How much does an AI headshot cost?

Each generation costs 2 credits — the same as one standard image generation on your existing credit balance. There is no separate subscription for this tool. A typical studio session runs $200–500; a trained-model AI service runs $29–59.

Will it still look like me?

Yes — that is the one thing this tool is tuned for. The model we use won our identity test against alternatives: glasses stay on, beards stay, skin tone does not shift, and your age is not "corrected". Adding 1–3 extra reference photos improves likeness further, at no extra cost.

Do I need to pay before I see any results?

You need an account with credits to generate — but every style card and comparison on this page shows real outputs, including the hard cases (glasses, darker skin tones), so you can judge quality before spending anything. Failed generations are refunded automatically.

How many photos do I need to upload?

One clear selfie is enough to start. You can add up to three more from different angles — more references usually mean a closer likeness, and extra photos do not change the price.

Can I use an AI headshot on LinkedIn?

Yes. LinkedIn's policies require your photo to look like you — they do not prohibit AI-generated or AI-edited photos. Use the LinkedIn export preset (400×400, 1:1) and pick the frame that genuinely resembles you.

Can I use this for a passport or visa photo?

No. Government-issued documents — passports, visas, driver's licenses — require an unaltered photograph and explicitly prohibit AI-generated images. The ID Photo style is for work badges, directories and internal systems only.

What happens to my uploaded photos?

Your photos are used only to generate your headshots. They are stored with your account so your history works, and they are never used to train models. You can delete your generations from your history at any time.

How is this different from other AI headshot generators?

Two ways. First, identity: we selected our model by testing the failure cases — glasses, deep skin tones, older faces — and shipping the one that held them. Second, the exports: no other instant generator sizes your headshot for LinkedIn, resumes, badges, avatars and banners in one click. Generation is one price; every export is free.

What is the best AI headshot generator?

It depends on the job. For maximum fidelity on executive bios or print, trained-model services (10–20 photos, 1–3 hours, $29–59) still lead. For a LinkedIn-ready headshot from one selfie in under a minute, an instant generator like this one is the practical choice. If you need it free, several tools offer limited daily generations at lower quality.
