MiniFo
MiniFo by Cappsule Technologies
Your photo, as a chibi. Mini-me. A cute chibi mini-me from whatever you point at — yourself, your cat, the neighbourhood crow. Anime-webtoon style, zero training on your photos.
Pick a photo. Tap Shrink Me Down. The AI returns a cute chibi mini-me of your subject — then drag, scale and rotate it onto any wallpaper. Export as a PNG — or, with Pro, as a sticker.

§ 01 — How it works
Three taps.
No prompts to craft, no dials to set. Pick a subject, let the AI shrink it, drop it on a wallpaper. Done.
01
Pick a photo.
Straight from your camera or library. Vision detects the subject — person, pet, bird, whatever — and isolates a clean silhouette.
02
Shrink it down.
One tap sends it to Google's Gemini image model, which returns a stylised chibi mini-me, usually in under a minute. Progress lives in the Dynamic Island, so you can leave the app. We don't keep the source.
03
Place & share.
Drag, scale and rotate the mini onto any background, then export the full scene as a PNG. With Pro, drop the character in as a sticker or fire the scene straight to Instagram Stories.
§ 02 — In the wild
Three screens.
The core loop: generate, edit, look back. Everything syncs to your own iCloud — we can't read it.

§ 03 — Sample minis
Six shrinkings.
A taste of what the model returns. Style holds steady across species, poses and lighting — warm, slightly papery, a little dreamy.
§ 04 — Pricing
Free to try.
Start with one free shrinking — plus a free do-over if the first one misses. Go Pro for 200 a month, HD exports and no watermark. Credit packs cover months you spill over.

§ 05 — Built for
Small details, chosen carefully.
Native SwiftUI, Apple's Vision framework for subject masks, CloudKit for private sync, Live Activities for in-flight progress. The AI layer is the only cloud round-trip.
Private by default.
Source photos aren't retained after generation. No AI training. No ad SDKs. No cross-app tracking.
iCloud sync.
Your history lives in your private CloudKit database — automatically on every device you sign into, never visible to us.
Vision subject mask.
Apple's on-device Vision framework lifts a clean silhouette before anything leaves your phone — even with messy backgrounds.
Moderation that reads.
Google Cloud Vision SafeSearch and Gemini safety filters screen every submission. Violations reject cleanly, without eating your quota.
Live progress.
A Live Activity parks in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen while your mini renders — leave the app, come back when it's ready.
Sign in with Apple.
Mandatory at onboarding — but we ask Apple for zero scopes, so your name and email never reach us. Your account is an opaque identifier, nothing more.
§ 06 — Small print
The usual questions.
What you'd ask first. If we missed something, drop us a line.
Do you keep my photos?
No. Source photos are sent to the generation pipeline and discarded as soon as the mini returns. The output is saved to your own iCloud database, which we can't read — plus a copy kept on our servers for up to an hour, so a crash mid-generation doesn't lose your mini.
Are photos used to train models?
No. Neither we nor our processors (Google Gemini, Cloud Vision) use your photos to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of processors.
Can I use minis commercially?
Personal use is always fine. Commercial use requires a Pro subscription and compliance with Google's Generative AI usage policies. Full terms in the Terms.
How many free minis do I get?
One — a single generation to try the app, one-time rather than monthly. If it comes out wrong, you get one free do-over ("Try another version") on us. After that, Pro covers 200 a month, or a credit pack tops you up.
What about the watermark?
Free tier exports a "Made with MiniFo" mark on composited scenes. The character itself exports clean. Pro removes the watermark on everything.
How do I delete my account?
In-app: Settings → Account → Delete Account. Removes your server-side data, revokes your Firebase sign-in, and wipes your local mini history from all your iCloud-synced devices.
Why does the AI sometimes refuse?
SafeSearch and Gemini safety filters reject content our policies don't allow (see ToS §2). Rejected submissions don't count against your quota.
Why Sign in with Apple?
It keeps your quota, subscription and iCloud-synced history tied to a single identity across devices — without asking for your email or name. We request zero scopes, so Apple only hands us an opaque identifier.
