Miles explains

Here’s how I read these two lines. They don’t show how many people search, only when interest rose and fell. Worldwide, it peaked in July 2023 and sits at 10 now, lower than a year ago. In the US it’s lower than a year ago, and the Google Ads numbers below tell the same story. When you see a sharp spike, think news story, not new customers. The baseline between the spikes is the demand I actually care about.

This is the number I’d plan with: September 2026 had 9,900 US searches, 64% fewer than in October 2025. Google Ads rounds these figures into steps, so a small move from one month to the next usually means nothing.

The biggest related search is “ai portrait generator”, at 22,200 searches a month worldwide. Rising fastest next to it on Google Trends: “eltima ai headshot generator”, “evoto ai headshot generator” and “best ai headshot generator”. A sudden riser is usually news, not lasting demand.
