You’ve seen them.
Those AI-generated photos that almost look real.
But then, you notice something off. The faces.
Sometimes, they’re just not quite right. A bit too symmetrical or the eyes don’t match.
We’re in an era where AI can create images that amaze us, yet it’s the human face that often trips it up.
Why is that? Faces are complex. Emotions, expressions and tiny details that we take for granted are hard to replicate.
That’s where the charm of AI photos ends and the quest for realism begins.

As a digital artist I’ve generated tens of thousands of AI images.

But the best and quickest way is to do a photo fix in AI Editor
Not the creepy kind, but a sophisticated AI tool designed to perfect those quirky faces.

Other Methods to Try:
I’ve personally tried all of these so you might have better luck with these options.
👉 CFPGAN / RestoreFormer – developed by Tencent, probably the most popular way to fix faces. Includes multi face and upscaling at the same time.
👉 Inpainting / generative fill – this method is also a good choice, because you can brush, use a prompt and literally replace the face, head or any other parts of the image too.
👉 AI Detailer – this tool will not only enhance faces, but add more details to the entire image. It’s perfect for creating larger versions of small AI images.
When AI “Faces” Reality
To wrap it up, AI-generated photos are a marvel of modern technology.
Yet, when it comes to faces, AI quite often misses the mark.
It’s like a digital cosmetic surgeon, but less invasive.
The process is straightforward. Upload, fix and voila.
The face is fixed, retaining its original charm but with a touch of realism.
So next time you see an AI face that looks a bit off, remember, there’s a fix for that.
