A few minutes of image prep usually beats regenerating the Shaper five times.

Preparing a the Shaper image so the generator keeps a clean silhouette.

The same ideas apply in Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2 unless a step says otherwise.

Build it

  1. Open the POE Hideout Art Generator.
  2. Pick Path of Exile 1 or 2 and the hideout you actually use.
  3. Upload a clean the Shaper image with a plain or transparent background.
  4. Start around 100 art size units, then raise size if faces or text look soft.
  5. Preview first. Download the .hideout file only when the silhouette reads clearly.

Prep checklist

  1. Crop tight to the Shaper.
  2. Remove busy backgrounds.
  3. Prefer flat colours over heavy gradients.
  4. Export PNG with transparency when you can.
