Is Faceapp really accurate?  I ask because I converted a face pic of mine to female, and it didn't look good...so now it has me worried...

There's another thread that has been covering this topic as there are a few of these apps.  My avatar is from FaceApp and probably one of the better ones I have experienced. 

And I certainly hope that they aren't too close to what I might look like because on the 2nd woman mode my face melts

With me, I used FaceApp in the beginning.  There were a few tries that were terrible, but after I found the right photo, it looked great.  Very close and very feminine. It helped me tremendously seeing what a possibility could be.   My avatar now is of the real me.  Felt real enough to be proud of it.

It's a free app.  Can't expect much.

I would try a lot of photos.  Some come out really bad usually due to lighting and other factors.  I've also found that, where I typically raise my eyebrows when I smile, Faceapp raises them even more (typical feminine difference) which gets cartoonish. 

But my avatar is from Faceapp and made me much happier than I expected.


And no it isn't accurate from a FFS perspective - but can give you clues as to what changes might be wanted.

FaceApp can give you good results, but you really have to try tons of photos, and all different angles and lighting.  When you find the one that works best, then consistently do that.

Like others though it gave me confidence in the beginning, but I stopped after they swapped out one of the females for another in the app.  I looked so much closer to the old female.

Now instead, I use my real picture and practice with digital makeup so I can use it as a guide to apply real makeup. My Avatar is from Pretty Makeup, although I look nearly identical when applying real makeup now too.  If only my hair would step up!

It seems to be better at converting male faces to female ones than vice versa.

I tried it once; made me look like I was 45, 100 lbs heavier, and that I'd spent the past 8 years in jail lol.

LOL.  That's funny

Yes,  very normal.  I've always hated pics of me, but this one made me smile wide.

All I do with my pics is crop them. Everyone here works so hard at living their lives as they see fit that I wouldn't feel right flaunting a pretty picture that isn't me.

Yikes, I look scary with no hair! [emoji79]

Yes, it is. At least it was for me. It's a very powerful thing. I wonder if the creators know what they've done to (or for) us.

FaceApp, combined with a few other factors that all came together at the same time, is the reason I started my transition after fighting my dysphoria for 50 years.

I have played around with it.  I'm not too sure about the algorithm they use as it's ok but can make some serious errors!

I took a few different photos and picked a couple I was ok with, then chose the female option, then fed the female ones back through and selected 'hollywood'  Here are a couple of mine, sadly a world away from reality but fun. 

 

Mine ended up looking like my mom...she's 78 and still a nice lookin lady. I stopped with that

Wait a sec hold the phone! I just tried FaceApp's  "Would you date the opposite gender version of yourself?" and . . .

Yes correct. I guess to "specify gender" I'd 'ave to get the app on my phone am using desktop "demo mode" only. Must be slanted toward FtM(?) cause every pic I try comes back same
