What professional headshots look like from a selfie set
Every order produces four things: the same face, several expressions, backdrop options and crops that survive being shrunk to a 96-pixel avatar. The Sample Pack delivers one backdrop and five frames; the larger packages add more outfits, backdrops and volume.
How it works
From selfie to professional headshot in three steps
The whole job is roughly five minutes of your time and two to four minutes of machine time. There is no calendar booking, no call sheet, no waiting for a photographer to send a gallery link three days later.
- 1
Upload 3–8 selfies
Front-facing, good light, no sunglasses or hats. One straight-on frame plus two slightly turned frames and one smile is enough for a strong set.
Quality gate rejects blurry, tilted or multi-person photos before any generation runs.

Pick a style and package
Corporate, creative, actor, medical or real estate presets, each with its own backdrop, wardrobe and lighting profile. Start with the $9 Sample Pack (5 images), then choose 40, 60 or 100.
You see the price before paying: $9 / $35 / $45 / $75, one-time.

Pay, then download
Generation starts once the order is paid. Watch live progress, then download individual files or the whole ZIP. One free redo within 48 hours if the first set misses.
Files stay available in your order for 30 days; originals are deleted on the same schedule.
Styles
Style presets built for actual job titles
Generic “AI portrait” styles break down when the photo has to work on a hospital directory or a real estate yard sign. Each preset below fixes the backdrop, wardrobe, light direction and crop instead of leaving them to a text prompt.
| Style preset | What it looks like | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn / Corporate | Studio-grey or soft-office backdrops, dark blazer or button-down, shoulders square to camera and a relaxed closed-mouth smile. | LinkedIn profiles, company directories, conference bios, résumés. |
| Creative | Warmer rim light, textured wall or window light, knitwear and softer expression — professional but unmistakably human. | Designers, marketers, founders, freelance profiles and speaker pages. |
| Actor / Casting | Neutral seamless background, natural skin texture, minimal styling and three framing options: commercial, theatrical and head-and-shoulders. | Casting submissions, agency rosters, IMDb and Spotlight-adjacent profiles. |
| Medical / Clinic | White coat or clean clinical attire, bright low-shadow light, calm neutral background — reads as competent and approachable. | Hospital team pages, clinic sites, Healthgrades-style listings, insurance directories. |
| Real Estate | Confident posture, business casual or blazer, softly blurred interior or skyline behind you — built for small avatars and yard signs. | Realtor bios, Zillow and brokerage pages, business cards, bus-bench ads. |
Pricing
Professional headshot pricing, no subscription
Four packages, identical pipeline, different volume — and no free tier. The $9 Sample Pack is the cheapest way to see the pipeline on your own face; the 60-image package is what most people buy once the sample works, because it gives you enough expressions to swap your profile photo seasonally without repeating.

Why ours
Redo policy, face privacy and honest pricing
Most complaints about AI headshots are about two things: the result not looking like the person, and unclear data handling. Both are policy problems before they are model problems, so we wrote the policy first.
One free redo, no argument
If the first set misses, request a redo within 48 hours and we regenerate with adjusted guidance — free, once per order.
Faces are never used for training
Uploads are used only to render your order. Originals are deleted after 30 days, and we never sell, publish or model-train on your photos.
One-time payment, from $9
No subscription, no credits that expire, no surprise renewal. The $9 Sample Pack (5 images) is the entry point; larger packages are a single payment too.
No unpaid tier, on purpose
We do not sell your photos to advertisers and we do not fund unpaid generations with ads or data. Every order is paid before generation, which is why the pipeline is not watermarked and your uploads stay private.
Written refund policy
If we cannot produce a usable set and the redo does not fix it, you get your money back under the published refund terms.
What “identity preservation” means here
Generation runs in two stages. First, an identity-conditioned diffusion model renders the portrait from your photo and the chosen preset. Second, a face-comparison pass merges your original facial features back into the generated frame. The second stage is what keeps a set from drifting into a generic stock person after the tenth image — a failure mode you can spot immediately in competing tools.
We do not train on customer photos. Uploads are used for your order only, are never published, and are deleted from storage after 30 days. You can ask for earlier deletion any time from your order email.
Use cases
What people actually order
The same pipeline serves very different jobs. These pages go deeper on framing, sizing and expectations for each one.
Details
Professional headshots, explained without the marketing
A professional headshot is not defined by who took it. It is defined by three things the viewer can check in under a second: the framing is consistent with the channel, the light falls evenly across the face, and the wardrobe reads as the role the person wants. A studio shoot gets those right by controlling the room; an AI headshot generator gets them right by controlling the rendering.
Our generator — the pipeline documented on the AI headshot generator page — is not a filter. A filter takes one photo and edits it; a generator builds a new photograph from your identity, a style preset and a text prompt. That difference matters when you need forty usable professional headshots: a filter gives you forty variations of the same frame, while a generator gives you forty different frames of the same person.
The trade-off is that generation can drift. Diffusion models are very good at producing plausible faces and less good at preserving the specific face you gave them. This is why single-model tools often return images that look excellent in isolation but wrong in context — the eyes are slightly off, the jawline is narrower, the skin tone has shifted. Our pipeline addresses it in the second stage described above, and the free redo exists precisely because no automated identity check is perfect.
Practical advice for better input: use a phone camera at chest height, stand near a window, take five photos across two minutes so the light does not change, and keep your expression neutral in at least three of them. Avoid sunglasses, hats with brims, heavy filters and group photos. The quality gate will reject the worst inputs before spending anything on them, but good inputs also produce better variety.
What you get is a set — not one hero image. Most customers keep two or three professional headshots in rotation: a formal version for LinkedIn and company pages, a slightly warmer one for speaker bios, and a neutral one for résumés and visa-style applications where a plain background is expected.

FAQ
Professional headshot questions people ask before ordering
Do I have to pay before I see any headshots?
Yes. Payment comes first — every set is generated after payment, with no unpaid sample render. The cheapest order is the $9 Sample Pack: five real headshots, no watermark, commercial licence and one free redo. We charge from the first image because every generation costs real GPU time and because we do not fund unpaid runs with ads or by selling photo data.
What do I get in the $9 Sample Pack?
Five headshots in one style and one background, delivered at 1024px with no watermark, a commercial licence and one free redo within 48 hours. It runs the same quality gate, identity pass and face-merge stage as the larger packages — only the image count is smaller.
How many selfies do I need to upload?
Three is the minimum, five is what we recommend: one front-facing frame, one turned slightly left, one slightly right, one with a natural smile, and one shot in different lighting. More variety helps the model separate your identity from a single camera angle.
How long does it take to get my headshots?
A 5-image Sample Pack finishes in well under a minute of generation time; 40-photo orders take about two minutes and 100-photo orders closer to four. The page updates live while your set is rendering, and you can download individual images or a single ZIP when it is done.
Do the headshots actually look like me?
The pipeline preserves identity in two stages: an identity-conditioned generation model produces the portrait, then a face-comparison model merges your original facial features back into the output. That second stage is why our sets stay recognisable instead of drifting into a generic stock person.
Can I use the headshots commercially?
Yes. Every paid package includes a commercial licence for the professional headshots you receive: LinkedIn, your company website, brochures, ads, articles, speaker decks and printed material. The only restriction is that you may not resell the images as stock photography.
What happens to my uploaded photos?
They are used only to render your order, never for model training, and deleted from storage after 30 days. You can request earlier deletion at any time from the order email.
What if I do not like the results?
Request a redo within 48 hours of delivery and we regenerate with adjusted style guidance. If the redo still does not resemble you, the refund policy applies — see the refund page for the exact conditions.

Traditional studio, phone selfie, or this pipeline?
An honest split of what each option is good at — no invented benchmark numbers.
| Dimension | Traditional studio shoot | Phone selfie (DIY) | This AI pipeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | A studio day rate plus retouching; more outfits usually cost more | Free, but the result is only as good as the light and the crop | One-time packages from $9 (5 images) to $75 (100 images) |
| Time | Booking, shoot and retouch — typically one to three weeks end to end | Five minutes, but no consistent set | Minutes of generation after upload; download immediately |
| Consistency | Good within one session; a reshoot later rarely matches | Poor across photos and devices | One preset fixes backdrop, light and crop across the set |
| Frames delivered | A handful of selects chosen on the day | One or two usable frames at best | 5 to 100 final images, all of the same person |
| Fails when | You need the photo this week, or the budget is not there | The light is poor or the background is busy | You need large-format print or art-directed brand work |
This is a qualitative comparison, not a benchmark: no studio prices, satisfaction scores or customer counts are claimed, and no test shoots were run to produce this table. A studio is still the right call for large-format print and art-directed brand work.
