Turns a selfie into a painted 18th-century-style portrait, with dozens of other historical and fantasy filters.
PortraitAI takes an uploaded selfie and renders it as a painted portrait in an 18th-century aristocratic style, the effect the app is best known for, alongside a wider set of filters covering other historical periods, cartoon looks, and fantasy themes. It ships as iOS and Android apps built by an independent developer rather than a browser tool. Results come back as downloadable images; there is no editing beyond picking a filter and, on some filters, adjusting intensity.
The iOS app bills $4.99/week or $19.99/month for full access to the filter library; individual portraits can also be unlocked separately.
Use tool ↗Does one thing well: it renders a recognizable, painterly 18th-century portrait from a normal selfie, and that specific filter is still the reason people install it years after its viral moment. Outside that signature look, the roster of extra filters is closer to what any general photo-filter app offers.
Watch out: Best results need a clear, front-facing photo without glasses; side angles and busy backgrounds noticeably degrade the likeness.
