Go from prompt to portrait with Firefly
Use the Text to Image feature in the Firefly web app as a portrait AI generator for free. Upload an image and transform it into an artistic take on the original or simply describe a portrait in order to create an AI portrait 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 into the AI to generate, such as “portrait of a woman with long brown hair smiling”.
Customise your AI portrait.
Select an effect like Anime or Linocut from the Effects section to add artistic flair to your AI 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 AI portraits anywhere.
Use adapted photo AI portraits for profile images, as social media avatars, to create unique gifts for friends and beyond. AI portraits of imagined people are ideal for mocking up ideas
