AI Portrait from Selfie

How it works

1. 1

   Upload a clear selfie with a well-lit face

   Front-facing selfies with your face centered and clearly visible work best. Even lighting from a window gives better results than harsh overhead lighting or a dark background. Avoid extreme angles — a straight-on or slight three-quarter angle gives the AI the best facial reference. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Well-lit front-facing selfie: 25–35 seconds. Side-angle or dimly lit photos may produce less precise results.
2. 2

   Describe the portrait style you want

   Be specific about lighting, background, attire, and portrait type. 'Professional headshot with soft studio lighting, grey neutral background, navy business attire' gives the AI all it needs. 'Formal portrait with warm window light, cream background, smart casual clothing' gives a different but equally specific result. Include: background color, lighting type, clothing style, and portrait formality level.

   Tip: The most important element in a portrait transformation is the background. Specify it first: 'neutral grey background' vs. 'soft blurred office setting' vs. 'clean white studio background' produce very different results even with similar lighting.

   Check lighting, background, and facial accuracy

   Check that the lighting looks professional — shadows should fall naturally from one direction, not flat or harsh. Verify the background is clean and the clothing transformation (if requested) looks natural at the collar and shoulders. Confirm your face features are clearly preserved.

   Refine clothing or background with markers

   If the background looks right but the clothing was changed too dramatically, tap a marker on the clothing: 'adjust the attire to a more conservative navy business suit — preserve the existing lighting and background.' Targeted clothing or background fixes are faster than regenerating the full portrait.

   Tip: Portrait transformations often need one refinement — usually the collar/neckline area or the background transition. Markers on the specific problem area resolve this in a second pass.
