AIAI Mermaid Transformation Tutorial: Photo Upload and Quote
Setup only — no generation submitted. This walkthrough prepares an AIAI form and stops before Generate. It does not evaluate output quality.
Follow with your own properly licensed files, then stop after reviewing the quote.

2. Start from a clean effect form
AIAI recommends a clear front-facing upper-body or full-body photo of one person, two people, or a pet.
3. Upload a suitable owned image
We uploaded a 720 × 405 JPG that meets the 300-pixel minimum. The form displayed a remote thumbnail as the input state.
4. Check the input and visibility
The thumbnail was reviewed without opening or editing the image. Public Visibility was on and was not changed.
5. Review the quote
The form displayed Generate 10. That number is a quote, not a charge.
6. Stop before generation
Generate was not clicked. The balance remained six and no mermaid video was created.
Open the tool with suitable material you own, review its current limits and quote, and stop before generating.
Before you continue
| Question | What to check |
|---|---|
| Can I use this file? | Confirm type, dimensions, duration, size and ownership before uploading. |
| Why did the quote change? | Quotes can vary by input, settings, plan and product updates. |
| What did this test not assess? | No output was generated, reviewed or downloaded, so quality is unknown. |
