Tips for the best 2016 Filter photo

  • Use a clear, front-facing selfie. AI keeps your face and pose, so a sharp photo where your face fills a good part of the frame gives the best likeness.
  • Avoid heavy filters on the original. Start from the plain photo; the look brings its own light and colour.
  • Any background works. An effect keeps your scene, so the photo still looks like where you took it.
  • Fine-tune afterwards. The intensity slider fades the result back toward your original until it looks right.

How Flashbae AI looks work

An effect re-shoots your photo and keeps your scene: bright, warm and saturated: the 2016 Instagram feed is back. Every look shows a before and after, and you can share a reveal video of the change. The photo you pick is sent to Google's Gemini image model to make the result; the upload isn't kept, and Google doesn't train on it.
