# Create business photo or avatar from face image

This API function generates a custom avatar based on a single input image, ideal for creating high-quality avatars from a provided reference. Users can customize the avatar's dimensions, background, and style to suit various use cases.

Let's use this image as input:

When creating images, there are several model types available. However, these two are preferred for optimal results:

* see-dream-4.5
* qwen
* gemini-3-pro-image-preview
* flux2-klein9b

```json
{
    "url": "https://deep-image.ai/api-example3.jpg",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024,
    "background": {
        "generate": {
            "description": "Woman in a beige pantsuit, arms in pockets, looking professional, standing near a bookshelf. Outfit:  beige linen pantsuit and white blouse.",
            "adapter_type": "face",
            "model_type": "see-dream-4.5",
            "avatar_generation_type": "regular"
        }
    }
}
```

Also face swap can be used to ensure the face will be as close to source face as possible.

It can be done by specifying avatar\_generation\_type = "accurate"

```json
{
    "url": "https://deep-image.ai/api-example3.jpg",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024,
    "background": {
        "generate": {
            "description": " a woman sitting behind a desk in a modern office environment. her smiling face is seen from behind her computer screen, with only the top of her head and a portion of her shoulders visible. The office space around her is bright and airy, illuminated by soft, natural light streaming in from large windows.",
            "adapter_type": "face",
            "model_type": "google-gemini-image-flash",
            "avatar_generation_type": "accurate"
        }
    }
}
```

**Description of older models**

```json
{
    "url": "https://deep-image.ai/api-example3.jpg",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024,

        "generate": {
            "description": " a woman sitting behind a desk in a modern office environment. her smiling face is seen from behind her computer screen, with only the top of her head and a portion of her shoulders visible. The office space around her is bright and airy, illuminated by soft, natural light streaming in from large windows.",
            "adapter_type": "face",
            "face_id": true
        }
    }
}
```
