How AI Photo Generation Works
Identity Preservation in AI Photos
Identity preservation is the model's effort to keep your recognizable features — eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, hair, proportions — intact while it changes the scene around you.
It depends on the source photo
Features that are sharp and well-lit in your photo carry through accurately. Features in shadow, blurred, or covered get approximated, and approximations drift away from your likeness.
Front-facing helps
A photo where your face is turned toward the camera gives the model the most information. Extreme angles give it less to anchor to.
No obstructions
Sunglasses, a hand near the face, or hair across the eyes all force the model to invent that area. A clear view of the whole face gives the closest match.
