# Charmshots > AI portraits for dating profiles and professional introductions, with practical advice on choosing honest, recognisable photos. Canonical site: https://charmshots.com Charmshots makes new portraits from users’ own selfies. Users pick up to four of 31 real-life scenes per set, upload 3–5 selfies and get one photo per scene in a couple of minutes each. Credit packs are one-time purchases: $12 for 40 credits (8 photos), $24 for 100 credits (20 photos), and $39 for 200 credits (40 photos). A photo uses five credits. AI can alter details; results need review. Charmshots does not guarantee platform acceptance, likeness or matches. The collection shows AI-generated style examples, not customer testimonials. ## Product - [Home](https://charmshots.com/) - [AI photos for dating apps](https://charmshots.com/ai-photos-for-dating-apps/): how to mix generated portraits with real photos on Hinge, Tinder and Bumble, likeness checks, how the studio works and pricing - [All scenes with example photos](https://charmshots.com/styles/) - [Work headshots](https://charmshots.com/headshots/): natural professional headshots, real or AI: LinkedIn at home, backgrounds, casual vs formal, team pages, founder, speaker, freelance and author photos, mobile crops and when to replace one - [Free dating photo score](https://charmshots.com/score/): scores each profile photo out of 100 for face, light, sharpness, framing, filters, expression and setting, in the browser; photos are not uploaded.
