Step 2: Choose a Drawing

Pick one of your child's drawings to transform. Any medium works — crayons, colored pencils, markers, or paint.

Drawings that work especially well:

  • Characters or people with clear shapes
  • Artwork with defined outlines
  • Colorful, filled-in drawings

That said, even simple line drawings make wonderful figurines. figmee celebrates your child's unique style, no matter how simple or detailed.

Step 3: Take a Photo and Upload

Snap a photo of the drawing in good lighting, holding your phone directly above the artwork. Then upload it to figmee.

How to upload:

  1. Open your figmee dashboard
  2. Tap "Create New Figurine"
  3. Take a photo or select one from your gallery
  4. Review the image and continue

Supported formats include PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF.

Once your photo is uploaded, tap the "Generate" button. The AI will analyze your child's drawing and create a charming 3D figurine version.

  • Generation typically takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes
  • Keep the screen open while it processes
  • Your finished figurine appears on your dashboard

Step 5: Share and Enjoy

Your new figurine is ready to be enjoyed in many ways:

  • Share on social media with friends and family
  • Print it out and frame it for display
  • Send it as a gift to grandparents or loved ones
