Questions

Why not just generate the whole image, text included?

Image models still misspell and garble headlines, and every retry costs credits. Here the words are real type rendered by a browser, so they are exact every time; only the pictures behind them are generated.

What does a full set cost?

Rendering is free and runs on your machine. Generated pictures are optional: a typical six-platform set needs two backgrounds and maybe one cut-out, roughly 100-200 credits, and a quick set with one reused background about 22-48. Each job is quoted first.

Does it work without a PopNow key?

Yes. Several layouts need no pictures at all, and you can drop in your own photos or screenshots. Layouts that expect a photo draw a neat pattern placeholder until one exists.

Will the covers match our brand?

If your project has a DESIGN.md, its colors and display font are applied to every layout automatically. You can also set colors, fonts and a logo in the spec, or load your own font files.
