How does AI Headshots work?
Upload 10-20 casual selfies, pick the styles you want, and our AI generates 40+ professional headshots in about 30 minutes. We email you when your pack is ready. You download print-ready files (4096px) usable on LinkedIn, company sites, press kits, and anywhere else.
How many selfies do I need to upload?
10 to 20 casual phone photos. Varied angles, expressions, and lighting work best. No need for professional photography — the entire point is that we turn casual input into professional output. Clear, recent photos help most.
How long does it actually take?
Most packs are delivered within 30 minutes of upload. Complex multi-style packs (Executive or Teams rollouts) can take up to 90 minutes during peak hours. We email you the moment the pack is ready.
What if I want to try it before paying $29?
We offer a free single-headshot preview at /try. Upload one selfie, get one watermarked AI headshot in your inbox. No credit card.
How much does AI Headshots cost?
Three individual plans: Basic ($29 — 40 headshots / 4 styles), Professional ($39 — 100 headshots / 10 styles), Executive ($59 — 200 headshots / 20 styles). Teams start at $29/user with volume discounts up to 50% off at 1,000+ seats. See /pricing for the full breakdown.
Do you offer a refund?
14-day money-back guarantee on every pack. If you're not satisfied, email contact@thestudiopod.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. We also offer one free re-train with better input selfies if you want to try again before refunding.
Are there hidden fees or subscriptions?
No. Every plan is a one-time payment. No subscriptions, no auto-renew, no surprise charges. Teams accounts have monthly or annual options; both are cancellable any time.
How does Teams pricing work?
From $29/user with volume tiers: 5+ users 20% off, 25+ 25% off, 50+ 30% off, 100+ 35% off, 200+ 40% off, 500+ 45% off, 1,000+ 50% off. Single invoice, central admin dashboard, consistent style enforcement. See /enterprise for the full feature list.
How is the photo quality? Do they look real?
Yes. Our outputs are studio-quality and indistinguishable from real photography for ~95% of use cases. We designed our model around what we learned running Studio Pod — a real automated headshot studio in Houston that has shot 10,000+ professionals.
Can I use these for commercial purposes (LinkedIn, company sites, ads)?
Yes. Every pack includes a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free commercial license. Use them on LinkedIn, company websites, marketing materials, press releases, books, conference programs — anywhere.
Can I get specific styles like LinkedIn, executive, doctor, realtor?
Yes. Pick from preset styles during the order flow: Corporate, Executive, LinkedIn, Creative, Casual, Medical (white coat / scrubs), Legal (formal suit), and others. You'll get 10 outputs per style combination. Pick 4 styles = 40 headshots.
What if the result doesn't look like me?
Usually a sign your input selfies need more variety — same angle / same expression / same lighting limits what the model can learn. We offer a free re-train with better input photos if your first pack isn't right. If you're still unhappy, full refund within 14 days.
What do you do with my photos?
We use your uploaded photos only to train your private AI model and generate your headshots. We never use them to train any other model, we never sell or share them, and we never expose them to third-party AI labs.
How long do you keep my data?
Uploaded photos and your trained AI model: until you delete them. Both can be deleted from your account settings at any time — removed from active systems within seven days and from backups within thirty.
Is my data secure?
Yes. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, isolated AI models per account. Card data is handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). SOC 2 in progress. See /security for the full security posture.
Are AI headshots accepted by LinkedIn, hospital directories, and corporate websites?
Yes, when they look photoreal. LinkedIn, Zillow, Compass, hospital staff directories, and most corporate websites accept AI-generated headshots without disclosure. Some specific contexts (medical fellowship applications, certain casting platforms) require disclosure — we recommend you check each platform's policy.
Can I roll this out to my whole company?
Yes. From 5 seats to 5,000. Single invoice, central admin dashboard, locked-in brand style across every employee, bulk export. Volume discounts up to 50% off at 1,000+ seats. SSO/SCIM available on annual contracts of 100+ seats. See /enterprise.
How fast can a 100-person team get headshots?
Most 100-person rollouts complete within one week. Each employee uploads on their own time; packs are ready 30 minutes after their upload. No coordinating photographers, no studio visits, no 6-week project timeline.
Do you have SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA compliance?
GDPR + CCPA compliant. SOC 2 Type II is in progress (target Q4 2026). Not currently HIPAA-covered — do not upload Protected Health Information.
Can we integrate AI Headshots with our HR systems?
On annual enterprise contracts of 100+ seats, yes — Okta and Google Workspace SSO, SCIM user provisioning, and bulk export integrations with Workday, BambooHR, and Greenhouse. Smaller teams use the standard web dashboard.
Who built AI Headshots?
AI Headshots is built by the team behind Studio Pod — an automated headshot studio in Houston, Texas that has shot 10,000+ real professionals since 2019. We're photographers who built an AI, not a software team retrofitting open models. Joseph West is the founder. See /about.
Where are you based?
Houston, Texas. Studio Pod's flagship physical studio is in Houston. AI Headshots serves customers nationwide and internationally, but the team is Houston-based.
Can I visit Studio Pod in person?
Yes — we're the only AI headshot company you can visit in person. Studio Pod's Houston studio is open for in-person bookings. See /studio-pod for details.
How are you different from HeadshotPro, Aragon, BetterPic, and other AI headshot tools?
We're photographers who built an AI. Every competitor in this category is a software team retrofitting open models on scraped internet photos. We started in a physical studio and designed our AI around real-world craft. That's why our outputs hold realistic skin texture, accurate facial features, and hands that look right. See /alternatives for honest comparisons.
