The Process

Three steps from selfie to headshot

Step 1 Before generation

Choose Your Styles

Choose and pay for a plan, then select your gender and up to 8 styles on Starter or 20 on Professional from 60 available styles.

  • Choose from 60 styles (30 per gender) in Corporate, Office, Outdoor, Doctor, Lawyer. Starter allows up to 8 styles; Professional allows up to 20.
Step 2 Before generation

Upload One Selfie

Upload one clear, front-facing selfie in natural light. A plain background works best.

  • Face the camera directly, shoulders visible
  • Use even natural light
  • No sunglasses, hats, or face coverings
Step 3 About 1 hour per order

Generate & Download

Allow about 1 hour for AI generation, then open your gallery and download your headshots before the 15-day retention deadline.

  • Your selfie guides AI generation and editing; no custom model training
  • Starter: 1200×1600 pixels. Professional: 1800×2400 pixels.
  • Download before the retention deadline
Photo Guide

How to take the perfect selfie

The quality of your uploaded selfie directly affects your results. Follow these six guidelines and your generated headshots will look significantly more professional.

Quick checklist before uploading:

Face the camera, chest-up framing
Natural daylight near a window
Plain wall or neutral background
Relaxed, natural expression
No sunglasses, hats, or masks
One person in the frame only

Good lighting

Natural daylight near a window. Avoid harsh overhead lights or direct sun.

Front-facing

Face the camera directly. Profile or angled shots reduce quality.

Shoulders visible

Frame from the chest up so the AI can generate natural proportions.

Plain background

A white wall, door, or curtain. Busy backgrounds distract the AI.

One person only

Group photos or partially obscured faces won't work well.

Recent photo

Upload a photo that looks like you today for the most accurate results.

Technology

How the AI creates your portrait

Your selfie is used as a reference by AI image-generation and editing models to create a base portrait and apply your selected styles; we do not train a custom 3D face model or fine-tune an AI model on your photos.

Common questions about the process

Everything you need to know before uploading your first selfie.

How long does the AI headshot process take?

Allow about 1 hour after submitting your selfie for either plan. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed deadline; processing time can vary. There is no separate rush-processing option.

What kind of selfie should I upload?

Use a clear, well-lit photo where your face is fully visible and you're looking directly at the camera. Natural daylight near a window is ideal. Avoid sunglasses, hats, or heavy face coverings. A plain background like a white wall works best. Frame from the chest up.

How many styles can I choose?

Choose from 60 styles (30 per gender) in Corporate, Office, Outdoor, Doctor, Lawyer. Starter allows up to 8 styles; Professional allows up to 20.

Will the headshot actually look like me?

Your selfie is used as a visual reference during generation and styling, not to train a custom face model. The AI aims to preserve your facial features, but results can vary; review each headshot before using it.

What resolution are the generated headshots?

Starter: 1200×1600 pixels. Professional: 1800×2400 pixels.

Can I use the headshots commercially?

Yes. Every headshot comes with full commercial usage rights. Use them on your personal website, company site, social media, marketing materials, and anywhere else you need a professional photo. No licensing restrictions or hidden fees.

What if I'm not happy with the results?

A full refund is available for your first purchase if requested within 14 days of purchase and you have not downloaded any generated headshots. Email support@headshot-plus.com with your order number. Eligible refunds are processed to your original payment method, typically within 5–7 business days.

Is my photo data safe?

Uploaded selfies and headshot gallery entries are scheduled for removal 15 days after the order is created. Download your headshots before that deadline; removed images cannot be re-downloaded from Headshot Plus. You can remove a session's images earlier using “Delete images” in your Dashboard. Session records and payment history are retained.
