Everything we've learned about generating photos of real people: how to pick selfies a model can actually work with, why an AI portrait reads as fake and what to do about it, what the apps in this category really cost, and which AI models are worth running your prompt through.

Choosing an app

• The best Aesth alternatives in 2026 What Aesth does well, the two reasons people leave it, and the apps worth moving to — including when the answer isn't us.
• Aesth pricing, explained What Aesth Pro actually costs per year, how credits differ from coins, and what "free to download" leaves out.
• How to cancel Aesth Pro The exact steps, why deleting the app doesn't cancel anything, and how Apple handles refunds.

Making better photos

• How to make aesthetic AI photos that don't look AI-generated The tells that give a generated photo away — plastic skin, directionless light, everything in focus — and how to avoid each one.
• Realistic and viral AI headshots A LinkedIn headshot and a scroll-stopping one follow opposite rules. What works for each, and where AI still struggles.
• Which AI model makes the most realistic photos? Flux 2 Pro, Seedream 4.5, Nano Banana Pro, Recraft V3, Kling — what each is actually good at, and why "best" is the wrong question.
