AI Profile Photo Generator

Give River includes a built-in photo editor that you use when setting or updating your profile picture. The editor lets you crop, filter, and adjust images before they are saved to your profile.

Accessing the Photo Editor

The photo editor opens automatically whenever you choose to update your profile picture:

  1. Go to My Profile and tap the pencil edit icon, or go to Settings > My Account > Edit Profile.
  2. Tap your current avatar or the "Edit profile picture" text.
  3. A bottom sheet appears with two options:
    • Take Photo — opens your device camera to capture a new photo
    • Choose from Gallery — opens your device photo library to pick an existing image
  4. Select an image. The photo editor opens immediately.

Using the Photo Editor

Inside the photo editor you can:

  • Crop and reframe the image to focus on your face or preferred framing
  • Apply filters to adjust the look and feel of the photo
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, and other properties using the editing tools in the toolbar
  • Add stickers or text overlays if available via the editor toolbar

Once you are happy with the result, tap the confirm or save button. Your profile image uploads automatically and your profile refreshes to show the new photo.

Uploading Without Editing

If you do not want to make any edits, you can confirm the image as-is in the editor to upload it directly.

Device camera Captures a new photo in real time

After Uploading

Your new profile photo appears immediately everywhere your avatar is shown across Give River — on posts, in chat, on your profile card, and in leaderboards.

Note on AI-Generated Photos

A fully automated AI image generation feature (where the app creates a profile photo for you without any source image) is not confirmed in the current app build. The photo editor found in the codebase (photo_edit_screen.dart) is a comprehensive manual editor. If AI image generation becomes available, this article will be updated.
