What is PhotoMaker V2?

Three illustrative portraits of the same fictional woman in different settings

PhotoMaker V2 is TencentARC’s reference-based portrait-generation model. It combines identity information from input photos with a text prompt to create new portraits in different settings and styles without training a separate model for each person.

The official demo accepts one or more photos. Use clear reference images of the same person with the face prominent in the frame. The prompt must place the trigger word img after a class word, such as woman img or man img.

The interface also offers style templates, output aspect ratio and optional doodle-based control. Similarity depends on the source photos, prompt and settings; inspect the output rather than assuming exact identity preservation.

PhotoMaker V2 FAQ

Inputs, generation settings, account requirements and troubleshooting.

Is PhotoMaker V2 free to use here?

The public demo can be used within its Hugging Face GPU allowance. Free use is limited by the hosting provider’s quotas and shared capacity; it is not unlimited. Image Toolkit does not sell credits for this embedded tool.

Why must I include img in the prompt?

It is the demo’s identity trigger word. Put it immediately after the class word, such as woman img or man img, so the request uses the uploaded identity references.

How many reference photos should I upload?

The official demo accepts one or more. Start with clear photos of the same person and a prominent face. Additional useful views may improve the likeness.

Can PhotoMaker V2 control the portrait layout?

The demo includes output aspect ratios and an optional doodle-control section. Start without doodle control, then add it if you need a more specific composition.

Do I need an account or API key for PhotoMaker V2?

No Image Toolkit account or API key is needed to open the tool. Hugging Face may require sign-in to generate images and controls the available GPU allowance. Follow the access message inside the demo.

Why is PhotoMaker V2 not loading or generating?

The Space may be starting, busy or temporarily unavailable, or your GPU allowance may be exhausted. Check the message inside the tool. Select Reload if the frame is blank; wait for the provider’s quota reset if your allowance has run out.

Where are my prompts and uploaded images processed?

They are sent to the TencentARC/PhotoMaker-V2 Space on Hugging Face. The host’s processing and retention rules apply. This tool does not process your inputs locally in your browser.
