Xinglan AI

What is Xinglan AI?

Xinglan AI is an AI-powered product for creating and editing portrait photos, operated by Shanghai Huijing Network Technology Co., Ltd. Users can select templates for professional photos, identification photos, portraits, or group shots; after uploading a photo of the person, the system generates images in the desired style.

The product offers mobile apps and WeChat mini-programs for individuals, while also providing enterprises with APIs and customized solutions for the bulk creation of portraits. It can reduce the costs associated with shooting and changing outfits, but the results it produces cannot replace manual verification of ID photos, proper authorization for the use of portraits, or professional photography.

Main functions

AI professional headshot

• The user selects a profession, clothing style, background, and composition template; after submitting their own photo, a resume photo, a work photo, or a brand avatar is generated.
• The public application guidelines cover a variety of professional and workplace templates, and are suitable for use in job applications, company profiles, instructor pages, agent business cards, and social media avatars.
• AI may change facial details, hairstyles, clothing, or body proportions; official documents should ensure that the photo still accurately represents the individual.

AI ID photos

• The application offers options ranging from 1 inch to 4 inches, with blue, white, and red backgrounds, and provides template designs for various scenarios such as exams, job hunting, certificates, admissions, visas, and driver’s licenses.
• Smart mask technology is used to separate the subject from the background, after which the background color, size, and composition can be adjusted using templates.
• The template name must be approved by the authority responsible for issuing the certificates; before submission, it is necessary to check the pixels, header ratio, background color, attire, timeliness, and any other aesthetic constraints as required by the specific application.

AI-generated photos, wedding dresses, and traditional Chinese style templates

• Photo templates can transform uploaded photos into various portrait styles such as fresh, Korean-style, wedding-themed, urban street photography, vintage, or traditional Chinese style.
• The template is responsible for determining the composition, clothing, makeup, and background elements, producing images suitable for sharing on social media, as commemorative photos, and as creative avatars.
• The generated images may exhibit issues with the hands, jewelry, text, background elements, or the appearance of the people depicted; it is necessary to examine each image in detail by zooming in before downloading it.

Synced templates, custom templates, and AI face swapping

• The synchronization feature is used to create couple photos, group photos of friends, or creative images with characters from templates.
• When no suitable template is available, custom template face fusion can be used to apply the facial features of the authorized person to the desired image.
• Face swapping and photo manipulation require explicit permission from the person whose image is being used, and must not be employed for purposes such as impersonation, fraud, pornography, defamation, or misleading propaganda.

Image editing tools

• Smart background removal allows the original background to be eliminated; it is suitable for changing the background color of ID photos, as well as for processing avatar images used in e-commerce or social media.
• Photo restoration and high-definition zooming are used to improve clarity and details, but they cannot restore real information that was not present in the original image.
• The cropping tool is used to adjust the frame and size; for official ID photos, it is still necessary to use the exact specifications specified by the relevant authority.

Input and output

The public page does not provide clear specifications regarding the number of photos that can be uploaded, the resolution of each photo, the file size, the time required for processing, or the number of results generated per task. When using it for the first time, it is advisable to choose samples with low sensitivity and to conduct tests following the instructions displayed on the interface.

Usage tutorial

1. Install Xinglan AI through official channels, or access the WeChat mini-program and log in using your phone number or a supported third-party account.
2. First, determine whether the image is needed for a professional photo, an ID photo, a portrait, a group shot, or for image restoration, and then select the appropriate template.
3. Read the information regarding coupons, membership benefits, dimensions, and instructions for creation provided in the template; do not rely solely on the preview image to determine the final benefits.
4. Upload a clear photo of yourself with even lighting and no obstructions over the face; obtain explicit permission before using someone else’s portrait.
5. Before submission, confirm whether the order will use a coupon, membership points, or require a separate purchase, and save the payment and task records.
6. After it is generated, check each image one by one for consistency in the facial features, hands, hair, clothing, background, and any abnormal text that may be present.
7. For ID photos, the pixels, background color, size, and formatting rules specified for document issuance are checked; if necessary, cropping or changing the background color is used for adjustments.
8. Before downloading, check whether there is a watermark, the clarity of the file, and its suitability for commercial use; make a separate backup of the original important images.

Supported platforms

The current public version numbers for iOS and Android are different, and their features, templates, membership options, and in-app purchases may also vary. Before using the apps on different platforms, it is necessary to check whether the account privileges are compatible with each other; one cannot assume compatibility just because both apps belong to the same brand.

Member prices, coupon discounts, and in-app purchase prices

The monthly subscription price in RMB is indicated in the application’s official subscription details; the prices in USD are shown in the stores located in the United States, and should not be directly converted into a fixed price in China. Factors such as region, sales channel, promotions, taxes, and account status can all affect the actual amount to be paid.

The fact that the membership template is available for free does not mean that there are no limits on the number of templates that can be generated or downloaded, nor on the use of Pro features or coupon-generation tasks. Before making a purchase, it is necessary to check the details regarding the range of templates available, the number of coupons that can be generated, their validity period, any watermarks, the quality of the output, and how failed tasks are handled.

Rules for automatic renewal and refunds

• With iOS’s automatic monthly subscription, a charge attempt is made 24 hours before the end of the current period; users must disable auto-renewal at least 24 hours in advance through their Apple account’s subscription management settings.
• Disabling automatic renewal only prevents charges from being made in the next cycle; it does not mean that the fees already paid for the current cycle will be refunded automatically.
• Voucher codes are valid only for the account they were issued to; they cannot be transferred, traded, discounted, shared, given as gifts, or sold.
• Wake-up vouchers and membership benefits come with a specified validity period; any loss of these benefits due to failure to use them before the expiration date, misuse of the account, or account cancellation will not be refunded under normal circumstances.
• In principle, the voucher cannot be refunded once the service has been successfully redeemed; moreover, if the resulting outcome does not meet an individual’s aesthetic standards, it cannot serve as a reason for a refund or voucher replacement.
• Refunds are generally not provided for voluntary cancellations, terminations due to violations, gifts, or rewards obtained from promotions. In the event of special issues, it is necessary to save the order details, relevant tasks, and evidence of the problem and contact customer service promptly.

Personnel photos and privacy

• Registration may involve handling phone numbers or the profile pictures and nicknames of third-party accounts; payment and customer service functions deal with orders, payment status, and communication records.
• Permissions such as albums, camera, internet access, and notifications are not enabled by default when authorization is not granted; turning off these permissions may render the uploading or sharing functions unavailable.
• The privacy policy states that uploaded portraits are used solely for the creation of digital avatars and AI portraits; once such creations are made, the uploaded content is automatically deleted and is not used for any other identification purposes or applications.
• The policy also states that facial data is not retained proactively, and it mentions that users can choose to delete it immediately or store it in an encrypted storage area; users should check in the specific version whether this storage option is enabled.
• Personal information is generally stored within China and is retained for the shortest period necessary to provide the services; after that period it is deleted or anonymized, unless statutory retention is required.
• Users can request access, correction, deletion, revocation of authorization, or account cancellation; requests for cancellation are generally addressed within 15 working days.

App Store privacy label

• The iOS App Store label indicates that usage data may be used for tracking across apps and websites.
• Device identifiers, usage data, and crash diagnostics may be collected, but they are not linked to any identity and are used for advertising or other purposes.
• Privacy labels are declared by developers and not verified by the store; the appropriate handling should still be determined based on the product’s privacy policy, system permissions, and actual online behavior.
• Face photos are highly sensitive materials; even if policies permit their removal, original ID cards, documents containing home addresses, or photos of unrelated persons should not be uploaded.

Copyright, portrait rights, and commercial use

• The user retains the rights to the content they enter and create themselves, but the rights to the original photos, portraits, trademarks, and works created by third parties remain with their respective owners.
• Before uploading photos of people other than oneself, such as celebrities, clients, or colleagues, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permission; when posting them publicly, one must also take into account the context of use and the scope of authorization.
• Different users may obtain similar results from similar inputs; the platform does not guarantee that the generated content will be unique or free from similarities to existing works.
• Files downloaded from the platform cannot be used for commercial purposes without permission, and individual members should not be assumed to have authorization to use corporate advertisements.
• Companies should specify in the API or custom contract the aspects related to batch processing, advertising campaigns, template materials, permissions for using certain characters, the scope of use for the generated content, and liability in case of infringement.
• Partial downloads may include product watermarks depending on the member benefits; before purchasing, it is necessary to confirm whether watermark-free versions and high-definition downloads are included in the product.

Corporate APIs and custom services

Xinglan AI offers API interfaces for the bulk creation of identity photos and portrait images, as well as the possibility to customize image styles specific to businesses. At present, there are no public development documents, SDKs, information on pricing per call, or a page for generating self-service keys.

1. The company should specify the expected number of portraits, the output dimensions, the style, the deadline for processing, and whether they are to be used for commercial purposes.
2. Ensure that the company has the authorization to use portraits and process photos of each individual, and establish mechanisms for withdrawing or deleting such content.
3. Contact business support to obtain interface parameters, authentication details, concurrency settings, rules for retrying on failure, callback mechanisms, as well as billing rules.
4. A small number of authorized samples are used in the testing environment to assess identity consistency, deviations, defects, and content security.
5. The contract specifies input deletion, storage of generated content, third-party processing, service levels, copyright, refunds, and withdrawal from the migration process.
6. Protect encryption keys during production integration, restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, keep track of task progress, and provide manual review.

API, SDK, and open-source status

• Enterprise APIs do provide a business entry point, but the public pages do not specify their protocol format, parameters, rates, or which existing SDKs they are compatible with.
• Currently, no official developer SDKs or example projects are available, so it is not possible to assume that compatibility with general image generation interfaces exists.
• No official code repository has been found that demonstrates the open-source nature of the Xinglan AI application, its server side, or its portrait modeling algorithms; therefore, it should be considered a proprietary product.
• An open API merely means that services can be invoked in accordance with the terms of the contract; it does not imply that the model weights, training code, template materials, or datasets are made available under an open-source license.

Suitable for users and scenarios

• Job seekers and professionals: Create resume photos, professional headshots, and profile pictures.
• Users taking exams or applying for certificates: They need to generate certificate photos in accordance with specific requirements, and those photos must be checked for compliance with the specified standards before submission.
• Individual creators: Generate photos of portraits, wedding scenes, in the traditional Chinese style, or group images for commemorative purposes and sharing on social media.
• Brand team: Uses the API specified in the contract to create bulk images of authorized employees or to tailor the brand style.
• Photographers and designers: AI is used to create initial drafts quickly, but manual editing, copyright checks, and client approval are still required.

Advantages and limitations

Main advantages

• Professional photos, ID photos, portraits, group shots, and image editing are all included in a single portrait workflow.
• There is a wide range of templates available, allowing users to start generating content without needing to know how to use prompts or configure local models.
• It covers both personal mobile apps, mini-programs, and enterprise-scale API use cases.

Usage restrictions

• The public page does not provide consistent information regarding the free usage quota, the amount that can be redeemed per transaction, the photo specifications, or compensation in case of failure; the costs must be confirmed at the time of placing an order.
• AI will alter details of characters and backgrounds; ID photos, commercial materials, and scenarios involving sensitive information all require manual verification.
• Memberships, discount coupons, Pro plans, and short-term cards coexist, with prices varying by region, which can lead to confusion regarding benefits and renewal processes.
• The commercial use of the resulting products is subject to the terms of the agreement and the original copyright regulations; purchasing them individually does not automatically grant full commercial rights.
• The enterprise API lacks public documentation; the integration process, costs, and data rules can only be determined through business negotiations.
