How it works

Separate photos in. One portrait out.

The photos below are the actual inputs for the portrait on the right. Different rooms, different days, nobody posing. Faces are painted as they are: no smoothing, no slimming, no de-aging. The dog is optional.

  1. Upload. One clear photo of each person, and any pets. Phone photos are fine.
  2. Choose a style and format. 18 styles, from classic oil and charcoal to pop art, anime and real-looking photographs. Pick a backdrop, wardrobe or colour palette. 7 formats: wall art, panoramic, phone wallpaper, photo print, square.
  3. Keep the ones you love. Every preview is watermarked. Repaint until it looks like them, then keep the clean file. If it never does, the portrait goes back in your pack.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will it really look like us?

Faces are painted with photographic fidelity to your photos: face shape, eyes, skin tone, hair, glasses, the lot. Nothing is smoothed or slimmed. Clear, front-facing photos work best. Likeness gets less reliable above four people, so we cap portraits at five. If it never looks like them after three repaints, the portrait goes back in your pack.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to paint your portraits and are deleted 30 days after upload. Nothing is ever shown publicly, nothing is used to train anything, and you confirm you have the right to use each photo you upload.

Can I print it?

Yes. Unlocked files are 2K, and wall-art formats include a 4K version suitable for canvas prints. You can also order a canvas, framed print or gift straight from the portrait. Previews are for choosing, not printing.

What if a portrait fails?

If a painting fails, it doesn't count against your pack. Once you keep a clean file, that portrait is yours and final.

Is this made with AI?

Yes, and we say so. Your photos go to an image model that paints the composition and keeps every face true. Stylised looks such as Pop Art or Stained Glass are then re-rendered from that painting, and every candidate is checked against it before you see the best two. Nothing you upload is used to train anything.

Why doesn't it look like the usual AI art?

Three reasons: the prompts are written in a painter's terms (glazes, edges, palette), styles are described the way a painter would paint them, and a judge rejects any candidate with smoothed skin, invented objects or a changed face. You see the two that pass.
