Black & white portrait FAQ
Is the black and white portrait generator free to use?+
Yes. Every account gets 25 free credits each day with no credit card required, so you can keep creating for free. Upgrade only if you want more volume or faster generations.
Can I keep my own face in the result?+
Yes. Upload a clear photo and turn on Keep this character — the AI preserves your likeness while restyling everything around it. Want something brand new instead? Skip the upload and generate from text alone.
Can I use the images commercially?+
Images you generate on a paid plan are yours to use commercially. On the free plan they're meant for personal use. Either way, avoid prompts that copy a real brand, logo or a living person's likeness.
Do I need to install an app?+
No. It runs entirely in your browser on phone, tablet or desktop — nothing to download, sign up and start in seconds.
Can I control the contrast and mood?+
Yes. Ask for high-key (bright and airy) or low-key (dark and dramatic), add film grain, or set the lighting direction right in the prompt.
