What Are AI Graduation Photos?

Graduation photos are the portraits you share with family, post on social media, include in announcements, and frame on the wall. Traditionally, they require renting a cap and gown, booking a photographer, and spending an afternoon posing in front of a backdrop.

Debut skips all of that. Upload a few selfies and the AI generates realistic graduation portraits with a cap, gown, and clean backgrounds. You choose the gown color, background style, and pose. The photos are ready in under 10 minutes.
