What the AI Face Generation tool does
AI Face Generation converts a set of appearance parameters — gender, age band, ethnicity, hair & eye details, body type, beard, makeup — into unique portraits in ≈15s. Every result is royalty-free for commercial use and can cascade automatically into any other ZenCreator tool.
