How do I generate a portrait from a face description?
Write a text description of the face you want to see — include age, hair color and style, eye color, facial hair, expression, and framing. The tool generates a portrait based on your description. You can refine the description and regenerate until you get the likeness and expression you want.

Tips for Face and Portrait Prompts
Facial details benefit from clear, ordered descriptions.
Input Constraints
Describe one person per prompt for clean facial focus

Practical Tips
Lead with the most distinctive facial features first — eyes, hair, facial hair
Add expression and mood to produce more natural-looking portraits
Specify lighting direction on the face — soft front light, dramatic side light
Avoid describing multiple people in one prompt for face-focused results

Limitations to know before generating
Generated faces are not real people; they are AI-created interpretations of your description.
Fine control over exact facial proportions or specific likeness is difficult with text descriptions alone.
Multiple people in one prompt often lead to blended or unclear facial features.
Text elements like visible text on clothing may not render clearly.
Results depend on how clearly you describe facial features, expression, and framing.
