Before you start
- Influencers are 18 or older. You can describe a look from scratch or start from your own photos.
- If your account is still waiting for its spot, you can create your influencer now. Their team starts when your spot opens. See Your free trial and account activation.
On the web
- Sign in. A new account goes straight to the creator. Otherwise open the influencer switcher at the top of the left menu and choose New influencer.
- In the first step, Appearance, choose Design from scratch or Start from my photos or video.
- For a design from scratch, pick a vibe: Aspirational, Characterful, Icon or Creature. Then tap the traits you care about. You can skip any of them.
- Press Generate Look. Influgen draws faces and shows them full screen. Click the one you like. It usually takes under a minute, so keep the tab open.
- Work through Identity, Wardrobe & Settings, Personality and Preview. Edit the name and bio if you want to.
- Press Create Influencer.
On your phone
- Open the influencer switcher at the top of the screen and choose New influencer. With no influencers yet, the Influencers tab shows Create an influencer.
- Choose a vibe, then fill in the basics and the look.
- Press Draw faces, pick one, then press Use this face.
Starting from your own photos
Add up to five clear photos of your face, or one video of 5 to 60 seconds. Then:
- Use good light and a face that is not covered. No sunglasses.
- Show only one person, and make sure that person is you or someone who agreed.
- Public figures and anyone under 18 can't be used.
- Press Read my photos. For Close likeness, take a quick live selfie so Influgen knows the photos are you.
Tip: Talk in your video and your influencer can have your voice too. See How videos, reels and voices work.
How many faces are free
The first four faces are free. Drawing more costs credits, and the button shows the number before you press it.
