Where AIMerger is the better choice

If you're here to merge images, you want a merge-first tool. HeadshotMaster's core product is AI headshots; its image combiner is one of many side utilities sharing a generic credit system where the cost of each operation "varies based on computational demands" — you find out what you spent after you've spent it. AIMerger splits this cleanly: layout merges never touch credits — they're free and unlimited — and every AI merge costs exactly 1 credit. Always.

Truly free means truly free. The free tier isn't a limited trial of the paid tier — it's a separate engine that never uses credits. Our layout merger is unlimited, watermark-free and runs entirely in your browser — your photos are never uploaded at all, which no server-side tool can claim. And every failed AI generation is refunded automatically.

Built for the merges people actually want. Couples in one photo, group shots from separate pictures, family portraits across generations — with support for up to 8 photos per merge instead of 4.

Where HeadshotMaster is the better choice

Fairness matters: if what you actually need is professional AI headshots — profile pictures from selfies — that's HeadshotMaster's core product, and a dedicated headshot tool is the right pick for that job. AIMerger doesn't generate headshots; we merge.

Switching is instant

There's nothing to migrate and no account to create. Open the merger, drop your photos, download the result. If you've bought credits elsewhere that expire — ours never do.
