How many photos you need, whether they will look like you, what happens to what you upload, and what it costs. If something here is not answered, ask us.
Getting started
How many photos do I need to upload?
Two is the minimum, and they have to show different angles. The app scores your uploads against five key poses — straight on, turned left and right, and the two profiles — and will not let you generate until at least two are covered. More angles make the likeness better, which is why it keeps pointing out the missing ones.
What kind of photos work as references?
Ordinary phone photos. Good light helps, but nothing needs to be styled or professional — a reference set of eight polished portraits taken in one session is worse than four plain snapshots from different days, because the first set only shows the system one version of your face. See why one angle is the most common cause of a bad result.
How long does it take?
Minutes, not days. You upload, pick a scene, and the photos come back while you wait.
The photos themselves
Will they actually look like me?
That is the thing the product optimises for, and it is a different goal from looking good. Most tools in this category smooth skin, narrow jaws and add studio lighting, which produces a photo that performs well until you meet someone. CMeIn holds the face, features and proportions steady instead. See the full argument, with a reference pair to compare.
Can people tell the photos were generated?
They will not be able to tell it was generated. Whether they can tell it is you is the question that matters, and it is the one most tools quietly fail. See what actually makes a photo look AI-made.
Do you retouch or beautify?
No. No skin smoothing, no slimming, no teeth whitening, no studio-headshot lighting. A generated photo that looks better than the person has failed at the only job it has.
What scenes can I get?
Travel and outdoors, food and drink, sport, cafes, beach, pets, nightlife, music, crafts, winter, motorcycles and celebrations — or describe your own. See the public gallery.
Dating apps
Are AI photos allowed on dating apps?
Yes, on every major app, provided the photos are of you. What gets accounts removed is using someone else’s face, or a photo that misrepresents who you are. See the rules, app by app.
Is this catfishing?
It would be if the photo showed a different person. The line is whether someone meeting you recognises you from it, which is exactly the standard the product is built to pass. See where the line actually sits.
Privacy
Who can see my photos?
Nobody, unless you choose otherwise. Generated photos are private to your account by default, and the reference photos you upload are never displayed anywhere on the site.
Do my photos appear in your advertising?
No. Appearing in the examples requires being on a named list, and no customer is on it. The subjects in the public gallery are the founder and a demo subject.
Can I delete everything?
Yes, from the account page, and it is immediate. Deletion removes the account, the reference photos and every photo generated from them, with no recovery window — so download anything you want to keep first. See how deletion works.
Pricing
What does it cost?
Credit packs: 600 credits for $2.99, 2,400 for $10.99, or 4,800 for $20.99. A generated photo costs 300 credits, so those packs are 2, 8 and 16 photos. See full pricing.
Is there a subscription?
No. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel. Credits sit on your account until you use them.
What if something goes wrong with a purchase?
The refund policy covers it, including what qualifies and how to ask. See the refund policy.
