About Phota Labs
Phota Labs is a research and product company building personal models for visual AI that preserve a subject's identity and context. Their core offering—Phota Studio (mobile app) and Phota API—lets users "reshoot" photos by correcting issues like closed eyes, poor lighting, or awkward expressions without distorting the person's likeness. The API enables developers to integrate identity-preserving image generation into applications for social storytelling, e-commerce, and fashion.
