Welcome to Honest Headshots! This guide will help you get the most out of our AI headshot service.

How It Works

Getting professional AI headshots is simple. Here's the process from start to finish:

  1. Upload your photos - Submit up to 15 photos of yourself. The more variety, the better your results.
  2. Preview your results - We'll generate a free preview so you can see how your headshots will look (with a watermark).
  3. Choose your package - Pick 35, 55, or 75 headshots for $39, $49, or $59, then complete your one-time purchase to unlock your set, watermark-free.
  4. Get your headshots - Your full set of headshots will be generated in about 5-10 minutes. We'll email you when they're ready.
  5. Browse your gallery - View, favorite, and download your favorites from your personal gallery.
  6. Customize with AI Edits - Swap the background or outfit on any headshot using your included edit credits.

Note: If your headshots take longer than 30 minutes, please contact us and we'll look into it right away.

Uploading Photos

How many photos should I upload?

You can upload between 1 and 15 photos per session. We recommend uploading at least 5-10 photos with variety in angles, expressions, and lighting. More photos give our AI more to work with, which typically means better results.

What makes a good upload?

For the best results, upload photos that:

  • Show your face clearly (no sunglasses, masks, or heavy shadows)
  • Include a variety of angles (front-facing, slight turns to each side)
  • Show different expressions (natural smile, neutral, slight smile)
  • Are recent and represent how you currently look
  • Have good, even lighting (natural light works great)
  • Are in focus and not blurry

What file types are supported?

We accept JPG, MPO, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and HEIF files. Each file can be up to 15 MB. Photos from your phone camera work great.

Style preferences

When uploading, you can tell us what you need your headshots for:

  • Business Formal - Suits, blazers, professional attire
  • Business Casual - Smart but relaxed professional look
  • Casual - Everyday, approachable style
  • Medical/Healthcare - Scrubs, lab coats, medical professional attire

You can also select up to 3 preferred shirt colors to guide the AI. This helps ensure your headshots match your personal brand or company colors.

Using My Gallery

Once your headshots are ready, you'll find them in My Headshots. Here's how to make the most of your gallery:

Viewing your headshots

Your gallery shows all your generated headshots. Click any image to see it larger. You can filter and sort to find exactly what you're looking for.

Filtering options

  • All - Shows all your headshots (except hidden ones)
  • Favorites - Shows only the headshots you've marked as favorites
  • Hidden - Shows headshots you've hidden from the main view

Gallery Actions

Favoriting headshots

Click the heart icon on any headshot to mark it as a favorite. Favorites make it easy to find your best shots later. Use the "Favorites" filter to see only your top picks. You can favorite and unfavorite as many times as you like.

Hiding headshots

Not every AI-generated photo is a winner. Click the eye icon to hide headshots you don't want cluttering your main gallery. Hidden photos aren't deleted - you can still see them by selecting the "Hidden" filter, and you can unhide them anytime.

Tip: Hiding is great for cleaning up your gallery without losing anything permanently.

Deleting an entire photo shoot

You cannot delete individual headshots, but you can delete an entire photo shoot set. Go to My Headshots and click the trash icon next to the photo shoot you want to remove. This permanently deletes all headshots from that order and cannot be undone.

Downloading headshots

Click the download icon to save a full-resolution copy of any headshot to your device. All downloads are high-quality 4K images ready for professional use.

Important: Once you download any headshot from an order, that order is no longer eligible for a refund. Make sure you're happy with your results before downloading.

AI Edits

Want a different background or outfit? Click the edit icon on any headshot to open the editor. Choose from our catalog of backgrounds and outfits, then click "Create." Your edit takes about 15-30 seconds, and the result appears as a new headshot in your gallery — the original stays untouched.

Each edit uses 1 credit. Edit credits are included with your package, and your current balance is shown in the sidebar. If an edit fails for any reason, your credit is automatically refunded.

Bulk actions

Need to favorite or hide multiple headshots at once? Click the "Select" button to enter selection mode. Select the headshots you want, then use the bulk action buttons to apply the action to all selected images.

Billing & Refunds

Payment methods

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processor, Polar.

How do I request a refund?

Go to your Billing page and click the "Refund" button next to your order. If you qualify, your refund will process immediately and appear on your statement within 24-48 hours.

Refund eligibility

To qualify for a refund, you must:

  • Request within 14 days of your purchase
  • Not have downloaded any headshots from that order

See our full Refund Policy for more details.

What if I don't qualify for a refund?

If your order is older than 14 days or you've already downloaded photos, email us at [email protected]. We'll review your case and see if we can help. Since each headshot pack is personalized to you, we can't always offer refunds once you've used the product.

Privacy & Security

Are my photos private?

Yes. Your uploaded photos and generated headshots are only visible to you. We take your privacy seriously and never share your photos with third parties.

Can I delete my data?

If you want to delete your entire account and all associated data, please contact us.

Full privacy details

For complete information about how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

Troubleshooting

My headshots are taking too long

Headshots typically generate in 5-10 minutes. If it's been more than 30 minutes, something may have gone wrong. Please contact us and we'll look into it.

The headshots don't look like me

If your headshots don't look right, email us at [email protected]. You can request a reshoot or a refund. If we can't make it right, we'll refund you.

I can't find my headshots

Make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to make the purchase. Then go to My Headshots to see all your completed orders.
