What free means here

New users receive 15 credits on first launch and each image costs 2, so seven headshots cost nothing. There is no card step and no sign-up. After that, credit packs are sold through Telegram Stars. You can try several outfits and backdrops on the free credits and decide whether the likeness is good enough for your page. Nothing is charged until the free credits run out, and you see each result before you decide to continue.

Making it look like you

A headshot should look like you on a good day. Send a sharp photo, remove sunglasses and heavy filters, and list the details people notice, such as a beard or round glasses. Keep the caption short and about clothing, backdrop and mood. If a retouching feel creeps in, ask for natural skin. Compare against your original and rerun if the face smoothed too much.

Where to post it

Use the headshot on a work network, a CV header, a speaker bio or an email signature. Some employers and platforms have rules about edited photos, so read the policy of the site where you post. A realistic image should still resemble your current appearance when you meet people. Update it when your hair, glasses or beard change, and keep the original selfie nearby so you can compare the two side by side.

Tips

Face a window for even light.
Name the clothing you would wear to a first meeting.
Ask for a natural smile, with no wide grin.
Try two backdrops and pick the calmer one.
