Where we checked
What you should know before signing up from abroad
PhotoAI is a fully browser-based AI photo generator. You upload about 20 selfies, it trains a private model of you, and you generate portraits and short videos in any style. Because everything runs in the browser, your physical location does not matter — we created accounts and generated photos from Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and South Africa with no geo-block and no VPN.
The honest drawback is billing. PhotoAI is an auto-renewing subscription starting around $19/month, and reviewers report it can be sticky to cancel — some users say charges continued after they tried to stop, and disputes had to go through Stripe. Cancel inside the app before your renewal date and keep the receipt. Credits and free-photo allowances also vary by plan, so read what your tier actually includes.
Payment is wide open. Stripe checkout takes US Visa, Mastercard and Amex as well as non-US cards and regional methods like iDeal, GrabPay and AliPay, so expats paying with a local card abroad are fine. Pricing is in USD, so a foreign-card holder may see a small currency-conversion fee from their bank.
