Can You Use AI Headshots on Your Website? License Guide 2026
Yes — with a paid Headshots pack you get a full commercial license and ownership of the images, so you can use them on your website, CV, LinkedIn, and job boards. Free AI previews are often watermarked or personal-use only. This guide covers usage rights for company sites and boards like Indeed or local Nordic portals — not LinkedIn’s likeness policy and not GDPR. Not legal advice; product facts from Headshots.so.
Headshots is a Danish company with EU-hosted databases, AES256 encryption, and AI models auto-deleted after 30 days. You can delete uploads and generated images anytime. FAQ on the homepage: you have complete freedom to use your images wherever you want — full commercial license and ownership on paid packs. About 10 selfies, about 15 minutes. Start on Headshots.so. Teams: Headshots for teams.
Can you use AI headshots on your website in 2026?
Yes, if your provider grants commercial rights for the downloaded files. On Headshots.so, paid packs include a commercial license so the same portrait can sit on the about page, team grid, press kit, and email signature. A free Midjourney-style experiment or a watermarked trial is a different product: many tools limit commercial use to paid HD downloads. Always read the plan you buy — “looks good in the browser” is not the same as “cleared for the company site.”
- Website / about: commercial license required for public company use
- Job boards: same — employers and candidates both need rights to show the face
- Press / media kit: commercial license; still follow each outlet’s image rules
What is the difference between a commercial license and a free-tool preview?
A commercial license means you may use the image in business contexts: site, ads-adjacent profiles, job applications, and sales decks. Free previews often keep watermarks, lower resolution, or a personal-use clause that blocks company pages. Headshots.so states on the homepage FAQ that paid customers get full commercial license and ownership. Individual Basic is $45 for 96 headshots in about 15 minutes (Starter $29, Premium $69). Team list price from the homepage is $45 per person (15% off at 15). That is the product closer — not a lawyer letter.
| Free / preview tools | Headshots.so paid | |
|---|---|---|
| License | Often personal-use or unclear | Full commercial license + ownership |
| Website use | Risky without clear rights | Allowed under commercial license |
| Job boards | May be blocked by terms | Use on applications and profiles |
| Watermark / res | Common on free tiers | Download-ready paid outputs |
Website, LinkedIn, and job boards — what changes per surface?
License answers “may I use this file commercially?” Platform policy answers “does this site accept the photo?” LinkedIn still requires likeness — colleagues must recognise you. Job boards and CVs care that you own the rights and look like the person interviewing. Your company website is a commercial surface: do not put a free-tier sample there. For matching team grids, locked backgrounds and admin invites live on /for-teams — 180+ companies already. EU AI Act Art. 50 is a transparency topic covered in our LinkedIn-allowed guide; this article is about usage rights, not deepfake labelling.
- License first: buy a pack that grants commercial use
- Likeness second: pick an output that still looks like you
- Platform third: follow each board’s upload rules
FAQ
Short answers on AI headshot commercial license for websites and job boards in 2026. Not legal advice — Headshots product facts and practice.
Can I use Headshots images on my company website? Yes. Paid packs include a full commercial license and ownership. Follow your own brand and any agency contracts separately.
What about job boards and CVs? Commercial license covers professional use including applications. Local boards still have their own image guidelines.
Is a free AI headshot enough for the about page? Usually no. Free tiers often restrict commercial use or watermark files. Use a paid download with clear rights.
Is this the same as LinkedIn allowing AI? No. LinkedIn is likeness policy. This page is usage rights / commercial license. Both matter; they are different questions.
Where is my data? Danish company, EU-hosted databases, AES256, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 providers (not a Headshots certification). Models auto-delete after 30 days; delete uploads and outputs anytime. Support: hey@headshots.dk.
