The Technology Behind Your Headshots

TailorPic uses AI-powered photo generation to turn a few everyday selfies into professional headshots. Here is a plain-language look at how it works and how we handle your photos.

The Process

How It Works

Four stages take you from selfie to finished headshot.

1

Upload Photos

You upload a handful of selfies taken with an ordinary phone camera. Your photos are sent over an encrypted connection to our processing environment.

2

AI Analysis

The AI studies your photos to understand your facial features, skin tone, and hair. This is what lets the results look like you rather than a generic stand-in.

3

Style Transfer

Using the style you choose, the AI generates new images with professional lighting, clothing, backgrounds, and poses. Your own features are carried across into each new scene.

4

Quality Check

Generated images are checked for likeness and visual quality before they reach you. Results that fall short are filtered out so you see the strongest options.

Our Principles

Our Approach

Three commitments guide how we build and run the service.

Trained on Professional Photography

The AI learns from professional lighting, composition, and posing patterns, so the images it creates follow the conventions of a real studio shoot instead of looking like a filtered selfie.

Your Privacy Matters

Your photos are processed securely and automatically deleted after generation. They are never used to train our AI. See our Privacy Policy and Security page for details.

Quality Over Speed

We run multiple quality checks before delivery. We would rather take a little longer than hand you images that do not meet the bar.

Technology FAQ

Are my photos used to train the AI?
No. Your photos are processed to generate your headshots and are then deleted. They are not used to train our AI.
How long does generation take?
Typically under 2 hours. Timing can vary with demand, and we run quality checks before delivery rather than rushing results out.
What photo quality is needed?
Standard phone camera quality is sufficient. Clear, well-lit photos where your face is visible and unobstructed give the AI the most to work with.
Is the output commercially usable?
Yes. A full commercial license is included, so you can use your headshots for business profiles, websites, marketing, and more.
Is the result a real photograph?
No. Your headshots are AI-generated images created from your selfies, not photographs taken in a studio. We think it is important to be upfront about that.
