GenYOU

Upload a few of your own photos and get back a fresh profile picture, a headshot-style portrait or an Instagram-ready character without booking a photographer.

That is the job GenYOU does.

GenYOU is a free AI avatar and portrait generator that produces portraits, avatars, selfies and full-body images, and it tries to keep the results looking like you.

It runs as an app on iOS and Android, so you can do everything from your phone.

The app is free to use, which makes it easy to test before you spend any time on it.

Some advanced features may sit behind in-app purchases, so watch what the app asks for as you go.

Quality is the main catch.

Results vary from one generation to the next, and keeping your identity intact is a goal rather than a guarantee.

Plan on a few attempts and pick the best image.

For casual avatars and social media pictures that trade-off is usually fine.

For a professional headshot, check the output closely before you use it.
