- What does the AI selfie generator make?
- One new 1K square photograph that reads as a selfie taken on a phone at arm's length, built from a written description, an uploaded photo, or both: a slightly wide front lens close to the face, the camera a little off eye level, a casual crop, a bit of hand-held tilt and the light of whatever place you named. Two things it deliberately will not do. It is not a face swap, and it cannot put you beside somebody else, because a run carries one reference photo and one person in it, and it will not depict a real public figure at all.
- Will the selfie still look like me?
- Close, and not guaranteed. This is the question the field answers dishonestly, so here is the mechanism. The model renders a whole new photograph rather than editing the file you uploaded, and the instruction behind this page tells it to keep your face, features, build, skin tone and hair exactly as they are, with no change to face shape, age or weight and no beauty smoothing. That is a strong instruction, not a lock. In testing we have had a face come back plainly different from the one that went in. A sharp, well-lit, front-facing source photo with your face large in the frame gives the best odds, and checking the eyes, teeth, hairline and any moles at full size is the habit worth keeping.
- Can I pick an anime or cartoon style?
- Not on this page, and that is on purpose. It locks one photographic look, so what comes back is a plain phone photograph rather than one of a dozen art styles behind the same upload, and it will not imitate a named character or franchise look either. The other looks have their own pages: the anime filter for an anime version, the AI cartoon generator for a drawn one, and the Y2K style filter for a hard-flash turn-of-the-millennium frame. Naming an art style in the prompt here will not override the photographic register, it will only fight it.
- Can I use my own photo?
- Yes, and with a photo attached the page does the thing it is actually for: it restages the place, the framing and the light around you and leaves you as you are. One reference photo per run, one person in it, and a clear front-facing shot where your face is large and unobstructed works far better than a group photo or a distant one. Text on its own works too, and the result is then a convincing selfie of somebody who does not exist, which is fine for testing a scene and useless as a picture of you.
- How much does one AI selfie cost?
- Each run costs 8 credits and returns one 1K square image, which needs a YouArt account with credits on it. There is no free unlimited tier here, whatever the titles in this field promise. One image per run also means comparing scenes costs more: a cafe version, a beach version and a gym version are three runs, so 24 credits. Editing the prompt is free until you generate, and a 1K square is sized for feeds, avatars and chat rather than for anything you mean to print large.
