How it works
From selfie to studio-quality headshot
No photographer, no studio, no appointment. Upload one clear photo, pick a style, and let the AI do the rest — most headshots are ready in under 60 seconds.
Add a selfie or use your camera
Upload a clear photo from your device — JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10MB — or take one on the spot with your built-in camera. A casual phone selfie works perfectly. You can also add several photos for the AI to learn from.
Pick a style or a creative app
Choose from 20+ professional styles across Professional, Creative, Casual, and Seasonal categories — Executive, LinkedIn, Corporate, Dating Profile, and more — or try a creative app like Magazine Cover, Yearbook, or Passport. Optionally enable Touche for a subtle, natural polish.
Let the AI generate your headshot
The AI rebuilds your face in a polished setting using portrait-trained models. Most headshots are ready in under 60 seconds — no scheduling, no studio, no waiting days for proofs.
Download — and upscale if you need to
Download your finished headshot and use it anywhere. Need more resolution? Send it through the built-in upscaler for HD (2x) or print-ready (4x) output, ideal for large prints and high-DPI displays.
What makes a good source photo
Your result is decided the moment you take the selfie. A few fundamentals give the AI everything it needs.
Get the lighting right
Face a window or a soft, indirect light. Avoid backlighting that turns your face into a silhouette, and skip harsh overhead bulbs that pool shadows under your eyes and chin.
Keep your face clear and front-on
Fill a good part of the frame with your face, looking roughly toward the camera. Remove sunglasses or anything covering your features so the AI can see what you actually look like.
Relax into a natural expression
A genuine, relaxed expression reads best. The in-app framing guide — close-up, head & shoulders, or half body — shows you exactly what to aim for.
Favor clean over cluttered
A simple background helps but is not required. One sharp, well-lit selfie beats a busy group photo you have been cropped out of. If you add several photos, keep them all clean.
What to expect — honestly
AI headshots are powerful, but it helps to know how they work before you start.
These are AI-generated images
FaceShot recreates your face in a new, polished setting rather than retouching your original photo. Results are built to look like a real studio shoot, not an obvious "AI face" — but every generation is unique.
You can regenerate and refine
Not every result will be perfect on the first try. Switch styles, framing, or settings and generate again until it feels like you. The better your source photo, the more consistent your results.
A Likeness Guarantee has your back
If you are not happy with your results, you can claim free Refining Credits to regenerate with a different style or setting — designed to make sure you end up with a headshot you actually love.
