What users say
Pros
- Photo clean-up tools do the job: background removal keeps clean edges, even on hair, and restoration revives damaged old photos.
- Browser-based image creation and photo editing work immediately without an account.
- Captures atmospheric mood well for casual art and creative portraits.
Cons
- Rendered human figures frequently show distorted hands, warped fingers, or unnatural limbs.
- Control is weak: results can miss the prompt, object placement is unpredictable, and there are no seeds to repeat a look.
- Credit balances and tier rules are confusing, and free generation limits appear only after an upload is submitted.
- AI headshots frequently drift away from the facial likeness in the uploaded photos.
