Lover Snap is an iOS app that creates new AI-powered photographs with the people you love. Built around both memorial and everyday use, the app lets users upload a few reference photos, train a private AI character, and generate photorealistic images in any scene. It serves anyone who wants new photos with someone they care about - including those who have passed away, who live far away, or who they simply wish they had more pictures with.
How It Works
- Upload selfies: Users pick 3 to 16 photos of themselves or the person they want to include. Variety matters more than count - close-ups, full-body shots, and different angles help the AI produce better results.
- Train an AI character: The app uses Flux image engine to build a private AI character that resembles the person in the reference photos. Training takes about 30 minutes and runs only for that user.
- Generate photos: Users pick a scene and generate photorealistic images in roughly 23 seconds each. Up to 16 photos can be queued at once on the Basic plan, or 12 at once on Advanced.
Key Capabilities
- Virtual photoshoots: Duo mode lets two trained characters appear together in a single scene, handling composition automatically.
- Customizable scenes: Indoor and outdoor settings, themed and seasonal backgrounds, configurable down to details.
- Dynamic poses and styles: Body, portrait, and clothing controls with Fashion, Classic, and Traditional style options.
- Pet-friendly modeling: The app supports cats, dogs, and other pets when enough reference photos are provided.
- Live Photos and video memories: Available on the Advanced plan, these add ambient motion to create short video memories without simulated speech.
Use Cases
- Memorial photography: The app was built with memorial use as a primary focus. Users create wedding photos with a late parent, birthday pictures with a grandparent who never made it home, or quiet scenes with a pet who has passed.
- Long-distance relationships: Couples separated by distance generate shared photos of themselves doing everyday activities together, like visiting a beach or sitting at a favorite cafe.
- Family portraits: Extended families create group photos when not everyone can be in the same place at the same time.
Ethics and Privacy
Lover Snap publishes a detailed ethics framework with six commitments: consent is required before generating photos of anyone; the app never generates photos of minors; it does not simulate speech or create deepfake conversations; reference photos are encrypted and never used to train shared models; every generated photo carries content credentials identifying it as AI-generated; and the app is positioned as a tool for honoring memory, not replacing grief counseling.
