Over the last five years, Generated Photos has been on an incredible journey, transforming the way we see and interact with AI-generated imagery.

Let’s wander back through time to explore the groundbreaking moments when we breathed life into full-bodied digital humans.

2019: The dawn of something special

Our story began in 2019 when we decided to share 100,000 AI-generated faces with the world. It was a moment that caught the eyes of big names like The New York Times and VICE, but it was just the start. We knew our creations were a bit too perfect, like models from a glossy magazine cover, and our community was craving something more real, more relatable.

2020: Getting closer to reality

Taking the feedback to heart, we went back to the drawing board. By collaborating with everyday people and refining our technology, we managed to capture the essence of natural beauty. Our gallery expanded to 2 million faces, each with a story and imperfections.

2021: Face Generator era

Then came the Face Generator, a groundbreaking tool that felt like magic. Suddenly, anyone could create a face that matched their imagination across any age, skin tone, or emotion.

Our gallery grew to 2.6 million unique faces, showcasing more than just a leap in quantity. This expansion represented a venture into new territories, unlocking a realm filled with endless creative possibilities.

2022: Giving bodies to our faces

Our ambitions grew, and so did our capabilities. We introduced our first 100,000 generated humans, bringing a new dimension to our creations.

Now, our focus has extended beyond mere facial representations. We embraced personalities, narratives, and the rich diversity that shapes the human experience.

2024: Elevating the Human Generator
