What is this AI photo generator?
It is an online AI image generator with GPT-Image-2, Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Z-Image Turbo, Qwen Image 3.0, and Seedream 5.0 Pro. Choose the model that fits the job, then create product shots, portraits, landscapes, posters, or illustrations without installing design software.
Most available models also accept reference photos. Upload an image, describe the change, and a compatible model can restyle or reimagine it while keeping the parts you care about. The controls automatically follow each model's real API capabilities.
An AI image generator from image, not just from text
Choose a model that supports reference images, then upload a photo, sketch, or render and describe the result you want. Turn a phone snapshot into studio-style product photography, restyle a portrait, or convert a rough sketch into finished art.
Text to image
Write a prompt in plain English or Chinese and get photorealistic images, illustrations, posters, or concept art back in seconds.
Image to image
With a compatible model, use a photo as the starting point and apply the transformation you describe.
Flexible aspect ratios
Square, portrait, landscape, or widescreen — 15 ratios to choose from, from 1:1 avatars to 21:9 cinematic banners.
High-resolution PNG
Every result downloads as a clean, high-resolution PNG that holds up in social posts, decks, and web pages.

AI photo generator FAQ
- Is the AI photo generator free to use?
- New accounts receive free starting credits, so you can try the generator without paying. The model and resolution menus show the exact credit cost before you generate; when the starting credits run out you can top up from the pricing page.
- Can it generate an AI image from another image?
- Yes. Choose a model that supports Image to Image, upload JPG, PNG, or WebP references up to 10 MB each, then describe the result. The upload limit automatically changes with the selected model, from 3 to 16 references.
- Can I make AI photos of myself?
- Yes — upload a clear photo of yourself in Image to Image mode and describe the style you want: professional headshot, watercolor portrait, cinematic lighting, and so on. Only upload photos of people who have agreed to it.
- What resolution are the generated images?
- Available tiers depend on the selected model and range from 0.5K previews through 1K, 1.5K, 2K, and 4K output. The resolution menu only shows tiers accepted by that model, and results download as PNG.
- Can I use the generated photos commercially?
- Yes. Results generated with purchased credits are private to your account and free to use in commercial projects. Results generated on free starting credits may be displayed in our public gallery — buying any credit pack makes all your results private.
- How is this different from the image to layers tool?
- The AI photo generator creates new images from a prompt or a reference photo. The image to layers tool takes an existing image and separates it into transparent PNG layers. They work well together: generate a photo here, then split it into editable layers. Try the image to layers tool
