Generate portrait

Artistic portraits are just a few clicks away.

Use the Text to Image feature in the Firefly web app to create beautiful portraits of people based on an image or just your imagination.

Go from prompt to portrait with Firefly.

Use the Text to Image feature in the Firefly web app as a portrait generator for free. Upload an image and transform it into an artistic take on the original or simply describe a portrait in order to generate an image of a person you imagine.

Use an image or just your words.

Upload a photo as a Reference Image, adjust your settings and write a prompt to guide the artistic adaptation — something as simple as “turn photo into oil painting” can produce compelling results. To create a portrait of an imaginary person, describe the image you want to generate, such as “portrait of a woman with long brown hair smiling”.

Customise your portrait.

Select an effect like Anime or Linocut from the Effects section to add artistic flair to your portrait. You can also customise the angle, lighting, colour and tone in your settings. Use highly detailed descriptions, particularly if you are creating an image only from a prompt.

Use your portraits anywhere.

Use adapted photo portraits for profile images, as social media avatars, to create unique gifts for friends and beyond. Portraits of imagined people are ideal for mocking up ideas for games, books, website designs and more — or simply as digital artworks.
