What Is Shakker AI? A Quick Overview

Shakker.ai is an AI image generation platform powered by Stable Diffusion, specifically optimized for Asian users. Unlike Midjourney or DALL-E, Shakker AI offers a system of Checkpoints and Lora (Low-Rank Adaptation) that lets you train AI to recognize your face and personal style.

Feature	Shakker AI	Midjourney	DALL-E 3
Personal portrait generation	Yes (with Lora training)	No	Limited
Custom model training	Yes	No	No
Vietnamese interface	Yes	No	No
Free access	Yes (limited)	No	Yes (limited)
Suitability for Asian portraits	Optimized	Average	Average

Prepare a High-Quality Image Dataset

To ensure the sharpest, most realistic AI-generated images, prepare a dataset containing 5-30 portrait photos and 2-3 full-body photos. Based on my personal experience, I recommend:

Minimum quantity: 10 high-quality portrait photos (20-30 photos recommended for the best results)
Varied angles: Front-facing, 3/4 profile, left profile, right profile
Varied expressions: Smiling, serious, surprised, thoughtful
Good lighting: Avoid photos that are too dark or backlit
Simple backgrounds: White or solid-color backgrounds help the AI recognize your face more accurately

Important note: The higher the image quality, the more accurate the AI-generated results. Photos should have a minimum resolution of 512x512 pixels.

Choose the Right Checkpoint and Lora

Recommended Checkpoint for Vietnamese Users

Recommended Checkpoint: ASIAN ULTRA REALISTIC_MDNguyen. This model is specifically trained on Asian faces and optimized for Vietnamese users. You can get started right away at this link: ASIAN ULTRA REALISTIC_MDNguyen

How to Choose an Effective Lora

Decide on your desired image style, then save the Lora to your favorites or click “Runmode” to start generating images immediately. Shakker.ai offers thousands of ready-to-use Lora models in its library, ranging from anime and realistic to artistic styles.

Personalize Your Style with Lora

Lora for clothing/style: Use these Lora models to create outfits or styles that suit your personality — from office suits to streetwear, from vintage to futuristic
Lora for preserving facial features: If you want to retain your distinctive facial features, choose pretrained Lora models, such as Lora Hương
Lora for backgrounds: Create studio, outdoor, or fantasy backgrounds

Use an Existing Lora or Train Your Own

You can use the Lora models in MDNguyen’s library right away or train your own to suit your needs. Shakker.ai offers 2 options:

Free training: Suitable for beginners, takes about 30-60 minutes
Advanced training: Produces more detailed results, takes 2-4 hours

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Shakker AI Free?

Yes, Shakker AI offers a free plan with approximately 50 images/month. However, free images have watermarks, and you have to wait in a queue. The Starter plan (~$9/month) lets you generate 500 watermark-free images at faster speeds.

What Are the Usage Rights for Images Created with Shakker AI?

Images from the free plan are for personal use only. The Pro and Business plans provide commercial licenses, allowing you to use the images for business, sales, or social media posts.

How Many Photos Do You Need to Train a Lora?

At least 5 photos, but 20-30 high-quality photos with varied angles and expressions are recommended. The more high-quality photos you provide, the more accurate the results.

Is Shakker AI or Midjourney Better?

It depends on your purpose: Shakker AI is optimized for Asian portraits and lets you train custom models. Midjourney excels at artwork and landscapes. If you need personalized profile photos, Shakker AI is the better choice.

How Can You Make Shakker AI Images Look Natural?

Use a facial Lora weight of 0.6-0.8 (avoid setting it to 1.0, as this can make the results look too rigid). Choose a realistic checkpoint rather than an anime one. Add the negative prompt: “deformed, ugly, blurry, low quality” to filter out flawed images.

Conclusion

Shakker AI is a powerful tool for creating personalized AI profile photos, particularly well suited to Vietnamese users. With its flexible Checkpoint and Lora system, you can create professional portraits without a photographer or studio. Start with the free plan to try it out, then upgrade when you need to use it regularly.
