What types of photos should I upload for best results?

Upload 5-10 clear photos showing your face from different angles - front, slight angles, different expressions. Well-lit photos with your face visible work best. Selfies, casual portraits, or existing professional shots all work. Avoid sunglasses, hats covering your face, or heavily filtered images. More variety in inputs produces better AI understanding of your features.

Can I choose specific outfits and backgrounds?

Yes! Select from professional attire styles (business suit, dress shirt, smart casual, creative professional) and multiple background options (solid colors, office settings, studio, outdoor professional, or upload branded backgrounds). Premium plans offer custom outfit uploads and advanced styling controls for industry-specific looks.

How long does headshot generation take?

After uploading your photos and selecting style preferences, AI headshot generation takes 3-5 minutes. You'll receive 20-40 professional headshot variations to review and download. The process is much faster than scheduling, traveling to, and waiting for traditional photoshoot delivery (typically 1-2 weeks).

Can I generate headshots for my entire team?

Absolutely! Professional and Premium plans support multiple user profiles or team member uploads. Each team member uploads their photos, you select consistent styling and backgrounds, and generate matching headshots for entire teams. Perfect for corporate websites, team pages, and maintaining consistent brand presentation across all employees.

Will people be able to tell my headshot is AI-generated?

Generally, no. PixelMotion's headshots are photorealistic with natural lighting, skin texture, and expressions. They look like professional photography, not obviously AI-generated. However, we recommend being honest if asked directly. Many professionals now use AI headshots as they're practical, affordable, and produce excellent results.

What image formats and sizes do you provide?

Download headshots in PNG or JPG format at resolutions up to 4K. We provide pre-sized exports optimized for LinkedIn (400x400px), email signatures (180x180px), website team pages (800x800px), and print quality (300 DPI). All exports maintain aspect ratio and professional quality for each use case.

How often can I update my professional headshot?

As often as you like! Generate new headshots for seasonal updates, after haircuts or style changes, when transitioning roles, or just to refresh your professional image. Most professionals update annually, but with AI headshots costing $20-40 vs $200-500 for photography, you can update quarterly or even monthly if desired.
