Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FaceShot
General
No. Results are consistently indistinguishable from a professional studio shoot. The AI is trained specifically for portrait photography, not generic image generation. You won't see uncanny eyes, warped backgrounds, or that 'AI face' look.
We offer a Likeness Guarantee. If you're not happy with your results, claim 20 free Refining Credits to regenerate with a different style, framing, or setting. It's designed to make sure you end up with a headshot you actually love.
Any clear photo works — including a phone selfie taken at home. Make sure your face is clearly visible and well-lit. The in-app framing guide (close-up, head & shoulders, or half body) shows you exactly what to aim for. A simple background helps but isn't required.
Under 60 seconds. Once you upload your photo and select a style, your AI-generated headshots are ready almost instantly. No waiting days for edited proofs.
Yes. All generated headshots are yours to use for both personal and commercial purposes, including LinkedIn profiles, resumes, corporate directories, dating apps, and marketing materials.
Pricing & Credits
FaceShot uses a credit-based system. Standard headshots cost 1 credit each. Premium styles and the Premium (higher quality) model cost 2 credits per image. You earn credits through your subscription plan or by purchasing one-time credit packs.
Monthly subscription credits reset each billing cycle — unused credits don't roll over. One-time credit packs never expire, so you can use them whenever you need new headshots.
We offer five plans to fit any need: Free (1 credit), Starter (30 credits/month), Pro (100 credits/month), Business (250 credits/month), and Team (200 credits/month). Each paid tier unlocks additional features like HD quality and premium styles. Visit our pricing page for current prices.

We offer a Likeness Guarantee on all plans. If you're not happy with your results, claim 20 free Refining Credits to tweak and perfect your headshots. It's a one-time offer designed to make sure you love the final result.

Premium styles are available on paid plans. Paid plans also unlock our Cinema Rig feature, letting you choose specific camera and lens combinations for a unique look.

Yes. Our Business and Team plans include team management features and bulk download capabilities, making it easy to get professional headshots for your entire organization.
Touche is an optional glamour enhancement that subtly smooths minor blemishes and fine lines in your headshot. It gives you a polished, 'best day' look while keeping your natural appearance fully intact. You can enable it in the Advanced settings before generating.
No. Touche applies only subtle refinements — think of it like a professional retoucher gently smoothing skin texture. Your facial structure, skin tone, and identity remain exactly the same. It costs a small premium (1.25x credits) and is completely optional.
