AI Portraits is our original AI technology. It uses custom models.
AI Prompts were introduced in October 2025: they leverage advanced NanoBanana models, including the NanoBanana 2K and 4K variants, for enhanced facial likeness and image quality.
Both are in beta, meaning they're subject to change.
They both have strengths. Let's compare & contrast them in a table so you can figure out what's best for you?
