Realistic AI profile pictures that don't look AI-generated.
Free, open-source, and private — you bring your own fal.ai key and it never leaves your browser.
Live at realpfp.vercel.app
Pick a look, dial in who and what appears, and generate as many profile pictures as you like. The prompts are tuned to dodge the usual AI tells — plastic skin, mangled hands, garbled text, every face dead-centre.
- Three looks — Aspirational (polished but real), Profile picture (natural, postable), Authentic candid (documentary, imperfect).
- Control the people — sliders for ethnicity and gender distribution, or an even random mix.
- Control the details — how often glasses, jewellery, hats, pets, named locations and more show up.
- Coherent scenes — time of day, weather and light always agree (no smiling in a thunderstorm).
- Batch & export — generate in bulk, save favourites, download a single image or a ZIP.
You'll need Node.js and a free fal.ai key.
git clone https://github.com/heyimjames/RealPFP.git
cd RealPFP
npm install
npm run devOpen localhost:2929, hit Settings, and paste your fal.ai key. It's stored only in your browser and sent nowhere except fal.ai.
The same prompt engine ships as a skill for Claude Code and other coding agents. Ask for "8 team avatars" and it writes the prompts, runs them on the image API your project already uses (or your own fal, Gemini, OpenAI, xAI or Replicate key), and saves the files.

Every image builds a detailed, randomised prompt from your settings — traits, scene, lighting, camera, framing — written as natural description and sent to fal.ai's nano-banana-2 model. The prompt logic leans on positive description (what real photos actually have: pore texture, one light source, correct anatomy) rather than negation, which is what keeps results from looking synthetic.
