Chibi AI Headshot
Big-head kawaii avatar
The Chibi headshot puts you in kawaii casual outfit in soft pastel tones with one cute accent piece, set against solid pastel gradient backdrop (pastel pink to lavender, mint to cream, or peach to sky-blue) with optional tiny sparkle accents, no environmental detail. We light it with soft even flat cel-shading with one subtle shadow tone on the off-side cheek, no harsh shadow and grade it flat saturated kawaii palette, soft pastel tones, gentle cheek blush, simple cel-shading in one tonal step, thick clean 2-3 pixel outline, no rendering noise. It reads as big-head kawaii avatar, and it's generated from a single selfie in about 60 seconds.

Chibi headshots: FAQ
Is the Chibi style free?
Yes. You get 3 watermarked Chibi headshots a day for free, with no signup and no credit card. The one-time packs ($9 for 30 photos, $19 for 100 in Full HD, $49 for 300) remove the watermark and unlock all 100+ styles.
How many photos do I upload for a Chibi headshot?
Just one selfie. FreeHeadshot runs on Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, which reads your face straight from a single photo, so there's no model training and no 20-photo upload. You can add up to 5 for slightly better results.
What should I wear for the Chibi look?
Nothing special. We render kawaii casual outfit in soft pastel tones with one cute accent piece for you, so upload any clear, well-lit selfie and we handle the wardrobe, lighting, and setting.
How long does it take, and where can I use my Chibi headshot?
About 60 seconds for the free 3-pack. The Chibi look is built for LinkedIn, resumes, team pages, and social profiles. It is not valid for passports or government ID, which require an unedited photograph.
