Showcase
Description
Best used for: Social media avatars, Moments and Xiaohongshu covers, phone wallpapers, lock screens, personal photoshoots, artistic photo collections, and unified visual profile imagery. Product Description: The Ethereal Black and White Portrait tool generates atmospheric portraits. Upload your photo to receive a black and white film portrait that looks captured in a fleeting moment: hair blowing across the eyes and cheeks, soft motion blur, the subject positioned firmly in the center, and generous quiet negative space surrounding them. Core Features: Preserves your likeness: Facial structure, proportions, and hairstyle match the original photo; the hazy effect comes purely from blur and occlusion. Seven optional styles: Ranging from clear and healing to ghostly motion blur, covering various moods, with support for custom descriptions. Three blur levels: From clear facial features to silhouettes only, letting you choose the degree of obscurity. Flexible aspect ratios: Vertical, square, or horizontal formats are supported, with automatic background extension to maintain negative space and center the subject. Single-photo workflow: No prompts required; simply upload a photo to generate images. Usage Tips: Even lighting and clear facial features yield the most stable results. For a more storytelling vibe, choose a "medium" or "high" blur level; for everyday avatars, Style B with a "low" blur level is recommended. Styles: A: Blowing Hair & Hazy Black & White (Default) B: High-Key White Wall & Clear Hair (Clean and healing) C: Low-Key Darkroom & Ghostly Motion Blur (Mysterious and moody) D: Matte Soft Focus (Dreamy, soft, and distant) E: Laughter Motion & Snapshot Vibe (Vibrant and authentic) F: Grainy Film & Retro Street (High contrast and light leaks) G: Faded Monochrome & Cold Tone (Magazine cover style)

ImageCinematic Street Portrait
Upload a single clear portrait reference photo to create an image, with the aspect ratio, light direction, focal length, and other details adjustable as needed. Using the uploaded reference photo as the sole basis for the person, this Skill creates a cinematic black-and-white street portrait with a sense of calm amid the bustle. The person’s identity is strictly preserved, including facial features, expression, skin tone, age, gender, body type, hairstyle, accessories, and clothing. They are placed at the center of a constantly moving crowd, with only the subject remaining sharp while the surrounding people and foreground show horizontal motion trails. The result has a pure black-and-white, high-contrast look with natural side lighting and a documentary street-photography feel reminiscent of film grain.
