Häufige Fragen

All images are entirely AI-generated based on the selfies you upload. There's no traditional photo shoot involved — which makes our service fast, location-independent and significantly cheaper than a photographer. Thanks to long, intensive optimisation and sophisticated algorithms, we achieve very realistic, authentic-looking images in most cases.

Yes, the generated images look like professional studio headshots. We use identity-preserving models that carry over your facial features, hairstyle and expressions from the selfies — the result is instantly recognisable as you.

Despite sophisticated algorithms, there are of course a few outliers — images you probably won't like or that feel unfamiliar. That's normal and can't be entirely avoided. That's why every package includes a generous number of images, so the perfect ones are sure to be among them. On top of that, you get extra credits for additional variants you can generate.

Entirely in the browser — desktop, tablet, smartphone. You don't need an app or any special hardware.

No, quite the opposite. It may come as a surprise, but behind Pics4Job stands Michael Huwiler (foto-huwi.ch), an experienced Swiss photographer himself. Is he digging his own grave? He's convinced: absolutely not.

AI is a fantastic, supportive tool. Pics4Job delivers high-quality business portraits quickly and easily, perfectly suited for CVs, LinkedIn or websites.

But photography is more than mere image generation. As soon as it comes to a strongly individual visual language, very specific wishes or complex branding requirements, AI reaches its limits.

A real photographer advises you on styling, attends to the smallest nuances of your personality in the studio, and creates in front of the camera that all-round good feeling that makes a truly outstanding, characterful portrait.

AI computes an image – the photographer builds trust through direct contact and captures your true personality.

At least 3, at most 10. More is better. Different angles (front-on, slightly to the side), varying lighting and genuine facial expressions noticeably improve the quality.

Clear, sharp images in daylight. Taken front-on or slightly to the side, face not covered. A few smiling (shows your personality), a few with a neutral expression. Avoid strongly distorting perspectives (selfie stick from below).

Sunglasses, hats/caps, strong filters, poor lighting, photos taken from far away, photos with several people or classic group shots. Also avoid photos where you look very different (different haircut, beard currently different) from today.

Headscarves are allowed and possible. The results will then appear accordingly.

They are stored AES-256-encrypted on Swiss servers and automatically deleted after 7 days. The generated images remain available in your account for 30 days.

That depends on the package you choose:

• Lite — bis zu 24 Stunden
• Basic — bis zu 24 Stunden
• Pro — bevorzugt (5–15 Minuten)
• Premium — bevorzugt (5–15 Minuten)

We're often considerably faster than promised. We send the direct link by email as soon as the images are ready, so you can safely close the tab.

Yes. As soon as all images are generated, we send an email with the direct link to your gallery to the address you provided during checkout. The link is valid for 30 days and can be used multiple times.

With most packages (except Lite), you can generate additional variants of individual images with a different background or outfit, free of charge.

With all packages: if the overall result isn't convincing, write to us — we'll regenerate as a goodwill gesture.

We have packages for different needs — from a quick LinkedIn refresh to a complete headshot set for company profiles. Current prices on the homepage.

The generated portraits are created at a resolution of 2048x2048 px. That's easily enough for typical uses such as social media, websites, CV/résumé, etc.

Only you. Selfies are stored encrypted and cannot be viewed. Generation runs automatically — no person sees your selfies. Generated images are only accessible via your personal magic link.

No. The selfies are used solely to generate your images and are completely deleted after 7 days. No use for model training, no sharing with third parties.

Yes. With your purchase you receive unrestricted usage rights — job applications, LinkedIn, company website, speaker profiles, press. No licensing fees, no attribution required.

We are hosted in Switzerland (the servers are physically located here), comply with the Swiss FADP and are GDPR-compliant. Full privacy policy.

Credit card (Visa, Mastercard), TWINT, PostFinance, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Processing is handled by the Swiss payment provider Payrexx — no card details are stored with us.

Yes. After successful payment, an invoice is automatically sent by email — also usable for company or freelance accounting (including VAT statement).

First port of call: free additional variants. If that still doesn't deliver the result you want, write to us within 7 days — we'll find a solution (regeneration, partial refund, depending on the case).

Even if it probably seems obvious, we'd like to emphasise it once more:

The images are created using AI and based on your selfies. It's in the nature of things that not absolutely every delivered image will be perfect and to your liking. That's why we've made the package sizes generous enough that you'll surely receive numerous suitable, great portraits. And there's always the option to create more variants.
