Delivery time
How long does the forge take?+

About 30 minutes end-to-end. Your personalized AI portrait engine is precision-trained on enterprise-grade infrastructure for ~20 minutes, then HeadForge generates your portraits across all outfit and backdrop combinations (~10 minutes). If your forge exceeds 90 minutes, we refund automatically.

Upload
What do I need to upload?+

10–15 selfies. Mix angles (front, 3/4, slight side), expressions (smile, neutral), and lighting (window, soft indoor). Avoid sunglasses, hats, heavy filters, and group shots. iPhone HEIC, JPG, PNG, and WebP all accepted. Each file up to ~20MB.

Privacy
Are my photos safe?+

Yes. Uploads are stored in encrypted enterprise storage with SOC 2-aligned security controls. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your personalized AI model is private to you and is never shared. Source selfies auto-delete after 14 days; generated outputs are removed after the download window (7 days Starter/Pro, 14 days Studio). We never train base models on your photos or share data with third parties. GDPR compliant — including right to erasure on request.
