Once your headshots are generated, you can download them to your device and use them anywhere – LinkedIn, your resume, company website, business cards, or wherever you need a professional photo.

Important: Profiles automatically expire after 30 days and the generated headshots are deleted. Download anything you want to keep before your profile's expiry date. More about profile expiry

Two ways to download

You can save headshots one at a time or download everything as a single zip file:

  • Single image – open a headshot in the preview and tap the download button. Ideal when you only need one or two.
  • Favorites as zip – mark headshots with the star and then download all favorites bundled as a zip file. Ideal for saving everything before your profile expires.

The exact steps differ by device. Jump to the section that applies to you:

On desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux)

It's easiest on desktop – downloads go to your Downloads folder and zip files are straightforward to extract.

Single image

  1. Click a headshot to open the preview
  2. Click the download button in the toolbar
  3. The JPEG file is saved to your Downloads folder – open it from your browser's download bar or directly from the folder

Favorites as zip

  1. Click the star on each headshot you want to keep
  2. Go to the profile overview and click Download all favorites
  3. Choose aspect ratio (Original, Square 1:1, or both) and date prefix in the filename (None, US, or ISO 8601), then click Download
  4. You'll find the zip file in your Downloads folder. On macOS, double-click to extract automatically; on Windows, right-click and choose Extract all; on Linux, double-click or use the Archive Manager

On iPhone or iPad

iOS manages downloads through Safari and the Files app. It takes a few extra taps, but the process is always the same.

The fastest way on iPhone is to save directly to the Photos app:

  1. Open the headshot in the preview
  2. Tap the expand button in the top right to open the image in full screen
  3. Long-press the image and choose Save to Photos
  4. The headshot appears immediately in your Photos app

Or via the download button:

  1. Tap the download button in the preview
  2. Safari shows a confirmation – tap Download
  3. Tap the small arrow icon in the address bar, then tap the file to open it. To find it later, open the Files app and look under iCloud Drive › Downloads or On My iPhone › Downloads

Favorites as zip

  1. Tap the star on each headshot you want to keep
  2. Go to the profile overview and tap Download all favorites
  3. Choose aspect ratio (Original, Square 1:1, or both) and date prefix in the filename (None, US, or ISO 8601), then tap Download
  4. Confirm Safari's download prompt
  5. Open the Files app, go to Downloads, and tap the zip file once – iOS extracts it into a folder right next to it
  6. Open the new folder. Long-press individual photos to save them to the Photos app, or share them directly from there

Tips

  • Download on desktop when possible – it's easier to use and zip files are simpler to extract
  • On mobile, save to Photos / Google Photos so you can find the images quickly later, without searching through the Files app
  • Don't wait until your profile's expiry day – download the photos as soon as you've chosen your favorites
