How can we help?

FaceShot turns an ordinary photo of you into a polished, studio-style headshot using AI. There is no photographer, no studio, and no appointment — you work entirely from your browser.

The flow is simple: upload a clear photo of yourself, pick a style, and generate. In under a minute you get professional headshots you can download and use for LinkedIn, your resume, a team page, or anywhere else you need a great photo of yourself.

• Upload a clear, well-lit photo of your face
• Choose a style (Executive, Corporate, LinkedIn, Dating Profile, and more)
• Generate — results are ready in under 60 seconds
• Download your favorites or save them to a collection

Open the editor to start. Upload a photo where your face is clearly visible and evenly lit, then browse the style presets and pick the look you want. When you are ready, press Generate.

You can choose how many images to create in a single batch, set the aspect ratio (3:4 is ideal for LinkedIn and most headshots), and pick a resolution. Each generated standard headshot costs 1 credit; premium styles and the higher-quality Premium model cost 2 credits per image.

• Go to the editor and upload your photo
• Pick a style preset that matches where you will use the photo
• Optionally set the batch size, aspect ratio, and resolution
• Press Generate and wait a few seconds for your results

Yes — you create a free account to generate and keep your headshots. New accounts start with a free credit so you can try FaceShot before deciding on a plan, and no credit card is required to sign up.

You can sign in two ways: with an email and password, or with a passwordless magic link. With magic-link sign-in, you enter your email and we send you a one-time link that logs you in with a single click — no password to remember.

• Sign up free — a free credit is included so you can try it
• No credit card required to create an account
• Sign in with an email and password, or with a magic link

Most generations finish in under 60 seconds. Once you upload a photo and choose a style, your headshots are ready almost instantly — there is no waiting days for edited proofs the way there is with a traditional photo shoot.

If you generate a large batch or use the higher-quality Premium model, it can take a little longer, but you will see live progress while it works.

Any clear photo works, including a phone selfie taken at home. The single most important factor is that your face is clearly visible and well-lit. Soft, even daylight from a window is ideal — avoid strong backlight and harsh overhead light that casts shadows under your eyes.

A simple, uncluttered background helps the AI cleanly separate you from your surroundings, but it is not required. The in-app framing guide shows you exactly what to aim for, whether that is a close-up, head-and-shoulders, or half-body shot.

• Make sure your face is clearly visible and in focus
• Use soft, even lighting — daylight from a window is best
• A plain background helps but is not required
• Avoid sunglasses, hats, or anything covering your face
• Skip heavy filters and beauty modes — they distort your real features

FaceShot accepts standard image formats — JPG, PNG, and WebP. For the best results, upload the sharpest, highest-quality version of your photo that you have.

The Upscale tool, which enlarges an existing image, accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10MB.

• Supported formats: JPG, PNG, and WebP
• Upscale accepts files up to 10MB
• Higher-quality source photos produce better headshots

Yes — FaceShot is built specifically for portrait photography, so results are designed to look like a real studio photo of you, not a generic AI face. The better your source photo, the more recognizable and accurate the result.

If a result drifts from how you actually look, the fix is usually to start from a clearer, better-lit photo and to pick the most natural-looking outputs. You can also regenerate with a different style or framing until you get one you love.

The AI is trained specifically for portraits rather than generic image generation, so results are consistently designed to be indistinguishable from a professional studio shoot — without the uncanny eyes, warped backgrounds, or "AI face" look.

To keep things natural, feed it a clear, honest photo of yourself and choose the outputs that look most like the real you.

FaceShot uses a credit-based system. A standard headshot costs 1 credit. Premium styles and the higher-quality Premium model cost 2 credits per image. The optional Touche glamour enhancement applies a small premium (1.25x credits).

You get credits from your subscription plan each month, and you can top up any time with one-time credit packs.

• Standard headshot: 1 credit
• Premium styles and the Premium model: 2 credits per image
• Touche enhancement: a small 1.25x credit premium (optional)
• Upscale to HD (2x): 1 credit · Upscale to print-ready (4x): 2 credits

Monthly subscription credits reset at the start of each billing cycle, so unused subscription credits do not roll over. Credits from one-time credit packs never expire — you can use them whenever you need new headshots.

There are five subscription plans to fit different needs: Free (1 credit to try it), Starter, Pro, Business, and Team. Each paid tier unlocks additional features such as HD quality and premium styles.

If you would rather not subscribe, you can buy one-time credit packs instead. Packs come in Starter, Popular, and Pro sizes, with bigger packs offering better value per credit. Visit the pricing page for current prices.

• Free, Starter, Pro, Business, and Team subscription plans
• Paid tiers unlock HD quality, PNG downloads, and premium styles
• One-time credit packs available in Starter, Popular, and Pro sizes
• Larger packs cost less per credit

Every plan includes a Likeness Guarantee. If you are not happy with your results, you can claim free Refining Credits to regenerate with a different style, framing, or setting — it is designed to make sure you end up with a headshot you actually love.

For account or billing questions, reach out to support and we will help.

You can review your plan, credit balance, and payment history from the billing area of your account. From there you can upgrade, change, or cancel your subscription, and buy additional credit packs whenever you need them.

The Upscale tool enlarges an existing image while keeping it sharp — useful when you need a higher-resolution file or a print-ready version. Upload the image, choose a quality tier, and download the result.

HD (2x) costs 1 credit and is great for screens. Print-ready (4x) costs 2 credits and produces the largest, highest-resolution file. Credits are only deducted once the upscale succeeds.

• HD (2x): 1 credit — ideal for screens and web
• Print-ready (4x): 2 credits — best for printing
• Accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 10MB

Yes. You own the headshots you generate, and you can use them for both personal and commercial purposes — LinkedIn profiles, resumes, corporate directories, dating apps, business cards, and marketing materials.
