Turn your photos and ideas into real art — shaped by you, kept completely private. ProFuse combines powerful generative AI with a real editing workflow to help you create original artwork — right on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Unlike one-click AI generators, ProFuse keeps you in control of every result, with unlimited, free generations from the moment you open the app. ProFuse is private by design. Every photo, prompt, and finished piece is generated entirely on your device — nothing is ever uploaded to a server, stored in the cloud, or used to train AI models. No account and no internet connection are required to create. ◆ Image-to-Image Start from a photo you already love — a favorite portrait, a family moment, or a memory from a recent trip. ProFuse transforms it into a piece of art while preserving its character and composition, with more than 80 curated styles — spanning artistic traditions and photography — to choose from. ◆ Text-to-Image Start from a blank page. Describe a scene in words and watch it come to life — perfect for sparking an idea from scratch, exploring a concept, or finding inspiration. ◆ Real Creative Control Most AI art apps make you gamble on a prompt and hope. ProFuse couples diffusion stylization with a real editing workflow: separate content and style prompts, tools to control the seed, and paint-on content and style refinement tools keep you in control the whole way — turning one-shot generation into a real creative process. ◆ Authentic Artistic Styles Explore dozens of curated styles rooted in established artistic traditions — from oil painting and watercolor to pastel, drawing, and contemporary art. Every style prompt is fully transparent, so you can see and learn how each look is built. For complete creative freedom, go beyond the included styles and create your own from custom prompts or personal reference images, then save them to use again. ◆ Inspiration, Right on Your Home Screen ProFuse comes with a set of built-in projects to spark your next creation. Browse inspirations in the app or from a Home Screen widget — tap one and it opens directly in ProFuse, so you can see how it was made, get inspired, or make it your own. Download ProFuse for free and start creating art that's entirely your own. ◆ Key Features • Text-to-image and image-to-image generation, entirely on-device • Unlimited, free generations — no credits, no subscriptions required • 80+ curated styles rooted in artistic traditions and modern photography • Separate content and style prompts for precise creative direction • Content refinement — paint to fix flaws or reshape a scene • Style refinement — paint with your finger or Apple Pencil to control how strongly a style is applied, area by area • Seed control for reproducible compositions across different styles • Custom styles — create and save your own looks • Transparent style prompts — see and learn how each look is built • Built-in Inspiration projects, accessible from a Home Screen widget • Siri AI integration — create or open art with just your voice • 100% private — nothing ever leaves your device • Optimized for OS 27 — Liquid Glass design, resizable iPhone app ◆ ProFuse Premium To unlock ProFuse's full creative power, we offer weekly, monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your credit card through your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal in Apple account settings or cancel your subscription at least 24 hours prior to the end of the subscription period. ◆ Support Questions or feedback?
