Actor headshots that still look like you in the room

Casting still thinks in 8×10 in the US and A4 across most of Europe, while online submissions almost always want a square or 4:5 crop. Generate at the largest size in your pack and crop down per destination - cropping a 4K file is free, and upscaling a small one is visible.

Colour, unless a specific submission asks otherwise. Black and white reads as archival now, and casting is trying to match you to a role on sight - skin tone, hair and eye colour are part of that judgement.

Whenever your appearance has moved far enough that the room would notice - a haircut you kept, weight change, or simply looking older than the photo. The cost of an out-of-date headshot is the audition where nobody recognises you.

Policies vary and some casting platforms specifically require photographic headshots - check the rules where you are submitting. Every image here carries embedded content credentials identifying it as AI-generated, so you can disclose it accurately rather than guess.

No, and deliberately so. Realistic skin texture is written into every prompt and over-smoothing is explicitly suppressed. A headshot that does not match the person who walks in is worse than no headshot.

Yes. Generate a warm, open expression for commercial and a grounded neutral for theatrical in the same shoot, with different backdrops and wardrobe for each.

One runs, and three is both where quality stops climbing and the maximum. For actor headshots the useful extra photo is a different angle rather than a different expression - you will choose expressions from the finished set anyway.

Two to five minutes, since the whole set renders at once. That is the practical argument for using this between proper sessions: a self-tape request on Tuesday does not have to wait for a shoot in three weeks.

Likeness is the only score we apply, and for actors it is the entire point - a headshot that flatters you into someone else wastes a casting director’s time and yours. Every render is compared against your uploads, misses are deleted and refunded before delivery, and a shoot that scores low overall is re-run free on a different engine.

Images the likeness check rejects are removed and their credits restored automatically. A low-scoring shoot qualifies for a free re-run. Eligible purchase refunds follow the Refund Policy.

No. Your uploads produce your headshots and nothing else - not training data, not fine-tuning, not evaluation - and every provider in the path is contractually bound to the same rule. For performers whose likeness is their livelihood, that restriction is enforced in code rather than promised in a policy.

The good ones read as ordinary studio photography. We are also straightforward about it: every delivered image carries embedded content credentials identifying it as AI-generated, which is both honest and increasingly a legal requirement.

Actor Headshots draws between 6 and 15 credits per run, depending on the model and length chosen in the form.

Generated output from Actor Headshots can contain visual, audio, or factual errors. Review each result before publishing, and upload only material you are authorized to use. Where the form accepts a reference image, supported files are JPEG, PNG, WebP up to 5 MB each.

An upload is stored against your own account, not pooled with other people's. Deleting the account removes it: the control is in Settings under Security, the request is confirmed by email, and the erasure removes the stored objects it owns. How long anything else is kept, and which processors handle it, is stated in the privacy policy.

Every paid plan includes a commercial licence for what Actor Headshots makes; the free tier is for personal use.
