Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every prompt tells ChatGPT to keep your exact face, features, age, and skin tone unchanged, and only restyle the suit, background, and lighting. Upload a clear, front-facing selfie for the most faithful result.

For many firm websites and directories, yes. But some bar associations and courts require a recent, unedited photo. Confirm each directory's photo policy before submitting an AI-generated headshot.

Use a sharp, evenly lit photo at eye level with your full face visible, no sunglasses, and minimal filtering. Front-facing shots give ChatGPT the strongest base to build a suit-and-office portrait from.

The prompts are free to copy and paste. You'll need a ChatGPT account to generate images, and image generation may be rate-limited or require a paid plan depending on current tiers.

Use ChatGPT's built-in image generation (GPT-4o). Attach your selfie, paste a prompt, and send a follow-up message to fine-tune the suit color, tie, or crop.
