photoshot

What it does

A complete Next.js application that fine-tunes on a handful of selfies and generates stylised avatars, including the auth, database and Stripe payment plumbing — effectively the source of a paid product. Development stopped in December 2024 while the commercial site keeps running, so treat it as a reference build rather than something to deploy unchanged. Training on someone else's face without consent is the line worth naming explicitly. MIT.

photoshot FAQ

Is photoshot free?

photoshot itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use photoshot?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does photoshot work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use photoshot commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
