Photos

Add a gallery of photos to your companion's page. The first photo is the avatar.

The Photos gallery (also called the carousel) is a visual slideshow that appears on your companion's public page and in the chat interface. It lets you showcase product images, team photos, branding, or anything else that makes your companion feel more alive.

Photos are uploaded straight into your companion's appearance. They are not Resources: they are never analyzed, never searched by your companion and never use credits. They only count toward your storage.

  • The first photo is your companion's avatar. Move another photo to the front and it becomes the avatar
  • Up to 10 photos (including the avatar) can be in the gallery
  • Photos automatically slide every 4 seconds when displayed to users

Adding Photos

  1. In the Appearance section of the Persona tab, click Add
  2. Choose one or more images from your device (each under 10 MB)
  3. The photos appear in the gallery right away. They are uploaded when you save your companion's settings

If you pick more than fit in the 10 photo limit, the extra ones are skipped.

Editing and Removing Photos

Hover over a photo to reveal two buttons:

  • Edit & crop opens the image editor so you can crop the photo
  • Remove takes the photo out of the gallery

Removing a photo deletes it when you save, and frees its storage.

Reordering Photos

Drag and drop a photo to a new position. The order you set here is the order they appear in the carousel, and the first one is always the avatar.

The counter badge (for example "7/10") shows how many photos you have out of the maximum 10.

Live Preview

Click the Preview button to see exactly how the carousel will look to visitors. A preview window opens showing the auto-sliding gallery with all your photos.

Discarding your changes removes any photos you added but have not saved yet.
