FAQ
Can I make a caricature of someone else, like a friend?
Yes — use their photo the same way; just make sure you have their photo and their okay to create and share an exaggerated version of it.
What if the result feels mean instead of funny?
Ask for a re-generation with an explicit “warm and affectionate, not mean-spirited” instruction, and consider naming fewer features to exaggerate at once.
Can I request a caricature of a public figure or celebrity?
This prompt is built for your own or a consenting friend’s photo — avoid generating caricatures of public figures, which raises separate likeness and publicity concerns.
