Photic

Photic - AI Headshot Generator is an iPhone and iPad app from 42 Digital that creates AI-generated photos and portraits of the user, including headshots and profile pictures. Its App Store subtitle is Professional Profile Picture, and it sits in the Photo & Video category. Photic is meant for people who want AI-made portraits for online profiles and social media, in a look that reflects their own style.

Photic generates images in several styles, listed as Headshot, Back to 30s, Back to 90s and PP for IG, a profile picture for Instagram. Users can refine facial expressions and experiment with different looks, and Photic turns these choices into lifelike AI portraits. A premium subscription covers the AI Avatar and photo effects features, and separate output packages are sold as in-app purchases.

Photic is free to download. In-app purchases include weekly plans priced from $4.99 to $8.99, yearly plans at $29.99, $34.99 and $64.99, and output packages at $1.99 and $3.99. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off and can be cancelled at any time through Apple. Photic requires iOS 15.0 or iPadOS 15.0 or later and can run on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip, though it is not verified for macOS.

Photic is offered in English and 12 more languages, including Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Turkish. It supports accessibility features such as VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Dark Interface and Reduced Motion. Its App Store privacy label states that identifiers and usage data may be used to track users across apps and websites owned by other companies, and that user content may be collected without being linked to identity.
