Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Family Photo Maker and Photo AI?
Family Photo Maker specializes in combining separate selfies from multiple family members into one unified group portrait. Photo AI focuses primarily on individual AI headshots and portraits of a single person. If you need a family group photo where people are in different locations, Family Photo Maker is the better choice.

Photo AI is optimized for individual portraits and headshots. While it excels at creating professional-looking photos of one person, it is not designed to combine multiple people from separate photos into one group portrait. Family Photo Maker was built specifically for this use case.

Yes. Family Photo Maker supports up to 14 subjects in one portrait, including pets. Upload a clear photo of your dog, cat, or other pet alongside family member selfies, and they will be included naturally in the group portrait.
