# How to pick a visual style, or make your own from a picture

The visual style decides how the pictures in your video look: photo, cartoon, 3D, hand drawn, and the light and color that go with it. Pick one from the **Visual Style** strip on the create page. You can also save your own style and reuse it on every video after that.

## How do I pick a style?

1. Open the create page for your video type.
2. Find **Visual Style** and scroll the strip, or click **View All** to see every style in one window.
3. Click a style to use it.

**Auto** is the first card. It lets AITuber pick the look that fits your script. Pick a named style when you want the same look every time.

## How do I make my own style?

1. Click **Add** next to **Visual Style**.
2. Pick **Write it myself**.
<!-- screenshot: the two cards, From a picture and Write it myself -->
3. Give the style a short name, for example "Warm film grain".
4. Write what the pictures should look like: light, color, camera, texture, and what to avoid.
5. Click **Create style**.

Your styles sit first in the strip, with a **Yours** mark, so they are quick to find.

| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Styles you can save | 30 per workspace |
| Name length | Up to 60 characters |
| Instructions length | Up to 1200 characters |

## Can AITuber write the style from a picture?

Yes. If you have a picture of a look you like, drop it in and AITuber writes the instructions for you.

1. Click **Add** next to **Visual Style**.
2. Pick **From a picture**.
3. Drop a picture on the box, or click it and choose a file.

4. Wait a few seconds while AITuber reads the picture.
5. The name and the instructions fill in. Change any word you want.
6. Click **Create style**.

A picture is never required. Pick **Write it myself** and save a style with no picture at all. You can also swap between the two at any point: **Use a picture instead** sits above the instructions box, and **Write it myself instead** sits under the drop box.

| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Formats | JPG, PNG, WebP |
| Maximum size | 10 MB |
| Pictures per style | 1 |
| Cost | Free. Reading a picture costs no credits |

If the result is not what you wanted, click **Read again** for a fresh read, or **Use another picture** to try a different one.

## What does the picture do to my video?

Nothing directly. AITuber reads the look of your picture once and turns it into words. Only those words are used when your video is made, so your picture never appears in the video.

The picture is kept with the style as its cover, so you can see what the style came from.

Because only the look is copied, avoid using a picture to copy a real person, a logo, or a brand. The style describes light, color, and texture, not the people or products in your picture.

## Can I copy a built-in style and change it?

Yes. Open **View All**, hover a style card, click the **⋮** button, and pick **Duplicate as custom**. You get a copy in **Your styles** that you can edit.

## Which video types can use my own style?

Faceless videos and music videos have the full style picker, so your own styles show there.

| Video type | Your own styles |
| --- | --- |
| Faceless | Yes |
| Music video | Yes |
| Medical animation | No. It has a fixed set of medical styles |
| Skeleton | No. The look is part of the type |
| 3D talking characters | No. The look is part of the type |
| UGC reaction hooks | No. The look is part of the type |
| Stock footage | No. Stock clips are real footage, so there is no style to apply |

## What happens to videos I already made?

Nothing. A style is copied into a video when the video is made. If you edit or delete a style later, the videos you already made stay the same.
