Use a face to make images

These models let you generate realistic images, art, and avatars from a simple face image. They use advanced AI techniques to transform faces into new visual styles while preserving the subject’s identity and features.

Key capabilities:

  • Photo generation: Create realistic photos of a person in different contexts, outfits, hairstyles, etc.
  • Artistic rendering: Transform a photo into paintings, sketches, anime, and other artistic styles.
  • Avatar creation: Generate profile pictures, game characters, emoji, and 3D avatars matching a face.

Our Pick: flux-kontext-pro

We recommend flux-kontext-pro for most people looking to generate images from faces. It’s by far the easiest model to work with. Flux.1 Kontext Pro excels at transforming a person’s clothing style or context from a single face image. Just upload a photo and describe what you want, and Flux.1 Kontext Pro will generate it in seconds.

Also Great: FLUX PuLID

For another way to customize images, especially faces, while keeping important identity features, check out FLUX PuLID. This popular model can be used to make avatars and characters, edit and improve faces, and more.
