Frequently Asked Questions

HeadshotAI is an AI-powered service that transforms your casual selfies into professional, studio-quality headshots in minutes. No photographer, no studio, no hassle.

Simply upload 6-15 photos of yourself, select your preferred style (Business, Corporate, Creative, etc.), and our AI generates 50-200 professional headshots perfect for LinkedIn, resumes, business cards, and more.

Here's how it works:

1. Upload photos: Upload 6-15 selfies from different angles and lighting conditions
2. AI training: Our AI trains a custom model specifically on your facial features
3. Generation: The AI generates professional headshots in your selected styles
4. Download: Receive 50-200 high-resolution headshots in 30 minutes to 2 hours

Yes, you need to create a free account to use HeadshotAI. This allows us to:

• Securely store your uploaded photos
• Train your personalized AI model
• Provide access to your generated headshots
• Send you updates on your order status

Creating an account takes less than a minute and only requires an email address.

Turnaround times vary by plan:

• Starter Plan: ~2 hours
• Professional Plan: ~1 hour
• Executive Plan: ~30 minutes

You'll receive an email notification when your headshots are ready for download.

For best results, upload photos that are:

• Clear and well-lit: Natural or bright indoor lighting
• Variety of angles: Front-facing, slight angles, different expressions
• High resolution: At least 1024x1024 pixels
• Show your face clearly: No sunglasses, hats, or obstructions
• Different backgrounds: Variety helps the AI learn better

Avoid: Blurry photos, extreme angles, low lighting, group photos, or heavily filtered images.

Minimum: 6 photos

Recommended: 10-15 photos

More high-quality photos = better AI training = more accurate headshots. The AI needs variety to understand your facial features from different angles and lighting conditions.

Photos should be relatively recent (within the last 6-12 months) to ensure the headshots accurately represent your current appearance.

If your appearance has changed significantly (hairstyle, facial hair, weight, etc.), using older photos may result in headshots that don't look like you anymore.

Only with explicit written consent.

You may only upload photos of yourself or individuals who have given you written permission to use their photos for AI headshot generation. Uploading photos of others without consent violates our Terms of Service and may violate privacy laws.

Yes! Our AI is trained specifically on your photos to preserve your unique facial features, skin tone, and identity.

However, results depend on photo quality. High-quality, diverse input photos = more accurate headshots. We use advanced identity-preserving AI technology to ensure the generated headshots look authentically like you.
