Suggestions for improving similarity and naturalness

  • Photos with a frontal or slightly profiled face, a relatively large face, and uniform lighting are generally easier to maintain identity features.
  • Reference pictures with multiple people, severe occlusion, low definition and excessive beautification may lead to a decrease in similarity.
  • Do not use the generated avatar for certificates, real-name authentication, impersonating others or misleading professional identity display.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about AI avatar generation

Are the avatars generated the same every time?

Different. The generation process is random, and even if the same photo and style are used, facial features, hairstyle, clothing and background details may change.

Why does the generated avatar not look like me?

When low-definition, occlusion, multi-person photos, or artistic styles are strong, AI will generate more inferred details, which may change identity characteristics. It is recommended to replace it with a clear single person reference picture.

Can AI avatars be used as ID photos?

No. AI avatars are artistically generated content that may change the real appearance and cannot be used for documents, registration, real-name authentication and identity verification.
