Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this as my official author photo?

Yes. Our output quality meets the standards for book jackets, Amazon Author Central, publisher websites, and all literary marketing materials.

What style works for authors?

It depends on your genre. Literary fiction authors typically favor thoughtful, moody portraits. Business and self-help authors lean more polished and approachable. Our presets accommodate both.

My publisher needs a high-resolution photo for print. What do you provide?

Our headshots are generated at 2048×2048 pixels — more than sufficient for book jacket printing, which typically requires 300 DPI at relatively small reproduction sizes.

Should I get separate headshots for different pen names?

If you write across vastly different genres, different headshot styles can help readers associate each pen name with its distinct brand. Generate multiple sets with different presets.

What background is best for authors?

Our library preset is the top choice for authors. Warm tones and bookshelves create an intellectual, literary atmosphere. Dark moody backgrounds also work for a more dramatic, editorial feel.
