All of you in one photo
A baby photo shows the child on their own. A family portrait shows the whole picture: the two of you, together with a possible child of yours, close together at home by a window or outdoors in a park. It is the kind of photo you might one day have on the fridge, a little ahead of time.
The child can be a boy, a girl or twins, and you choose the age: a baby of about 9 months, a child of about 6 or a teenager of about 15. A family portrait costs 1 credit, the same as a baby photo. Made with a credit, it is rendered at a higher resolution so that every face in it stays sharp; the free preview is made in standard quality.
You both stay recognisably yourselves. The AI keeps each parent's face, hair, glasses and age from their photo, and only changes clothing, pose, light and background. The child is the only new person: a natural mix of your features, as a baby, a child or a teenager, or as twins.
Getting a good portrait
Because the portrait keeps your faces, your photos matter even more than for a baby photo:
- use a clear photo of each of you, one person per photo, looking at the camera;
- choose daylight or other soft light, without strong shadows;
- avoid sunglasses, hats and beauty filters, which the AI would copy;
- pick recent photos, so the portrait shows you as you are now.
Both of you need to agree to the photos being used, and both of you must be adults.
A picture for fun
A family portrait is an AI-generated picture, made for fun. It cannot know what a real child of yours would look like, and every result carries a visible AI-generated mark. If you are curious about the genetics behind looks, our guide to who a baby looks like explains what research has found.
