Question 1

How does an AI headshot compare to a studio shoot?

Accepted Answer

Traditional studio: $200-500 + half-day booking + makeup/styling. AI: 30 seconds + the credit cost shown before generation + one selfie. Quality-wise, powered by Gemini 3 Pro Image + Seedream dual-engine, skin texture / wardrobe sheen / background bokeh are studio-grade. Recruiters can't tell the difference.

Question 2

What kind of selfie do I need to upload?

Accepted Answer

(1) Front or 3/4 angle, eyes on camera (2) Even lighting (avoid harsh top-light shadows) (3) Natural expression (smile or neutral) (4) At least 800x800 px sharp. A phone selfie is enough — no DSLR needed.

Question 3

What styles are supported?

Accepted Answer

Business (suit / dress, office or neutral gray bg), Tech (smart-casual blazer / minimal bg), Creative (casual button-down / studio), Finance (dark suit / formal), Consulting (neutral professional). Custom prompts also supported in /create editor.

Question 4

Can I use AI headshots commercially?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans (Lite/Pro/Studio) include commercial license — usable on LinkedIn, resumes, company sites, business cards, personal brand sites, press releases, all commercial contexts. Free tier is personal use only.

Question 5

I'm Asian / Latino / Black — will the model render my skin tone and features accurately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Seedream 4.0 (strong on Asian / non-Western datasets) + Gemini 3 Pro dual-engine. Asian, Latino, Black, and mixed-race faces are specifically optimized — none of the usual 'AI lightens everyone' problem.

Question 6

Can I generate multiple style variations from the same selfie?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each generation is independent — one selfie can produce 5 different style headshots. We recommend running 1-2 to find your best style first, then generating in batch.

Question 7

Can I use this tool in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

This tool uses credits based on the selected model and options. The separate Z-Image Turbo free tier allows 1 generation per day for visitors and 3 per day for registered free accounts; it may not apply to this tool. Any promotional welcome credits show their amount and expiry in your account. Current plans and packs are confirmed on the Pricing page and before checkout.

Question 8

Will the generated headshot still look like me?

Accepted Answer

Facial features 90%+ preserved (eye shape, nose, mouth, face contour). The model will: (1) improve lighting (2) refine grooming naturally (3) match the professional setting. Result looks like your best-self selfie — not a different person.
