About Living Portraits
Private by design
Living Portraits runs on our secure infrastructure with files stored in a private S3 bucket. Enhanced images are only accessible to the owner (you) via time-limited signed URLs.
How it works
- You upload a portrait or family photo using a secure, expiring URL.
- Our backend processes the image through OpenAI image variations and delivers a refreshed portrait.
- The result is saved to a private key, scoped by your account.
- You can preview and download, or keep it in your family archive.
Respect for memories
We aim for gentle movement — not reimagining or altering identity — so the results feel respectful and sentimental.
