Yes, Photo AI has a dedicated feature to create AI influencers from scratch now!

The AI influencer above was created with Photo AI in less than 30 seconds

AI influencer: 25-year old Spanish model Erica with brown eyes and straightened long blonde hair

Prompt: “front view of model wearing a strapless black top and a delicate necklace. the model is smiling and positioned in front of a lush green bush adorned with red and white flowers. in the background, there is a lit-up eiffel tower and a classic lamp post against a clear evening sky.”

Create your first AI influencer

Simply login to Photo AI and in the sidebar scroll down to [ Create new AI model ] and select [ Create a new AI influencer ].

Instead of uploading photos like you’d normally do to create an AI model, it will now ask you to design your AI influencer from scratch.

While designing your AI influencer you will see a quick preview of how they will look so you can adjust accordingly. The preview is low quality (but quick) and your final AI influencer will look much better of course:

Creating an AI influencer is fast and within half a minute it’ll be done and Photo AI will have created some sample photos like it does for every model, like headshots and Instagram photos like.

Once created, you can take photos, generate videos, and even make your AI influencer talk, which gives you a lot of opportunities to create viral content for your AI influencer. And you might be able to monetize that too on social media platforms.

AI influencers can be monetized through product placements or selling their content directly.

AI influencers are quite a recent development but they already make money and it doesn’t look like it’ll stop to grow as a new industry soon. For example, Spanish AI influencer Lil Miquela makes $10 million per year, German AI fashion model Noonoouri makes $500,000 per year, and South African AI supermodel Shudu makes $2,000 per sponsored post.

You can now create talking AI videos with Photo AI.

You first take an AI photo and then if you like the look of one, hover over the photo and tap [ Make video ]. It will then process for a few minutes and turn your AI photo into a lifelike moving AI video, like below.

Tip: if you want to make your video look sharper, first [ Upscale ] it before making a video.

You can try a few times, and then when you have a video that you like the look of, again hover over it and tap [ Make talking video ].

A popup will show up to enter the script you want your AI model to speak.

It will then start processing and after a few minutes, your talking AI video will show up in your gallery like this:

You can actually create pretty good AI photos of you and your gf/bf together now with Photo AI.

Make sure you follow these steps to get the best results:

In Photo AI, go to [ Create new AI model ], then under [ Type ] select Couple, so you create a model of both of you.

⚠️ Then when uploading photos, make sure EVERY PHOTO has both of you in it, so the AI learns both of you!

Just uploading separate photos of both you and the other person will NOT work because it'll think you're training a MIX of both of you. You’ll get a person that looks like both of you instead of couple photos.

You want it to understand you're training BOTH of you in ONE photo as a couple photo! So only include those photos where both of you are in it. Even better if you’re both in same position (left or right) but I’ve tried without and it worked too.

When it's done training, under Packs -> you can try running the Valentine's Day pack and you get something like the photo above. Be sure to upscale your favorite photos for crispier pics after by hovering over and clicking [ Upscale ].

You can also create REGULAR non-Valentine couple photos with each other, if you find V-Day to cheesy 😀

Photo AI now lets you take batch photos by providing a list of prompts. This lets you quickly take hundreds or thousands of photos for each of your models.

Batch photo taking will go over each prompt, make the selected amount of photos (like 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 or 32) for each prompt, and do the next prompt.

Batch photos is only supported on the Premium and Ultra plan.

To start a batch job, select your AI model, and then paste a list of prompts separated by ||| into the prompt box. It’s important you use ||| to separate them or it will not know you want do a batch job. Make sure each prompt contains the word “model” to reference you AI model.

When you press [ Take photos ] it will show a popup and calculate the total photo count, you can still cancel here, but if you want to continue press [ OK ]:

Photo AI will then start taking photos for each prompt:

After it’s done, you’ll see your photos. Photo AI will return your batch prompt to the prompt box so you can run it again if you like:

If you sign up for the yearly plan, the pricing is over 50% cheaper, which means 6+ months free compared to regular monthly pricing.

This is our way of thanking you for your trust in our Photo AI and lets us reinvest your money to improve the product.

Every Pro, Premium and Ultra subscription to Photo AI now gives you a big set of free photos for every new model you create! That means thousands of free photos for Ultra plan subscribers.

If you become a yearly subscriber, you get 6+ months free.

For the plans itself you can check the pricing here.

Photo AI subscriptions are paid though for a reason:

Remember all those amazing free apps and services you used that eventually shut down, got acquired, or disappeared overnight? That’s because free services usually can’t sustain themselves financially. Here’s why:

Running a service like Photo AI costs money: servers, development, maintenance, and ongoing improvements. If an app is free, it either burns through the founder’s savings, relies on venture capital, or makes money by selling your data. None of these options guarantee the app’s long-term survival.

Take the typical “free app” story:
• A developer builds a cool, free product.
• It gains popularity but can’t generate revenue, so it gets sold to a bigger company.
• The new owner shuts it down or ruins it, leaving users without the service they loved.

We don’t want that to happen with Photo AI.

Instead, by charging for the service, we can stay independent, cover our costs, and continue improving the app for our users. We’re not a venture-funded startup forced to grow at all costs or sell out to the highest bidder. We’re a 100% owner independent platform focused on delivering real value to our users without compromising on quality or ethics.

If you like what we do, support Photo AI by becoming a paid user. It ensures we can keep building the features you love while staying here for the long term.

We recommend uploading photos with high variety, a mix of close-up selfies and full body shots in a variety of places, angles, clothes and expressions. Do not upload photos with low variety, group photos, other people, sunglasses, hats, photos where your face is cut off or not visible.

If you’re creating an AI influencer from scratch, you don’t need to upload any photos though. You just design a new persona based on how you

Photo AI lets you upload selfies, create AI models and then generate AI photos and videos with them. We teach the AI how you look and then it's able to generate photorealistic images and videos of you. You can put yourself in different settings, with different outfits, doing different actions, with different expressions, and even talking to the camera in your voice. And best of all, you can do all this from your laptop or phone without having to pay an expensive photographer $100s or $1000s.

After sign up you get access to Photo AI's studio which lets you use our photo shoot preset templates, write prompts or copycat photos of other people, to generate anything you can think of.

Photo AI uses its own generation pipeline which is trained for high photorealism. The main generation model we use now is Flux. We use many other models to perform other functions like post-processing, upscaling, taking videos, adding audio to videos, adding voice to videos etc.

We keep working on improving our pipeline using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) by users like you which constantly improves our models.

All of this to get you better more photorealistic photos and videos!

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time.

Go to the top left and click the Photo AI logo, when you are logged in and click Billing, you will be redirected to Stripe's billing portal where you can switch plans.

Downgrades will activate at the next billing cycle. Upgrades are instant.

Very fast. Right now it’s about 15 seconds! And you can take many photos in parallel especially on the higher plans.

Yes!

You can upload any clothes and the model will wear them for you.

We use the latest state of the art try on models.

We have many customers like fashion designers and dropshippers that already use it everyday for Shopify stores. They can design clothes virtually and already put them on models without ever producing the clothes!

Even cooler, with the [ Make video ] feature you can turn your models wearing your clothes into videos!

You can check current pricing here. You get 6+ months free if you pay yearly.

You can cancel at any time by clicking the Billing link on the frontpage or inside the app.

The resemblance of the photos to you depends on the quality and variety of the photos you upload. The better and more varied your photos, the more accurately the AI can understand and represent your unique characteristics.

Premium and Ultra plans have the highest resemblance.

This service was built by me, Pieter Levels (@levelsio), a Dutch indie entrepreneur known for other projects like Nomad List, Remote OK, and Interior AI.

It is a 100%-owned independent business without investors.

I run it all by myself, with the help of thousands of AI robots ☺️

We did have one but not anymore. It's easier to focus all my energy on just the Photo AI website and make that the best AI photo and video generator out there.

If you see one called Photo AI, it’s a rip-off and not related to us!

Existing Photo AI iOS subscriptions have all automatically ended.

Due to lots of fraud attempts, we've had to increase our payment security. Firstly, disable your VPN or proxy server. Then make sure your name, CVC and postal code match the one on your payment card and of your bank account. Also your card country should be the same as your billing country. And finally make sure you enable 3D Secure or similar authentication on your card with your bank.

We also do not accept customers from the Philippines due to massive and repeated card abuse from there. We’re not planning to change this any time soon.

Depending on your plan the time of training can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

The longer we train your model the higher quality you get. Which is why the higher plans are more expensive!

We accept JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF files only. HEIC is not supported now, so you'll have to convert those to JPG first

Sometimes yes!

Depending on the quality of the uploaded photos, and the type of photos you take, you might see some AI artefacts.

With the new Flux model we use, generally stuff like strange anatomy, limbs and especially hands (!) is mostly fixed now.

Any app that uses generative AI imaging will have artefacts sometimes. They can be illogical things like extra arms, deformed faces etc. From our experience, about 90% of photos you take will be good enough, and 10% will be very good.

We also have an editor (tap [ Edit photo ]) so you can brush away artefacts yourself and regenerate those parts.

We're improving Photo AI every day to reduce artefacts for example by auto-detecting them and then re-trying. But remember AI is not perfect yet and we're not promising it is. Nor can any other AI app right now.

After every payment you get a receipt and invoice emailed to you by Stripe.

We accept payments via credit or debit cards, including MasterCard, VISA, American Express, as well as iDeal, SOFORT, Bancontact, Przelewy24, Giropay, EPS, GrabPay, AliPay, and many more.

However, we do not accept PayPal or cryptocurrency and are not planning to right now.

Yes, you can delete your photos in the gallery: hover over a photo, and click the trash bin in the top right to delete it. Deleted photos are permanently deleted after 30 days.

For models it's the same, go to the top left model selector at "Select model", and hover over a model, in the top right of the model click the trash bin to delete it.

If you cancel your subscription your data is completely deleted after 90 days.

Yes. Please login, then tap the top left Photo AI logo, and in the dropdown select [ Request a refund ]. If you’re eligible for a refund, you’ll be able to self-refund on that page.

You're only eligible for a refund if you've not created a model yet, have generated fewer than 20 photos over the lifetime of your account and did not sign up with someone’s referral link.

If you've already used Photo AI to create a model or take photos or videos, we cannot offer a refund as costs incurred for generative AI are extremely high.

In turn, our upstream providers do not let us ask for refunds for the GPU processing time used to create your AI models and generate your photos and videos. This would make it a loss making endeavor for us. During sign up you agree to withhold your right to refund for this reason.

If you’ve used someone’s referral link (starts with ?via=r*), you are not eligible for a refund because we credit both you and the referrer’s account with free credits. And if we allowed refunds that’d be easily abused. They’d be able to get the free referral credits, use them up and then quickly self refund and do that an infinite number of times.

You can cancel your subscription at any time though: your subscription won't renew and you will not be charged again.

Please allow up to 3 business days for the card issuer to process the credit and for the funds to appear in your account.

Now login to Photo AI again and you’ll be sent to the pricing table to choose your plan. Make sure you choose the monthly plan this time.

You’ll now have received a refund, cancelled your yearly subscription and signed up to the monthly plan.

Yes, we do!

When you’re logged in, click on [ Photo AI ] in the top left or the ⚡️ lightning bolt in the top right.

In the menu click [ Get 1000 free credits ] or similar:

A popup will show with your unique referral link. You can share this link with your friends or share it on social media.

If someone signs up, you and them too (!) will get 1000 free credits for Pro/Premium/Ultra users. And 100 free credits for Starter users. So it’s beneficial for both you and new users as they can get double the credits they’d normally get.

Referral credits are the same as regular one-time extra credits, and do not expire!

The referral cookie once they click the link will remain for 30 days. So if they don’t sign up immediately but if they ever come back to Photo AI and sign up later, it is still counted!
