Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI headshot generator?+

There is no single best tool for everyone. FaceShot suits people who want a professional headshot from one selfie in under 60 seconds and want to try for free. Multi-photo services can suit people who already have many varied photos and do not mind waiting.

Is there a free AI headshot generator?+

FaceShot is free to try. New accounts get 4 free credits, enough for one standard generation of 4 headshots, with no card needed.

Should I use an AI headshot tool or a photographer?+

A photographer gives you a directed shoot and hand retouching, usually for $200 or more plus an appointment. An AI tool gives you a usable LinkedIn or CV headshot in minutes for a fraction of that.
