Is my photo kept private when I create journalist headshot?

Yes. Your photo is processed in real-time by the AI and is not stored on our servers after editing. No account is required to use the tool, and we don't collect or share your images. Your original file stays on your device.

Yes. The AI generates professional studio-quality backgrounds with proper lighting gradients and depth of field. You can specify colors and styles like 'clean white studio background' or 'corporate gray gradient' for authentic results.

Can I create journalist headshot for multiple photos at once?

Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.

Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to create journalist headshot and adjust the lighting and colors at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
