Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 4.3M in November 2024 to a high of 8.9M in December 2024, and stand at 4.1M in October 2026. Five sites take 100% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai portrait generator” is searched about 22,200 times a month worldwide, 11% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai portrait generator” until November 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in December 2022. Americans make 11% of the searches but only 6.5% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and Germany.

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The losers, led by YouCam Perfect, lost most of their search visits (-62%).

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Kaze AI’s +114% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in November 2026

4,095,029 visits

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is PicWish, with 2 million visits a month, 49% of all visits.

PicWish and YouCam Perfect together hold 77% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 2 sites share 0%.

Miles explains

PicWish alone has 49% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
