PicLooks Avatars

Hey Product Hunt community, I'm Jonny, the maker of PicLooks Avatars 👋 I’m a UI/UX designer, and I made this resource because through my career I’ve spent hours and hours trying to find decent profile pictures to use in my mockups. ❌  Most stock photos are look overly polished. NO NORMAL PERSON uses these sort of photos on apps. ❌  You can’t use actual UGC Because you don’t have the rights from the people in the photos. Playing with Midjourney, I saw a way to solve my problem. Though most people are creating art, or photos that look like professional photography, I found it was just as good at creating the imperfect, realistic photos that real people use as their avatars. The avatars I’ve created: ✅  Are Fully AI-generated. This means you can use them for any purpose. ✅  Look like real people. Not just models. ✅  Are diverse! All ages, genders and ethnicities. Hopefully, these avatars will ⏰ save you time searching, and 🎨 make the people in your designs look more authentic. And then hopefully in your design crit you get a round of applause and a promotion (not guaranteed). I appreciate any feedback. Do they look real to you? Are there any looks you think are missing? 🙏 Jonny x (follow me on twitter: jnyms)

Very useful. I definitely agree that most stock photos tend to look overly polished, it was something that was off-putting me from using them. Good luck and congrats on the launch!

wow, this app is incredibly useful! I've been looking for something like this for so long. Thank you so much for creating it. I'm curious - are the avatars I see in PicLooks Avatars unique to each user, or can multiple users access the same avatars?

Hey Jonny, These AI-generated avatars look incredibly realistic! How often do you plan to update the avatar collection with new faces? It would be awesome to have a constantly refreshing selection. Congrats on the launch!

Good Resource

100% (re: stock photos looking incredibly fake) - congrats on the launch!

Coool!! I love such simple ideas with profound implications
