1930s Shanghai Portraits

20 portraits across 10 Shanghai 1930s looks: 14 photographic portraits, four anime illustrations and two illustrated avatars. Each look has two compositions. Women and Men select clothing and period hairstyles; your photo determines the person.

Results vary widely. Some users get 10 out of 20 portraits that look like them while others may get only 1–2. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee how many will feel like you because AI is an evolving technology.

We price with this uncertainty in mind. For the cost of a specialty Starbucks drink, you can reimagine yourself and explore new looks from home without dressing up or booking a photoshoot, with images appearing in about 10–30 seconds each.

We started Hotpot to make users happy. Every image costs money to create, even if the image fails to look like you. While we can’t promise refunds all the time, if you’re unhappy, please contact us. We’ll review what happened and look for a fair solution.

If a request fails, the pack stops and completed portraits remain available.

Hotpot does not use your photos to train AI. Your source photo is used during creation and isn’t saved to your account. Delete saved portraits anytime from Drive. See our terms for provider processing and retention.
