What the AI Face Generation tool does

AI Face Generation converts a set of appearance parameters — gender, age band, ethnicity, hair & eye details, body type, beard, makeup — into unique portraits in ≈15s. Every result is royalty-free for commercial use and can cascade automatically into any other Creator OS tool.

Interface tour

  1. Surprise Me (big purple button, top) Quickly fills every field with a random, production-ready combo—perfect for inspiration or rapid A/B batches.
  2. Gender (required) Toggle Male or Female. One choice is mandatory.
  3. Age (required) Eight presets: 18-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, 56-65, 66-75, 76-85, 85+.
  4. Ethnos (required) Broad ethnic classes — Asian, Black, Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, White, etc.
  5. Body Type Slim, Athletic, Average, Plus-size, and more.
  6. Eye Colour & Hair Colour Natural and fantasy shades.
  7. Hair Type / Hair Style Curly, wavy, straight + bun, ponytail, undercut, etc.
  8. Beard Style / Colour (visible only when Male is selected) Clean-shaven to full beard; blond to jet-black.
  9. Make-up (visible only when Female is selected) None, Natural, Glam, or Creative.
  10. Start Generation Triggers the job. The cost (credits per image) is displayed right above. Fields with a red asterisk are required.
