your photo isn't sent until the ad is over.
What happens to my photo?
Your photo is sent to an external AI service to make the drawing. The app doesn't separately store your photo or result. Only drawings you report are kept for review.
Notifications
We'll only send a notification when we add a new drawing style or release an important app update. You can turn this off anytime in device settings.
