Your historical transformation is fully yours to direct. After uploading your picture, you can guide the AI with a text prompt to get the exact colonial aesthetic you want. Ask for specific attire, such as a general’s uniform or a lady’s ornate gown. You can even request a background that evokes a revolutionary battlefield or a stately colonial home. For an added touch of authenticity, try prompting the AI to mimic the style of famous portraitists from the era, like Gilbert Stuart or John Singleton Copley, for a truly personalized piece of art.

Customize Your Historical Look
