After generation, you can preview, edit, upscale, and download your headshots for professional use.

## Preview Mode

Click on any headshot to open it in preview mode. From here you can download the image, mark it as a favorite, upscale it to higher resolution, or open it in the Magic Editor.

## Upscaling

Generated headshots are already usable, but upscaling enhances clarity, sharpens details like eyes and hair, and produces a higher-resolution image. Open the preview and choose your target resolution:

-   **4K** (4096px) — 2 credits, ideal for print, posters, and large displays
-   **8K** (8192px) — 8 credits, maximum detail for large-format printing

> **Tip:** your originals are already sharp enough for LinkedIn, websites, and digital profiles; 4K covers business cards and standard prints. 8K is overkill unless you need very large format printing.

## Editing with the Magic Editor

The Magic Editor lets you refine any headshot using AI. Available edits include:

-   Change background or outfit
-   Adjust facial features
-   Change camera position
-   Expand to landscape format
-   Custom prompt for full creative control

Each edit uses credits from your plan's included balance. See the [Magic Editor Guide](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/magic-editor-guide) for full details and credit costs.

## Social Preview

See how your headshot looks on real social media profiles before downloading. The left side shows a live mockup of your photo on each platform — LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Slack, and Zoom — so you can check how it fits. On the right, download the image pre-cropped to the correct dimensions for any platform. No manual resizing needed.

## Sharing

Want to show someone a headshot? Open the preview and click the share button to generate a temporary link. Choose how long the link stays active — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Anyone with the link can view and download the image without needing an account. You can revoke the link at any time.
