€0.04 a pro photo.
Forever.
You download the source code. You host it on your own Vercel. You own the tool. No subscription, no quota, no paywall. Klayn charges you €200/month to do the same thing — with me it's €39, paid once.
No subscription · lifetime updates
Not a CLI script.
A real app, pro design, ready to use.
The interface, the colors, the wording — it's all finished. You can open the repo and test it in 5 minutes. Here's what the 2 key pages of the tool look like.
You start a session in 3 clicks
Fiesta hero, results showcase, 3 guided steps (Identity → Scene → Shots). No manual needed — the app holds your hand.
Your 3 API keys, validated green
A "3 keys" diagram, one card per service with a "Test the connection" button, Vercel/local walkthrough. Zero .env editing on the command line.
Everything's already wired up. Stripe to sell, Vercel to host, fal.ai to generate, OpenRouter to brief. You paste 3 keys, the app tells you it's good in green, you generate.
From 4 iPhone selfies
to 10 pro photos.
One session, one face, ten contexts. LinkedIn, podcast, lifestyle, editorial — you pick the setting, the AI does the rest.
4 iPhone selfies
10+ pro photos per session
Same face, several contexts. You choose the setting, the tone, the lighting. The AI reproduces your face exactly. €0.04 a photo (on Seedream, the default model), versus €50 with a corporate photographer.
One face, eight uses.
All generated in 1 session.
You no longer need to plan 4 photo shoots a year for LinkedIn, the press, talks and lifestyle. One single session = 8 different contexts, redoable whenever you want.
Corporate office
Profile photo, header, work posts. Warm light, sharp framing, credible tone.
On stage
Conference announcement, bio slide, "lessons learned" post. The expert taking the mic, without renting the venue.
Rooftop sunset
Stories, Instagram posts, lifestyle content. Warm golden-hour light, entrepreneur vibe.
Tower, high floor
"About" hero, press release, investor pitch. Signals a "company that scales" without needing the actual office.
Café / bookshelf
Blog visuals, newsletter, "behind the scenes" posts. Soft light, warm tone.
Studio portrait
The photo that stays on your profile for 5 years. Black and white, direct gaze, zero passing trend.
Coffee by the window
A "morning routine" LinkedIn post, an online-course hero, a personal blog illustration. Casual and owning it, without dropping into hoodie territory.
Café bookshelf
Podcast cover, warm "about" header, author photo on a blog. The approachable intellectual.

Turnkey Settings page
You never touch a .env.local in a code editor again. You paste your 3 API keys into Vercel, you open /settings, and the app tells you in green that everything's wired up. A free "Test the connection" button for fal.ai and OpenRouter, a cost calculator, an adaptive Vercel/local walkthrough, a built-in FAQ.
Not a dev?
You'll manage anyway.
The funnel is designed so you never have to open a config file. Stripe → Vercel → 3 API keys pasted into the UI. If the app says green, it works.
You pay on Stripe
Credit card, 2 minutes. You get the ZIP + the invite to the private GitHub repo by email right after.
You deploy on Vercel
Hit "Import" on Vercel, point it at your repo (or drop the ZIP in), click deploy. Free Hobby plan, no file to edit.
You paste 3 keys in Settings
FAL_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, ADMIN_TOKEN in the Vercel dashboard. You reopen /settings in the app, you click "Test the connection." Green → you generate your first photo.
It all works.

Klayn, a photographer,
or our tool?
Here's the deal: as long as you generate once every 5 years for one person, pay a photographer. The moment you redo shoots, or you kit out 2 people or more, the math gets absurd.
| Klayn · AI SaaS | Corporate photographer | Our tool · €39 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront price | Free (then €200/month) | €500 · 1 shoot | €39 once |
| Recurring cost | €200/month forever | Redo every 1-2 years | Zero subscription |
| Unlimited photos / month | Depends on plan | No · fixed package | Unlimited (€0.04 a photo, variable fal.ai) |
| Multi-user (team) | 1 plan = 1 face | Multiplies the price per head | Unlimited · 1 instance for the whole team |
| Full customization | Closed templates | Depends on the photographer | Source code is yours · you change everything |
| Evolving over time | You depend on their roadmap | Photo frozen at that date | fal.ai models updated · you keep pace |
| Support | Email · queue | The guy's WhatsApp | Private GitHub + updates + 7-day guarantee |

The 4 traps
of a subscription image SaaS.
Klayn is technically very good. But the business model is designed to keep you captive. Here's what you're really paying for when you sign up for a €200/month subscription.
The forever subscription
€200/month for 3 years = €7,200. That's 72× the price of this tool. And the bill keeps running as long as you pay. No "one-time purchase" option, no team volume pricing.
The dependency
Klayn shuts down, pivots, or gets acquired? Your data goes with it. Your models trained on your face, your generated photos, your history — all of it. With the source code at your place, it's forever, independent of me.
Vendor lock-in
You change your look (beard, glasses, haircut)? Klayn = a new paid training, sometimes a new plan. With us = 4 new selfies to upload, that's it. You're never stuck in a frozen state.
The paywall on new models
Seedream 5, FLUX 3, Nano Banana 3 come out? Klayn = new plan, new price. With us = 1 commit in the repo, free, I push it for you (or you wire it in yourself in 5 min). The innovation reaches you, without paying again.
1, 5 or 10 people.
The math always hurts the subscriptions.
Average 2026 rates: Klayn €200/month, corporate photo shoot €500/person, team shoot €2,000-3,000. Our tool €39 + roughly €10-25 of AI credits a year. Do the math.

Assumption: 10 photos per person per year. Beyond that, the variable fal.ai cost stays at €0.04/photo — it's linear and you control it.
For the devs who want
to know what they're buying.
A modern, clean stack, no proprietary lock-in. You can swap out every brick if you want — it's open.

Your own API keys.
You pay per shot.
No hidden subscription, no SaaS that can vanish. You pay for the image models directly, on usage, a few cents a photo.
fal.ai key
Around €20 for 100 photos. Sign up in 2 min on fal.ai. You top up your account, you draw down as you use it.
OpenRouter key
Around €1 for 50 sessions. It's used to call Gemini Pro, which breaks your scene down into 5 shots. Claude Sonnet fallback if Gemini fails.
Vercel hosting
Free on the Hobby plan. For personal use or a small team, you'll never have to pay Vercel. You can also run it locally if you want.
What you're telling yourself
as you read this page.
Four real objections I've heard. No spin, no "it depends." Straight answers.
You can always tell it's AI.
Not anymore in 2026. The black and white portrait below has been on my LinkedIn for 3 months, and nobody noticed. The second one is one of my teammates, generated in the same session. The test: show them to 10 people and count how many spot the AI.
I'm not a dev, I'll struggle.
The funnel is: Stripe (payment) → Vercel (1-click Import) → the /settings page where you paste 3 API keys. You never open a file. If the app shows green, it works. And if you get stuck, 7-day guarantee, no questions asked (see the guarantee below).
There's no support, I'll be on my own.
You get: (1) the invite to the private GitHub repo, so you see my commits and can open an issue · (2) app updates included for life · (3) a 7-day money-back guarantee if it fails on startup. Plus my direct email in CC in the delivery pack.
I want a real photographer, it's better.
It's complementary, not competing. Keep your photographer for the signature photo of the year. But for the 10 different sets (LinkedIn, podcast, story, editorial, team…) that you'll want to redo 3 times a year, you grab your iPhone instead of paying €5,000 a year.
Three profiles,
one same return on investment.
Not for everyone. Here are the three cases where the math is ridiculous, and where my tool really changes the unit economics of your personal branding, or your team's.
The solo who's fed up
with their washed-out photos
Freelancer, solo consultant, content creator. You redo your LinkedIn header every 6 months, and you don't want to pay Klayn €200/month until retirement. With the tool: 4 selfies, 30 minutes, a fresh photo. And you start over whenever you want, free.
The 5-10 person team
to kit out
You run a company and want a consistent visual brand on LinkedIn for your 5-10 teammates. No more photographer logistics (impossible scheduling, photographer out sick on the day, retouches that drag on). €39 for the whole team, forever.
The agency that resells
personal branding
Comms agency, social media studio, LinkedIn ghostwriter. Do you bill PB to your clients? €39 once, 100% margin on every client delivery. You sell the AI photo set for €500, you break even on the 2nd client. From the 3rd on, it's free money.
7-day money-back guarantee · no questions asked
You get the code, you test it. If after 7 days it doesn't work at your place or doesn't suit you, you write to me at jeremy.sagnier@jerwis.fr, and I refund the €39 within 24h. No questions, no form, no fluff. My goal is for you to be happy, not to collect complaints.

5 questions people ask me
before buying.
Straight answers, no spin. If another question is nagging you, write to me at jeremy.sagnier@jerwis.fr before buying.
How long does it take to set everything up?
/settings, click "Test the connection", green → you generate. No code editor to open, no command line to type.
And if I'm not a dev?
.env file to open. Vercel has a 1-click "Deploy" button from any repo. If you can use GitHub and copy-paste, you can do it. 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
How many photos can I generate?
Are updates included?
git pull and it's in place. No "v2 = pay €39 again." The ZIP is frozen at your purchase date, the repo keeps living.
Money-back guarantee?
jeremy.sagnier@jerwis.fr, and I refund the €39 within 24h. No form, no questions. My goal is your satisfaction, not a retention metric.
€39.
Once.
Yours.
You pay, you get the ZIP + the GitHub invite by email within 2 minutes. Full money-back guarantee. Zero subscription, zero nasty surprise.
