We are happy to share with you a massive free resource of 100k faces, generated from scratch using AI.
This project showcases a glimpse into the technology we are building to create media on-demand.
These AI-Generated Faces are the Stuff of Nightmares (and Dreams)Add to favorites We're all familiar with the wierd stock photo: women laughing at salads; a nun hanging out with a fish; the hoodie-wearing hacker watching endless Matrix re-runs. Now, New York-based Icons8 wants to help those seeking images of anonymously handsome people in their presentation, by offering a royalty-free portfolio of 100,000 AI-generated faces; replete with only a few freaky idiosyncrasies.
These AI-generated people are coming to kill stock photographyIf you've ever looked at a prescription drug ad and wondered to yourself whether that happy, mid-60s couple could possibly be real, well, that reality is about to get a whole lot more confusing to ponder. Because AI could soon encroach on the territory of those models, whether actors you see in ads or the models who sit for stock photography.
This website offers 100,000 AI-generated portraits for freeWe've already seen that AI-generated faces can look so realistic that it's sometimes difficult to distinguish them from real ones. And if you want to put a fake headshot to use, Generated Photos lets you choose from 100,000 AI-generated faces. They're all free for download and you can use them whichever way you want.
AI Generates 100,000 Faces To Make It Available For FreeWe have already witnessed how Artificial Intelligence can help when it comes to generating faces. If you are still curious, you can check out ThisPersonDoesNot Exist.com - which will generate random faces every time you reload the webpage. Now, Generated Photos is the next big thing to watch out for.
This Company Thinks It Can Solve Diversity With 100,000 Fake AI FacesA startup thinks it can solve diversity issues in stock imagery by replacing real people with algorithmically-generated portraits of people who don't exist. Generated Photos, a collection of 100,000 images of AI-generated faces, is owned by Icons8, a company that makes stock icons and illustrations for designers.
100,000 free AI-generated headshots put stock photo companies on noticeIt's getting easier and easier to use AI to generate convincing-looking, yet entirely fake, pictures of people. Now, one company wants to find a use for these photos, by offering a resource of 100,000 AI-generated faces to anyone that can use them - royalty free.
Generated Photos: 100000 Free AI Generated Faces for Your DesignsFor most design projects and presentations, a common part is searching for photos of people. What designers strive for is quality images that are also diverse, free and legal. What's more, it often means spending precious time looking for the proper photo content all around the Web.
A project that used AI to generate 100,000 facesThis article was first published on our sister Site, Whats New On The Net . The way artificial intelligence (AI) is changing our lives can no longer be ignored. The creators say this: One area where AI is making waves is image processing & facial recognition.
AI-Generated Faces: Free Resource of 100K Faces Without CopyrightOne of the most popular needs for design projects and presentations is photos of people. You want them diverse, free and legal, don't you? What's more, you don't want to spend your precious time looking for what you need scattered all around the Web.

Hey PH, we are really excited to give you a look at our upcoming tech. We have put together a free resource of 100k faces for you to use however you wish. But these aren't just normal faces. These images were produced completely by our artificial intelligence — none of these people are real! We are currently working hard to train and refine our generative models toward our ultimate goal: creating a simple API that can produce infinite diversity. We are iterating fast, but things aren’t perfect quite yet. When you see a face that is a bit ‘off’, just give it some slack. 😅 We also know that the future can be unnerving at times. That is why we went above and beyond to assure personal safety in our systems. All of our training data was shot in-house and is fully model released. No images were pulled from stock media or scraped from the internet. This requires thousands of hours of labor, but in the end we know it will be worth it! These faces feature: - Consistent lighting - Consistent sizing - Range of angles, positions - Range of facial expressions - Wide variety of ethnicities - All ages - All face shapes Have your next mockup, presentation or website looking great with these fresh faces. Everything is free for non-commercial use as long as you include link attribution back to https://generated.photos, so that more people can find us. Have fun and let us know what you make!

Hey @drew_dunn1, thanks a lot! The launch has just started so it seems to be a bit early to strike any balance.

@gainingam_phaomei It'd be glad to the team! 🙌 Sure you could use it, but with a backlink. I already have asked about links in different thread, so here you go: "If you plan to use photo on your website, set a link to Generated Photos on all pages where you use our content. If you use it on most pages, a link in your footer is fine. Desktop and Mobile apps should have a link in the About dialog or Settings. Also, please credit our work in your App Store or Google Play description (something like "Photos by Generated Photos" is fine)."

Hey @ikalimullin @pavel_malay @zzzhabinskiy @visualpharm I made a simple API. This URL gives you a random image https://100k-faces.glitch.me/ran... And this one just a random image URL as JSON https://100k-faces.glitch.me/ran... Here's the demo https://100k-faces.glitch.me/ Here's the source code https://github.com/ozgrozer/100k... And here's the Product Hunt example

@hypervillain @visualpharm @ryanwmark Sounds a lot like www.artificialtalent.co I'm the co-founder and a former Ford Model - your problem will be controlling for full body posing which cant be done at present with AI alone. You could simply put the AI face on a real model but that'd defeat most of the cost savings youre trying to keep by avoiding a human asset. AI is excellent for generating novel faces on demand however, only a part of the equation for fashion modeling. Let me know if you want to chat about it, would love to involve you.

@yash haha, that's what our first target. The industry that robs photographers and washes away 70% to compete on a saturated market — it should go as we know it.
