Product Photo to Manual Illustration FAQ
Can I turn product photos into manual illustrations?
Yes. Upload a product photo and describe the instruction. ManualFig uses the image as a reference and generates a cleaner manual-style visual.
What kind of photo works best?
Clear photos with the relevant part visible work best. CAD screenshots, prototype shots, and existing manual scans can also help.
Can I ask for line art instead of a shaded illustration?
Yes. You can request black-and-white line art, grayscale diagrams, simple color accents, or style references.
Can generated illustrations be edited?
Yes. Select a result and describe the revision, such as changing an arrow, removing detail, adding a warning, or adjusting the panel count.
