Updated October 18, 2026. The website previously linked from this MagicPhotos AI listing, magicphotos.com, now redirects to Magic Studio. This guide explains the current destination and highlights information to check before uploading portraits or paying. It is based on public documentation, not a hands-on generation test.

What does the current service offer?
Magic Studio generates personal portraits from uploaded photos. Its homepage describes professional, social and dating looks. The useful distinction is between previewing a generated set and paying for downloadable files.
Potential uses include a LinkedIn profile, a founder biography, a speaker page or a refreshed social avatar. Choose an image that still represents your current appearance. For a company directory, agree on framing and background first; matching visual styles does not mean the service produces a genuine group photograph.
Free previews, paid packs and pricing
The homepage advertises 50 free watermarked previews. Its personal-photo packs are one-time purchases:
- Starter: three standard-resolution downloads and three credits.
- Standard: all 50 standard-resolution downloads and three credits.
- Premium: all 50 downloads in 4K and 50 credits.
The headshot page displays a starting price of US$59 alongside 50 headshots and five looks. It does not clearly map that offer to every homepage pack. Prices can vary by location; check the selected pack, currency, taxes and any extra credits at checkout. The older Spark, Flame and Fire prices are not reliable current offers.
Refund information conflicts. The homepage describes paid packs as non-refundable except where required by law. The headshot FAQ still describes a conditional refund within three days when fewer than four results are acceptable and none have been downloaded. The general terms also set a non-refundable baseline while allowing discretionary exceptions. Ask support which policy applies before purchasing; do not assume a blanket money-back guarantee.
How to approach a first session
- Prepare suitable inputs. The headshot instructions request 10 varied, clear photos with consistent facial features. Use photos you have permission to upload.
- Review the preview set. Check the face, teeth, eyes, glasses, hair, clothing and background. Reject flattering results that misrepresent you.
- Choose the smallest suitable purchase. Compare the number of downloads and resolution against where the picture will appear. Avoid paying for print-resolution output solely for a small avatar.
- Check before publishing. Inspect the exported file at full size and in its final crop. Keep an original photograph available if an employer or platform requires one.
Timing is an estimate: the homepage says around 15 minutes for most sets, while the headshot FAQ still mentions longer, plan-dependent processing. Do not rely on a guaranteed turnaround for an urgent submission.
Privacy and practical limitations
The product pages say uploaded photos are used for personal models rather than general training. However, the broader privacy policy says inputs and outputs may be used to improve machine models. Retention wording also differs: the homepage mentions deletion of the personal model after 90 days, whereas the headshot page describes 30-day data deletion. These statements cover potentially different data and do not establish one clear retention promise.
Before uploading sensitive portraits, ask the provider to confirm the applicable training, retention and deletion rules. The privacy policy identifies the operator as aarzoo, Inc. and gives [email protected] for deletion requests. Its general terms restrict service use to adults and require rights to uploaded content.
AI likeness and image quality need individual review. This listing does not verify a resemblance score, guaranteed accuracy or mobile-app feature parity. A synthetic portrait is unsuitable where an authentic, unaltered identity photograph is required.
