Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an image URL?
Use a direct link to an image file, not the URL of the webpage that contains it. The image host must allow browser access; if the link doesn’t work, select a local copy with Upload Image.
Can I start with a color instead of a photo?
Yes. Switch to Manual Color, enter a base HEX color or use the picker, and choose a harmony.
