## The short answer

Pick the portrait from your photo if you want to see yourself (or a friend who agreed) as Malfoid. Pick the portrait without a photo if you want the character itself, for a wallpaper, a reference or a profile picture that is not your face. Both are still 3:4 portraits at $4.99, or 2 credits.

## The two presets side by side

|  | Portrait from your photo | Portrait without a photo |
| --- | --- | --- |
| You upload | One photo of one adult | Nothing |
| The face | Kept from your photo | A fictional adult |
| The look | Long platinum hair, white shirt, green striped tie, dark robe, upper body | The same look, chest up, with a painterly finish |
| The scene | A candlelit academy corridor | A candlelit corridor or a moonlit courtyard |
| Output | One still 3:4 picture at 1K | One still 3:4 picture at 1K |
| Price | $4.99 or 2 credits | $4.99 or 2 credits |

## When to use your photo

This is the default and the reason most people come: the trend is about seeing a familiar face as Female Malfoy. It works best with a clear, front-facing photo, and the photo guide explains what that means in practice.

Expect the face to be recognizable but not identical. The portrait changes hair, light and styling, and generated images can soften or slightly reshape features. If the result does not look like the person, a different photo usually helps more than trying the same one again.

## When to skip the photo

Use the no-photo preset when you want the character rather than a person: a phone wallpaper, a picture for a fan post, or a reference for your own drawing. It is also the right choice when you do not want to upload anyone's face, or do not have permission to use one.

The person in it is invented, so it should not be presented as anyone real.

## Why there is no prompt box

Both presets have their look and scene saved. You cannot type a description or pick another background. That is deliberate: a fixed scene keeps the results in the recognizable Malfoid look and means you do not have to learn prompt wording. Other settings you may have seen in fan art, such as a library, a moonlit court or a snowy bridge, are shown on this site as references, not as separate presets.

## What both presets share

Both presets make one still picture per payment, in a 3:4 frame, in the same green and silver Malfoid look. Neither adds text, crests or logos on purpose, and the studio does not add a watermark. Both are unofficial fan art, and a portrait from either should be shared as such.

## Paying once or with credits

Either preset can be paid once, as a guest, at $4.99. Signed-in accounts can buy one-time packs instead: $13.99 for 30 credits, $35.99 for 100 or $59.99 for 200. At 2 credits a portrait, 100 credits make 50 portraits, and the presets can be mixed. Packs do not renew, and new accounts start at zero credits.

If you are trying several photos to find the one that works best, a pack is cheaper per portrait. For a single picture, paying once is simpler.

## Which one fits

A few common cases:

- 'I want to see myself as Female Malfoy': portrait from your photo
- 'I want a Malfoid picture for my friend': portrait from their photo, with their permission
- 'I want a Malfoid wallpaper': portrait without a photo
- 'I want a profile picture but not my face online': portrait without a photo
- 'I want to draw her and need a reference': portrait without a photo, then compare it with the reference pictures on this site
- 'I am not sure my photo is good enough': read the photo guide first, then decide

## Questions

### Can I get a Malfoid portrait without a photo?

Yes. The no-photo preset makes a still Malfoid portrait of a fictional adult for 4.99 USD. Use it for a wallpaper or reference, or when you do not want to upload a face.
