The Magic Editor lets you refine your headshots after generation. Change backgrounds, swap outfits, upscale to high resolution, and more — all powered by AI. Each edit uses credits from your plan's included balance or purchased credit packs.

> Every edit runs on our highest-quality AI pipeline at 2K resolution, so edited images stay sharp — even after multiple edits or upscaling.

## Available Edits

### Change Background (2 credits)

Replace the background of your headshot with a different setting — studio, corporate, nature, urban, and more. Browse background styles and pick one, and the AI generates a new version of your headshot in that environment.

### Change Outfit (2 credits)

Swap the clothing in your headshot to a different style. Choose from suits, blazers, polos, sweaters, and more — the AI seamlessly integrates the new outfit while keeping your pose and expression. [Learn more about outfits](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/change-outfit).

### Facial Features (2 credits)

Modify facial details like adding a smile, hiding teeth, or changing facial hair (clean shaven, stubble, beard, or mustache). Subtle refinements that keep your headshot looking natural. [Learn more about facial features](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/facial-features).

### Camera Position (2 credits)

Change the framing of your headshot — from a close-up face shot to a half-body, full-body, environmental, or over-the-shoulder view. [Learn more about camera positions](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/camera-position).

### Expand to Landscape (4 credits)

Convert your portrait headshot to a 16:9 landscape format, perfect for LinkedIn banners, website headers, or presentations. Choose whether to position yourself on the left, center, or right. The expanded image is rendered at full 4K resolution. [Learn more about expanding](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/expand-to-landscape).

### Custom Prompt (2 credits)

Describe any change you want in plain text — add glasses, change the lighting, put on a hat, or anything else you can think of. The AI interprets your description and applies the edit. [Learn more about custom prompts](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/custom-prompt).

## Upscaling

Increase the resolution of your headshots for professional use. Upscaling is a one-way operation — apply all other edits first, then upscale your final result. Available resolutions: 4K (2 credits) and 8K (8 credits). [Learn more about upscaling](https://jobfoto.ch/help/magic-editor/upscaling).
