Frequently Asked Questions

HeadShotCreate is an AI-powered professional headshot generator that transforms a single selfie into studio-quality corporate headshots in 60 seconds. No photographer needed, no expensive photo sessions—just upload one photo and get professional results instantly.

Simply upload one clear selfie. Our AI analyzes your photo and generates professional headshots with studio-quality lighting, backgrounds, and styling. You'll see a free preview in about 60 seconds. If you like it, pay to download the high-resolution version (2000x2000px).

Yes! After uploading your photo, you'll see exactly what your professional headshot will look like before paying anything. No credit card required for the preview. Only pay if you're happy with the result.

Most headshots are generated in about 60 seconds. During busy times, it might take up to 2-3 minutes. This is significantly faster than competitors that require hours or days of processing.

Upload a clear, well-lit photo where your face is visible and in focus. Best results come from: good natural lighting (near a window), looking at the camera, neutral expression or slight smile, minimal shadows on your face, and a clean background. You can use a selfie or have someone else take the photo.

It's best to use a photo with just you in it. While our AI can sometimes work with group photos, results are significantly better with solo photos where you're the only subject.

No! Unlike competitors that require 10-20 photos, HeadShotCreate only needs ONE photo. This makes the process much faster and more convenient.

Our AI can work with imperfect photos, but better input photos produce better results. If your preview doesn't look great, try uploading a different photo with better lighting or a clearer face shot.

We offer three tiers: Starter ($7) includes 1 professional headshot, Pro ($19) includes 6 headshots with multiple styles, and Team pricing for 10+ people with bulk discounts. The preview is always free.

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal through our secure payment processor. All transactions are encrypted and secure.

No! All our packages are one-time payments. Pay once, download your headshots, and you're done. No recurring charges or hidden fees.

Since you see a free preview before paying, we generally don't offer refunds. However, if there's a technical issue with your download or you're unsatisfied for a valid reason, contact us within 7 days and we'll work with you. See our refund policy for details.

Yes! Our headshots are specifically designed for professional use including LinkedIn, resumes, company websites, email signatures, and any business application.

First, check your internet connection. Make sure your photo is under 10MB and in a common format (JPG, PNG, HEIC). Try a different browser if the problem persists. If you're still having issues, contact us with details about your device and browser.

Check your spam/junk folder first. The email comes from noreply@headshotcreate.com. If it's not there, contact us with your payment confirmation and we'll resend immediately.

Yes! If your preview doesn't meet your expectations, you can upload a different photo and generate a new preview—it's free. Better input photos (good lighting, clear face) produce better results.

Absolutely! We offer team discounts for 10+ people. Contact us for custom team pricing and bulk processing. Many companies use HeadShotCreate for consistent employee headshots.

Our headshots are designed for corporate and professional use (LinkedIn, business websites, resumes). For acting/modeling headshots that need to capture personality and range, we recommend traditional photography.

Yes! At 2000x2000px resolution, you can print up to 8x8 inches at high quality (300 DPI), or larger at lower print resolutions. Perfect for business cards, name tags, or small prints.

Key differences: (1) We only need ONE photo, not 10-20. (2) Results in 60 seconds, not hours. (3) Free preview before you pay. (4) More affordable starting at $7 vs $29+ competitors. (5) Clear privacy policy—we delete your photos after processing.

It depends on your needs. For professional business headshots, our AI delivers comparable quality at a fraction of the cost ($7-19 vs $300-500) with instant delivery. For specialized photography (creative headshots, fashion, acting), traditional photographers still have advantages.

Free options typically have major limitations: very low resolution (512px vs our 2000px), watermarks, long wait times, unclear data practices, and lower quality AI models. For $7, you get professional quality, privacy, and instant results.
