Polaroid Film Style FAQ
Answers to the top questions about creating Polaroid-inspired images, optimizing prompts, and managing downloads.
01How does the Polaroid film style effect work?
Our diffusion model analyzes your upload, then applies calibrated color curves, grain overlays, and frame compositing to recreate a genuine instant film print.
02Which photos produce the best results?
Well-lit portraits or still-life images with balanced exposure deliver the richest Polaroid tones. Soft daylight or flash-on subjects match the instant film vibe.
03Can I customize the border or frame?
Yes. Toggle frame styles inside the editor or add a prompt such as "minimal border" or "aged Polaroid frame" to fine-tune the finish.
04Does it support portrait and landscape orientations?
Absolutely. The engine adapts frame proportions and composition for square, portrait, or landscape shots without stretching.
05Will the output keep high resolution?
Exports retain the resolution of your upload, enhanced with film grain that scales cleanly for print or large-format use.
06Can I influence colors with prompts?
Add optional prompts such as "cool cyan cast" or "sunset warmth" to guide the color science while keeping the Polaroid character intact.
07How long does generation take?
Most renders finish in 15-30 seconds, depending on queue load and image complexity. Progress updates appear in real time.
08Is there a watermark on downloads?
Paid plans unlock watermark-free downloads. Free previews may contain subtle marks so you can review before exporting.
09How many credits does each render use?
Each Polaroid film style render consumes 2 credits. Subscriptions help frequent creators lower per-image costs.
10Is my uploaded photo secure?
Yes. Files are processed on encrypted servers, never shared with third parties, and can be deleted anytime from your generation history.
