What the Face Generation tool does

Face Generation converts a set of appearance parameters — gender, age, ethnicity, body type, eye color, hair details — into unique portraits in ≈15s. Every result is royalty-free for commercial use — send the best shots straight into Image Upscaler, Head & Face Swap, Image to Video, or Variations workflows.

Your step-by-step guide

Step 1. Surprise Me (optional) — quickly fills the generator with a random combination of settings. Perfect for inspiration, testing different looks, or rapid batches.

Step 2. Gender (required) — choose between Female and Male. Some appearance settings change depending on the selected gender.

Step 3. Age (required) — adjust the slider to define the approximate age of the generated character.

Step 4. Ethnicity (required) — select the character's ethnicity: European, Asian, Latin American, African, or Middle Eastern.

Step 5. Body Type — choose the body shape: Slim, Athletic, Average, Curvy, Muscular, or Plus Size. The result is a face portrait — Body Type influences facial structure and proportions, not the body itself.

Step 6. Eye Color — select the eye color for the generated character. Both natural and stylized shades are available.

Step 7. Hairstyle — choose the hairstyle: Straight, Wavy, Curly, Kinky/Coily, Braided, Bun, or Ponytail.

Step 8. Hair Color — select a natural or fantasy hair color: Light Blonde, Blonde, Honey Blonde, Ginger, Light Brown, Brown, Black, Gray, Green, Blue, Violet, or Pink.

Step 9. Resolution — choose the output resolution (e.g. 2K).

Step 10. Number of Images — select how many faces to generate in this run.

Step 11. Start Generation — starts the generation process using your selected settings. The credit cost per image is shown below the button before you confirm. Fields marked with a red asterisk are required.
