When downloading professional-grade AI generated headshots, understanding the export settings is critical to ensure the final image meets professional standards for use in portfolios, websites, or marketing materials. Many users incorrectly think that once the AI model generates a face, the output is ready for use without further adjustment, but this is typically inaccurate. The export settings significantly impact resolution, color fidelity, file format, compression, and overall clarity.

Begin by selecting the maximum supported resolution. Most AI platforms offer options such as 1024×1024, 2048×2048, up to 4K resolution. For professional headshots, aim for a minimum of 2K resolution, as this guarantees crisp rendering when the image is used in large-format prints or 4K monitors. Lower resolutions may lose detail when cropped or enlarged.

Next, consider the output format. PNG is strongly recommended for AI headshots because it retains intricate textures without artifacting like micro-details in pores, individual hairs, and ambient highlights. Avoid JPEG unless file size is a critical constraint, as JPEG employs destructive compression that degrades quality especially around edges and fine features. If your platform allows, turn off default compression settings and set it to 100 percent if you must use this format.

Color profile plays a crucial role. Choose sRGB for web use and general digital sharing as it is the most widely supported color space. For commercial printing, consider a broader color range such as Adobe RGB, but only when using color-managed workflows. Most online platforms and social media will display inaccurate hues if the image is in a wide-gamut profile without ICC embedding.

Pay attention to the embedded data. Some platforms include details like the algorithm version, creation time, and copyright conditions. While this can be useful for tracking, it may be unnecessary or even undesirable for public use. You can often delete non-essential tags to optimize delivery and enhance confidentiality, especially if the headshot is used in paid campaigns without credit obligations.

DPI or PPI settings are commonly confused. For online platforms, DPI is irrelevant; what matters is the image resolution. But for hard copy, a setting of 300 dots per inch is industry norm. Most AI tools will initiate at 72 PPI, which is fine for screens. If you need to create printed materials, ensure the export process lets you specify print resolution while preserving pixel count, which could blur details.

Lastly, inspect the rendered image before downloading. View at actual pixel size to check this out for artificial surfaces, distorted outlines, or mismatched highlights. Look for signs of AI artifacts that erase natural imperfections, or excessive noise in shadow areas. If the AI platform offers several output variants, evaluate various iterations and choose the most realistic and technically optimal result.

By precision-tuning your download settings, you guarantee your headshot maintains high visual quality and polished presentation. Treat export as the final critical step—this is where your headshot’s true professionalism is forged.
