  • Download your portrait

    Save it for your profile, site or print.

Keep character consistency with the photo portrait maker

Add your photo as a reference and the photo portrait maker keeps character consistency: the same face, features and expression in every portrait, so each one still looks like you. Describe the portrait style, outfit and setting you want, and only those change. Generate a few versions and keep the one with the closest likeness.

  • Turns any photo to portrait
  • Same face in every portrait
  • Change only what you describe

Generate AI portraits from a text prompt

Picsart’s online portrait maker builds an AI portrait from a text prompt alone, no photo needed. Describe the person’s age, hair, expression, clothing and light in your portrait prompt. Then set the framing for your AI portrait, from a tight headshot to half body, and refine the prompt until the face matches your idea.

  • Describe age, look and clothing
  • Set the framing: headshot or half body
  • Refine with a new prompt

Customize your portrait with AI

Already have a portrait you like? Upload it as a reference and describe the edit: swap the outfit, change the background, fix the lighting or add glasses. The AI keeps the rest of your portrait as it is, so the AI self-portrait generator gives you a custom self-portrait with one new prompt, not a new shoot.

  • Swap the outfit or background
  • Keep the rest as it is
  • Edit with one new prompt
