PhotoAI
PhotoAI trains a private AI model on your selfies and generates photorealistic pictures and short videos of you in hundreds of styles.
PaidBeginnerWeb
Overview
PhotoAI trains an AI model of you from a set of selfies, then generates new photos of you in chosen settings. Themed packs cover the big use cases: business headshots and LinkedIn portraits, dating-app photos, travel and lifestyle scenes, fashion looks and creative styles. Prompts steer the scene beyond the packs. It also generates short videos of you.
PhotoAI runs in the browser, with no app. It is paid: subscription plans billed monthly or yearly, with monthly credits that generations draw from. A video costs more credits than a photo. Commercial use needs the Pro plan or higher, since the Starter plan is for personal use only.

When to use
Use PhotoAI when you need photos of yourself that were never taken:
- You need business headshots or a LinkedIn portrait and a studio session is not happening. The headshot packs cover this, though commercial use needs the Pro plan or higher.
- Your dating profile needs better photos of you in varied settings, which the dating packs generate from one selfie set.
- You want travel or lifestyle photos of yourself for social profiles without staging them.
- You want one selfie upload to keep paying off: the same trained model generates across every pack and prompt.
- You want to steer results yourself, writing prompts rather than only picking packs.
When NOT to use
Skip PhotoAI if any of these describe you:
- You want to improve a photo that already exists. PhotoAI generates new images, it does not edit yours. A photo editor or photo enhancer does that.
- You need one stylized avatar rather than photo-real images. AI avatar makers are faster for that.
- You are not comfortable uploading a set of face photos to train a model. That step cannot be skipped.
- Job-platform headshots are the only need. Dedicated AI headshot generators compete directly on that single job.
Frequently asked questions
You upload a set of selfies, PhotoAI trains a private model of your appearance, and you generate photos of yourself by picking a themed pack or writing a prompt. Each generation draws on your plan's monthly credits. A photo costs from 1 credit depending on the model, and a video with sound costs 30.
No. PhotoAI is a paid subscription, billed monthly or yearly across several plan sizes, with credits that renew monthly. The vendor states that Pro, Max and Ultra subscriptions include a large set of free photos with every new model you create, and the Starter plan does not. The referral programme is the only way to get free credits: you and the person you invite each get 1,000, or 100 each on the Starter plan.
The packs cover business headshots, LinkedIn and speaker portraits, and dating-app photos for the major apps. They also cover travel and lifestyle scenes, fashion try-on looks and creative styles such as anime or film noir. Prompts let you go beyond the packs.
They are generated from a model trained on your selfies, so results depend on that set: varied, well-lit selfies give the model more to work with. The photos are AI-generated, so they are portraits in your likeness rather than records of real moments.
The vendor states you own the assets you create with the service. It also states that photos you delete from your gallery are permanently deleted after 30 days. If you cancel your subscription, your data is deleted after 90 days. Read PhotoAI's privacy terms before uploading, since training on your face is the whole mechanism.
The vendor states a refund is only possible before you create a model and while you have generated fewer than 20 photos. After that the training has already run.
Yes. It runs in the browser on any device, including your phone. The vendor states it used to have an iOS app and no longer does.
