Only man, woman and couple avatars are supported.

It is important that the provided URLs are publicly available for at least 30 minutes so that our services can fetch it and run the training.

As you submit the request, you will be given with an inference identifier which can be used in the second call to fetch the results.

Get the generated avatars

Now that you have the request submitted, you will need to make another call to Get the instant avatar inferences service to check the status and fetch the results.

The status of the request can be one of the following: ACCEPTED, IN_PROGRESS, DONE, FAILED, IMAGE_NOT_VALID. And when you get the status DONE, then you can also fetch the avatar URLs:

The number of provided URLs will depend on the count of avatars that was initially requested.

Here each generated avatar is provided with a URL that will be available during 48 hours for download.

Congratulations, now you have tried and tested the full cycle of AI Avatar creation.

For developers

Some important notes for developers

As you can see, all services and endpoints are stateless and anonymous. Picsart doesn't know for which end user the training is done. You will need to manage the state in your software and infra.
Result avatars do get deleted in 2 days. If those are not retrieved and saved, those images will automatically be deleted from Picsart's infrastructure.
Source images are recommended to be JPG that are downsized to 512x512 pixels.
