How it works

  1. Step 1

    Upload a photo of yourself

    Head and shoulders, facing the camera. Covers are shot straight on for a reason — it is the framing that holds an eye at newsstand size.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a cover style

    Each is a different lighting and styling treatment, and each runs on its own.

  3. Step 3

    Add the masthead yourself

    The results come without text. Set the title and cover lines in your own editor, where the type will actually be legible.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a magazine cover from my photo?
Upload a head-and-shoulders photo and choose a cover style. The AI relights and restyles it as an editorial portrait in about a minute.
Does it add the magazine name and cover lines?
No. Image models render text as garbled pseudo-words, so the results come clean and you set the type in your own editor.
Can I make it look like a specific magazine?
No, and that is not a limitation we plan to remove. Real mastheads are trademarks, and a convincing fake cover of an actual magazine is a different thing from a stylish portrait. The styles here are editorial looks, not imitations of anyone's publication.
What photo works best?
Even light on the face, a plain-ish background, and looking into the lens. Heavy shadows and busy backgrounds both fight the relighting.
Whose photo may I upload?
Your own, or someone's who has given you permission. Uploading a photo of a person who has not consented is not allowed under our acceptable use policy.
What does it cost?
Each generation comes off your Reelina credit balance and the exact cost is shown before you press Generate. One balance covers every model in the workspace.
Is it free?
No — Reelina runs on paid credits. We show what a generation costs before you run it rather than advertising a free tier we do not have.
What happens to my photo?
It is used only to make your result. Creations are private by default, and everything is deleted seven days after it is generated.
