I will say, though, if you don’t care about the privacy concerns and want to try it once, $3.99 to to have all that work done for you and wind up with 50 pictures is a pretty good deal IMO. I happen to have way too many selfies/pictures of myself and the results were absolutely incredible.

I did 50 images of myself and also selected female (I’m a guy), so most of the end results were quite femme. What blew my mind though was that one of the pictures looks identical to my sister (who looks like like me). Super freaky, and yeah, not very private, but like I said I’m pretty lax on that stuff

Just a PSA if you’re trans and that “pick your gender” thing sounds intriguing: be ready for a more complicated emotional impact than you might expect. I’m not saying not to do it, but make sure you’re in a good place first. The mix of gender dysphoria and euphoria I felt from seeing some of my images was a lot more than I was prepared for. YMMV, but at least know that there’s a risk. I had to lie down for a while.

Edit: I wonder what was going through of the heads of the people who downvoted this and made it controversial. Is it just transphobia? I'm trying to look out for other trans folks and help them make sure they're not stepping into an emotional experience they're not prepared for. What about that makes someone think "I'm gonna downvote this"?

People up- and downvote stuff for thousands of reasons, why feel attacked? Lol.

i was contemplating selecting "other" or "male" out of curiosity-- do you know the different "styles" it uses based on that selection? I cannot find a list anywhere, and would love to see examples before pursuing that. Most people I've seen are only posting a couple from their results. Thanks!

The styles I got for female were "Fantasy", "Fairy Princess", "Focus", "Stylish", "Pop", "Anime", "Light", "Kawaii", "Iridescent", and "Cosmic". I don't know what the male and "other" ones are.

But the effect of that setting goes beyond the style. I got a few images that look roughly like me, a bunch that look nothing like me (I think that's just standard), and then a significant number that looked like you artfully turned down the slider on every feature I feel self-conscious about. That last category was the one that really fucked with my head, although I will say that after a day or so, I feel a lot more comfortable with these images.
