Reference and upload guidelines

Alongside your script you can hand a render some material to work from: still pictures, and on some styles short clips and audio too. How many you can add, and how large each file may be, depends on the style you pick. Here is where every style stands today.Add references in the tool itself, before you submit. If a file sits outside these numbers, swap it or export it again to fit before you send the render.

Every reference passes a quick content review first. The review turns five things down:

• Brand logos and trademarks
• Copyrighted characters and artwork
• Real people's faces, unless they are a Digital Twin with consent
• Anything sexual, violent or hateful
• Anyone under 18

Nothing is lost when it happens. Your credits come back, and the fix is usually small: swap the reference for another one, or crop out the part that caused it, and send it again.

They are turned down even when the rights are yours. The review sees the picture and nothing else, so it cannot tell your own mark from someone else's and treats every mark and every well-known character the same way. Two things work well instead: describe the brand in words in your script or prompt, and use your own product photos shot with the mark out of frame.

A real face rides through Kyndrify one way: as a Digital Twin, with that person's consent on record. A photo of a real person dropped in as a plain reference is turned down, including your own face. Make the Twin first on the new Digital Twin page, where the consent step is part of the flow, then render with it.A clip works the same way. As a reference it guides the scene, the motion and the look, and the person in it is not carried across, so a face in the clip does not come through to the render.

Each style sets its own, and the table under What can I add as a reference has them side by side. The shape is the same everywhere: pictures, clips, and audio each have a format list and a file-size ceiling, pictures have a shape range and on some styles a smallest and a largest side, and anything with a running time is capped per file and across the whole set together.

• Files: JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB; MP4 or MOV up to 100 MB
• Picture size: 300 to 6,000 px on each side, between 2:5 and 5:2
• Length: Clips 2 to 3 seconds each, 9 seconds in total

Those are the numbers that hold on every style, so a file inside them works whichever one you pick. If a file lands a little over, export it again at a smaller size or trim it and it goes through.
