Questions about these prompts

Can I use an AI headshot on LinkedIn or a resume?

Yes, as long as it still looks like you. Each prompt asks the app to keep your face exactly as photographed; if it smooths or changes your face, ask it to keep your natural skin texture and features.

Which photo works best?

A recent, front-facing photo in daylight or even indoor light, with your face and shoulders visible and no sunglasses or heavy filters.

Can I use this for a passport or official ID?

No. Passport and visa offices need a real, unedited photo. Use the Standard ID Photo look only for informal ID cards and profiles.
