PhotoGPT AI Reviews

I bought the max tier because after my first tries I discovered an incredible tool! I created my profile very quickly and now I can generate any image with the real me, no strange faces or people who just look similar. It is really me in every image generated! Sometimes the result is not perfect, but that is rare. I am truly impressed with the quality. If this offer returns on AppSumo, do not hesitate to try PhotoGPT, you will love it!

I purchased Tier 2 mainly to save time creating images for my social media. While the tool can produce nice results, I was disappointed by some limitations that make it less useful for my needs.

First, there’s no ratio option for platforms like LinkedIn cover images. I bought this thinking it would help with social media graphics, but without a wide banner option (e.g., 6:1 ratio), I’ve had to move my workflow back into Canva to resize and adjust everything.

Second, when I tried to get an image of just the ladies at work so I could create my own background in Canva, Photo GPT still generated a full background — it didn’t give me a clean subject image.

Lastly, I asked for my face on one of the people and different ladies for the others, but often all three ended up looking like me (or at least one of them did). This can make group images look a bit strange.

Overall, the product is OK for general image creation, but for something marketed toward social media use, the lack of flexible aspect ratios and the challenges with subject variation limit its practicality for my purposes.

First of all, I played a lot with local models, also trained my own model and generated many free images, which work "ok". But locally its more effort, more difficult and also image generation is slow (Geforce 4060). But thats normal, you need high end hardware to be faster. Also you don't have the same (but also very good) quality like some online models (but thats get better each week).

So I gave PhotoGPT a try. And overall summary:
It's not much better in case of quality, like anything you can do locally for free. Most of the time you can have the same results locally. But, and thats why I give 3 stars, its much more easy and faster. But to be a good product (there are tons of others in this niche), the quailty must be improved.

Some good things:
1) very easy to use, everybody could use it in seconds
2) nice UI
3) can generate really nice images with your face, some of them can look nearly exactly like you (but you need to generate a few for best results)
4) really nice presets, which can give you many ideas

Some bad things:
1) Many times, when the AI puts my head on a body, my head is much larger and it looks weird. I never had this when playing with open source models.
2) My age is 40, which I put into the model, but I don't have a ton of wrinkles yet. The AI actually added many wrinkles to many of the outputs, making me look much older (50+). Also if you force the output, to be close to original (which in most cases doesn't make much difference at all). I also never had this with other models.
3) There is no way to ask the AI to touch up the photos.
4) When it comes to the body, you should not expect it to be close to your real body. Sometimes the AI makes you really really skinny. It should not only use your face, also your body. At least a bit more than now.
5) When it comes to tattoos, it's totally over... it detects them, but give you some random ones, also on places, where you don't have. So better to avoid that, by telling the AI not to use tattoos, but this way, it't not you sometimes. But thats a problem of all current AI models.
6) On many presets you have the typical "eary" AI image look, like plastic or 3D Render. This has nothing to do with "photo".
7) Sometimes the generated person is totally different. It's not even kind of close to your trained model. For example, you generate 4 pictures with "dating" preset, 2 of them it's not your face, 1 other is ok, and the last one your head is much bigger. If I use my model, which was trained on 18 high quality and good images, I expect more. Its totally fine, that not all images are good and usable, but they should respect the given model.
8) The upscaler is really bad, it makes you images worse most of the time. It looks like its not a real upscaller, because your images often look different and not upscalled.

So 3 of 5 tacos. I would say it's 3.5
But quality needs to be improved.
I generated like 50 images so far, but only like 5-6 are good and usable (at least from my quality expectations). So keep that in mind.

I am usually very skeptical about image generation when it goes about getting precisely the results you need. Quality of images pretty good.

I don't like when the hairstyle is changed much without being requested. This wastes credits. But after a while I've learned to always mention the hairstyle and glasses to keep it consistent.
I used my 2000 credits within half day on experiments. And I went from " maybe I will refund" to " well maybe this is worse keeping".

Keep in mind that model generation costs 1500 credits. And each image is approximately 5. Many of them got wasted for me but still I managed to have almost 20 quite decent images. I think that for personal use 2000 credits per month is quite enough.

I didn't see any advanced image editing or retougching tools as declared in description. You create a model and then you write prompts. If you don't like the image or it is not perfect enough, you cannot edit it or improve it somehow. I just deleted it and modified the prompt to generate new ones. It is also not working to add a reference image and ask to add a minor change in it. It doesn't preserve the reference image. If I put " reference image style strengths" to maximum, it will not make the change asked (I asked to add glasses) but will change the image itself resulting in a little bit other result than expected and loosing details that I like in reference image.

Despite all these shortcomings I will give the product 5 tacos. Just because so far these are the best ai-generation based on selfie I tried

I had low expectations for this tool but decided to give it a try at Tier 2. I took some quick casual snapshots with my computer and uploaded them for my first training. I was amazed at the results. I typically wear glasses, and was wearing them in my training photos, but the AI actually figured out what I probably look like without glasses. So I am now able to generate images both with and without glasses.

Not every picture was a winner but I got a few very professional looking headshots, much better than what I can do myself. Mind you, my sample photos were pretty crappy and I didn't even bother to fix myself up for them. That the output looks this good is nothing short of a miracle!

I was also able to tell the AI to give me a different hairstyle. Thus I was able to go from long hair to a Meg Ryan bob. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my hair right now - this may not seem like a big deal but this is actually very helpful!

I've got a few minor complaints:

1) Sometimes, when the AI puts my head on a body, my head is much larger and it looks weird.

2) My age is 55, which I put into the model, but I don't have a ton of wrinkles yet. The AI actually added wrinkles to many of the outputs, making me look 60+. I can fix this later but it adds work.

3) There is no way to ask the AI to touch up the photos. I am able to do this myself in GIMP, but it would be nice to have a touch up feature.

4) I would like an option to add makeup styles to new and existing outputs. I did ask the AI to add a little makeup and it did slightly, but it's not great. It needs to be tuned to add makeup.

Other than that, I'm very happy with this product. I think I will splurge for Tier 3 just to get access to the other presets and more credits to play around with.

Thank you!
