How To Create & Post Magic Avatars On Instagram Trend.
Using AI art generators is certainly becoming a mainstream activity online, especially for those who enjoy sharing their results on social media. Platforms like DALL-E and Midjourney Beta paved the way for various image-editing apps that produce regularly enhanced photos to step it up and add an AI component to their editing suites. One such app has been found to be distinctly responsible for the online trend of posting artistic AI selfies on Instagram.
There’s an ongoing onslaught of captivating AI-generated selfies infiltrating everyone’s Instagram feeds lately, and those who are unfamiliar with the technology behind it may be wondering how they can hop on the AI art bandwagon. Many users have taken to using a particular image-editing app to create portraits of themselves as seemingly magical beings, complete with otherworldly, beautiful features. Other renderings also showcase cool themes that make the photos look like commissioned artwork worthy of display in one’s own home or gallery.
People who are interested in generating their own set of ‘magic avatars’ can do so using a service called Lensa AI. The photo and video-editing app — which is currently #1 in the App Store’s Photo & Video app charts and has over 10 million downloads on Google Play — recently added an AI feature that allowed users to upload several selfies for analysis, resulting in a series of images portraying themselves in a variety of creative styles. In order to gain access to Lensa AI app’s magic avatars functionality, users would have to download the free app and upgrade to a paid subscription. In addition, they will also need to pay a one-time fee to download the rendered images themselves.
How To Generate & Post Magic Avatars On Instagram
The price of an unlimited Lensa AI subscription is pretty steep at $49.99 a year as of this writing, but if users aren’t particularly committed to using the app as the main photo editing tool on their mobile device and just want to get their hands on a few magic avatars, they can opt for the one-week free trial. They must remember to cancel it after, though, to avoid being auto-charged the subscription fee, which appears to keep rising with the app's growing popularity.
Once they go through the process of generating magic avatars — upload 10-20 selfies showcasing a variety of poses, angles, and facial expressions and select a gender (which will affect the styles that’ll be applied to the results) — they’ll be asked to purchase between 50-200 newly rendered images, with a price range (subject to change) of $7.99 to $15.99 per package. These prices go down when users opt for the unlimited subscription.
It’ll take quite a bit of time for the Lensa AI app to generate the photos, so feel free to click ‘Notify me when it’s done,’ exit the platform, and do other things while waiting. Once the notification is received, users can re-launch the Lensa AI app, go to the ‘Photos’ tab, and hit the ‘Magic Avatars’ button to find the new avatar pack.
