The parents’ photo portrait is SeeMyBaby’s baby face generator. You add one photo of each parent, and the app imagines a newborn who blends both of you. No ultrasound needed, which makes it the feature to use before your first scan, or when you’re simply curious about the mix.
Who it’s for and what you upload
It’s for couples who keep asking “whose nose will the baby get?” You’ll need two photos:
- One photo of each parent. A front-facing face, well lit, one person per picture.
- No scan. If you do have a scan photo and want the portrait to start from it instead, use the ultrasound to baby portrait.
The app also asks which trimester you’re in (or skip it), whether you know the sex, your family’s heritage (White, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, or “rather not say”) and what you’re most curious about: eyes, nose and smile, hair, family resemblance or growing up. Those answers steer the portrait.
How it works
- Answer the short questions.
- Add one photo of each parent from your library or take them on the spot.
- A live progress bar runs for about a minute while the AI draws.
- Your imagined newborn appears, ready to save, share or keep in the gallery.
Want to see the same child older? The 4-year-old preview uses both parents’ photos to imagine your child at age 4, as a one-time purchase.
Tips for the best result
- Face the camera. Side angles hide the shape of the nose and jaw.
- Use daylight. Window light shows true skin tone; orange indoor bulbs shift it.
- Skip filters and beauty modes. Smoothing apps change face shape, and the AI will blend that, not you.
- No sunglasses, hats or masks. Hair and eyes are part of what’s blended.
- Match the photos. Two similar, recent photos give a fairer blend than one studio portrait next to one old snapshot.
What it can’t do
A baby face generator can’t read genes from a photo. Traits such as eye color are shaped by many genes working together, which is why, as MedlinePlus Genetics notes, parents can have a child with an eye color neither of them has. So:
- It doesn’t predict your baby’s face. It imagines one possible blend.
- Each render can differ. The same two photos won’t give an identical baby every time.
- It can’t weigh resemblance fairly between parents. Who a baby ends up looking like is a mix no image model can know in advance.
- It’s not a paternity or genetics tool and gives no medical information.
If you want the science behind the guesswork, read what will my baby look like?, our trait-by-trait guide, or do babies look more like mom or dad? for what the research found.
Are baby face generators safe?
It’s a fair question, since you’re uploading two faces. In SeeMyBaby:
- Both photos are held in memory only while the portrait renders and are never written to a disk or a database.
- The finished portrait stays on our server only until your phone has a copy, and never longer than 24 hours.
- Your account is anonymous: no name, address or date of birth.
Ask the other parent before you upload their photo; it’s their face too. Our privacy checklist for AI baby generators covers what to look for in any app.
