Memorial · For a friend
For the friend who shaped you.
Some friendships make you who you are. When that friend dies, the photos you appear in suddenly stop including someone who'd been in nearly all of them. Lover Snap can help with the missing photographs — but with friend memorial, the question of consent extends past you. We recommend talking to the friend's family before generating or sharing.
Reference photos that work well
- ✓ Pick one era — the time in your friendship you want to remember
- ✓ Include photos that show distinguishing features and personality
- ✓ Confer with the friend's surviving family before training — this is the most important step
- ✓ Train your own character at the age that matches the scenes you want to create
Scene ideas
- · A reunion you'd talked about but never had
- · Your wedding — they would have been there
- · An anniversary of an event you used to celebrate together
- · Travel scenes — the trips you'd planned
- · A quiet portrait — coffee shop, restaurant, anywhere you used to talk
Common questions
- When you upload reference photos of someone, you attest that you have the right to do so. For close friends, this typically means asking the surviving family before generating photos — especially before sharing them. Our AI Content Policy covers this in detail.
- There's no universal rule. Some people find that periodic memorial photos help them stay connected to friendships that shaped them; others find it keeps a wound open. Trust your own sense of what helps.
- You can — but please consider whether the deceased friend's family would feel comfortable with public sharing. A memorial photo on your phone is one thing; a memorial photo on social media is a different thing. We recommend conferring with surviving family before posting.
Do I need permission from the deceased friend's family?
Is it appropriate to keep generating photos with a friend who died many years ago?
Can I share the photos publicly?
Ethics & dignity
Six commitments we hold ourselves to.
- 1
Consent comes first
We never generate AI photos of someone unless the person uploading them attests they have the right to do so. You are the steward of your loved one's memory.
- 2
No minors
We never generate photos of children or teenagers, living or deceased. This is a permanent product policy, not a default we can toggle.
- 3
No simulated speech
Lover Snap does not generate audio, deepfake video conversations, or any media that puts words in a deceased person's mouth. We make photographs, not impersonations.
- 4
Private by default
Reference photos and trained characters are stored encrypted, used only for your generations, never used to train shared models, and deleted within 30 days of account closure.
- 5
Honest representation
Every generated photo carries content credentials so it can be identified as AI-generated. We never market memorial photos as "real" or "indistinguishable."
- 6
Grief support, not replacement
Lover Snap is a tool for honoring memory. It is not therapy, not a substitute for grief counseling. We link to support resources for anyone who would benefit from them.
