I would like to find a free AI to remove sunglasses from still photos

ChatGPT said:

For removing sunglasses from still photos using AI, you can try using a free AI-based tool like Remove.bg or Fotor. These platforms typically focus on background removal, but they may offer some functionality for modifying or enhancing photos, including the potential to alter certain objects like sunglasses. However, to specifically target sunglasses removal, you might need to manually adjust the image after the AI process.

Alternatively, if you're comfortable with some programming, DeepAI offers an image inpainting API that could be useful for filling in areas where the sunglasses are. You would simply need to mask the sunglasses in the photo, and the AI would attempt to reconstruct the area.

If you need a more specialized tool, you may want to look for research-based AI tools or models specifically trained for facial image manipulation, such as those in the Deep Learning or Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) fields. Some open-source models like DeepFaceLab can be adapted for these purposes, though they may require more technical expertise.

I want to remove the sunglasses but retain the face and eyes, I had used faceapp on my mobile with good results but I think the face seems different

If you want to remove sunglasses while retaining the face and eyes, and you're looking for something similar to FaceApp but without altering the face too much, here are a couple of approaches you can try:

1. DeepAI Image Inpainting API

This is an AI model that can be used to remove objects (like sunglasses) from photos while filling in the missing area. You would need to mask the sunglasses, and the AI will try to reconstruct the background (including the eyes and face) based on the surrounding context. This method gives more control over the final result, as you can define the region for inpainting.

2. RunwayML

RunwayML is a platform that offers various AI-powered tools, including face manipulation and object removal. You can use its inpainting tool or face modification tools to remove sunglasses from photos without changing the rest of the face drastically. It’s more user-friendly and has a free tier for limited use.

3. Artbreeder (Face Modification)

Artbreeder allows you to blend and modify facial features with an AI. While it's not focused on sunglasses removal, it provides an easy way to tweak images and keep the face intact. You can upload your image and make minor adjustments to the features to get a more natural look after removing sunglasses.

4. Photoshop (Content-Aware Fill)

If you're looking for a more hands-on approach and don't mind using a more traditional tool, Adobe Photoshop has a Content-Aware Fill feature that works well for removing sunglasses. It automatically fills in the areas where sunglasses were, preserving the face and eyes as much as possible. Photoshop isn’t free, but there’s a free trial.

5. FaceSwap

An open-source software that uses deep learning to swap faces and manipulate facial images. It might be useful if you want to tweak the face without drastically changing it. While it’s typically used for face swapping, the inpainting feature could potentially be used to remove sunglasses as well.

Each of these methods has its pros and cons. DeepAI and RunwayML provide a direct way to remove sunglasses with minimal alteration, while Photoshop can give you full control with manual editing. If you're happy with FaceApp but are concerned about the face looking different, you might want to try RunwayML or Artbreeder for more subtle adjustments.

Will i get daily free credit for runwayml?

ChatGPT said:

Yes, RunwayML offers a free tier, but the daily credit is limited. When you sign up for a free account, you get a certain number of credits that you can use for processing images, videos, and AI tasks. The credits are not replenished daily for free accounts, but you'll get a set number of credits when you first create your account and can use them across different tasks.

For more extensive use, such as for larger or more frequent projects, you would need to upgrade to one of their paid plans. However, the free tier does provide enough credits for occasional use or smaller tasks, especially if you only need to remove sunglasses from photos now and then.

If you're planning to use the service regularly, you may want to keep track of your credit usage and consider subscribing to one of the paid tiers to get more credits and access to additional features.
