AI Picasso
Stable Diffusion based AI image and avatar app that ceased service on 4 August 2025.
What is AI Picasso?
AI Picasso was a mobile AI image generation app from the Japanese company AI Picasso Inc. that turned text prompts into illustrations using Stable Diffusion, and created personalised avatars from a set of user photos. It also offered LINE sticker creation, AI profile pictures, pet transformations and makeup effects. The official site is now a service-discontinuation notice: the app ceased operation on 4 August 2025, with refund instructions directing users to the Apple App Store and Google Play. The company page still points businesses to its image generation AI work and collaborative research.

- It offered free image generation alongside paid features, lowering the barrier to trying it.
Limitations
- The service has been fully discontinued as of 4 August 2025 and is no longer usable.
- It was a mobile only product with no standalone web app, so usage required iOS or Android.
- Reviews noted fewer art styles and weaker prompt understanding than competing generators.
