Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI studio headshots
Will recruiters or hiring managers notice this headshot was generated by AI?
No. SayBuff is an AI headshot generator that anchors your face before generating anything — 68 biometric landmarks locked across the eyes, nose, mouth, and jawline — and rebuilds only studio lighting, depth of field, and wardrobe around them. Bone structure, facial proportions, and skin micro-texture carry through untouched. If no face clears the detection threshold, the pipeline stops and asks for another photo rather than inventing one. The studio renders at whichever ratio the use case needs — 1:1 for a LinkedIn profile photo, 3:4 for an ID photo, 2:3 for a half-body portrait, 4:3 landscape — with wardrobe, backdrop, and light from one of four named presets: smart casual, tech modern, executive formal, or creative academic. What it will not do is flatter you into a different person: glasses, facial hair, moles, and hairline contours are treated as permanent landmarks, and the result is only as faithful as your source selfie.
Can I legally use these headshots on LinkedIn, resumes, and company websites?
Yes, 100%. You own full commercial and personal usage rights for all generated portraits. They are specifically calibrated for LinkedIn profile pictures, ATS-friendly resumes, company team pages, email signatures, conference bios, and press releases.
Is it really free to generate my first headshot? Do I need a credit card?
Yes, absolutely free with zero credit card required. You can test biometric face landmark extraction and studio lighting directly without signing in. Once ready, registering with just an email grants 600 welcome credits immediately — sufficient to render and download your first studio-grade professional portrait in your chosen attire completely free.
What kind of selfie gives the best studio-quality results?
One clear, front-facing smartphone photo is all you need. For optimal studio lighting reconstitution, ensure your face is well-lit with even natural light, look directly at the camera, and avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows, or blurry camera lenses. Neutral facial expressions or gentle professional smiles yield the best results.
Will my glasses, facial hair, moles, or distinctive features be preserved?
Yes. SayBuff treats glasses, beards, moles, dimples, brow arches, and hairline contours as permanent biometric landmarks. Our 0%-alteration policy strictly preserves your unique facial identity — the algorithm never artificially removes or adds physical traits.
What image formats and resolutions are delivered? Can I sync directly to resumes?
Portraits are exported in high-resolution JPG/PNG files formatted in standard portrait ratios (2:3 and 1:1), fully optimized for LinkedIn and executive bios. If you use SayBuff to build your resume, your generated headshot can be inserted directly into our ATS-optimized resume templates with a single click.
Will my photos be used to train public AI models? How is my privacy protected?
Never — your photos are not used to train public AI models. During the free trial, the cropped selfie you submit is kept only so an unclaimed draft can still be rendered later; it is automatically deleted within 24 hours. Once you are signed in, a photo you upload stays in memory for the duration of the render and is released when the request completes — it is not written to disk, and only the finished portrait is saved, to your own album. Facial feature data analyzed during generation is destroyed together with the generation process itself. Anything in your album is yours alone and can be removed at any time.
