How to create your star

Prepare a reusable lead character from photos you own or have permission to use.

US English help content Updated August 26, 2026

A star is a reusable lead character created from one photo you own or have permission to use.

Choose a good photo

  • Use a clear, well-lit image with the face visible.
  • Avoid heavy filters, large sunglasses, motion blur, or objects covering the face.
  • Use a common image format supported by your device.
  • Do not use a celebrity, public figure, political figure, or another person without permission.

Create and use your star

  1. Choose the option to create a star.
  2. Select one photo from your device.
  3. Review the permission notice and continue only if you are authorized to use the photo.
  4. Let Starriva prepare the reusable character.
  5. Select the saved star when beginning a supported story or episode.

Starriva does not keep the original photo as a permanent cloud-library item. The completed star and related creative assets are stored on your device and are not restored by Restore Purchases.

Delete a star

You can delete an individual star from your local library. Deleting a star does not delete stories or episodes that were already generated with that star.
