How to make hyperrealistic AI avatars from your mobile photos

Reface Blog -

Lifelike AI avatars, which seem to be created by real artists, are going viral on social media. They are engaging and mesmerizing, not just because we take them as something radically new and unique, but because we can finally see ourselves from the machine's perspective.

Generative AI tools are skyrocketing despite their cost intensity, and the results produced by AI-based mobile apps often look cartoony and messy and still need improvement. When it comes to creating AI avatars, nothing beats high-quality pictures and easy-to-use tech. With the AI Avatar tool by Reface, you can enjoy the creation of hyperrealistic AI avatars to their fullest.

What is AI Avatar?

AI Avatar is the new feature within the Reface app, which allows you to create high-quality avatars based on your photos in a few steps on your phone. To launch AI Avatar, we enhanced a generative AI model based on the open-source image synthesizer and boosted it with our face swap technology, which refines the tool's accuracy.
