Pick a style on the left, then hit Apply. Your original stays untouched — you always see both.
How to use AI Headshot Generator
Upload a clear photo of your face
A front-facing JPG, PNG or WEBP where both eyes are visible and the light is even. A plain phone selfie taken near a window is genuinely better source material than a dim photo from a good camera.
Pick the style you need
Corporate, LinkedIn, executive, creative, outdoor or plain white. The choice sets the wardrobe, the background and how hard the lighting is — or write your own brief if you have something specific in mind.
Generate and download
Compare the original against the result, regenerate if the tie or the crop is not right, then download at full resolution. No watermark, and nothing is added to the image.

Why use AI Headshot Generator
What AI Headshot Generator does
Turn a plain selfie into a studio headshot.
ID and application safe
The plain-white style gives flat even light with no shadow behind the head, which is what passport, visa and application photos are usually rejected for.
Consistent across a team
Run the same style over everyone's photos and the About page stops looking like a collage of holiday snaps. Consistency in a team grid is more noticeable than the quality of any single portrait.
Full resolution, no watermark
Downloads are the full generated resolution with nothing overlaid, so the same file works for a 200px avatar and a printed conference badge.
Retake it whenever you change
New haircut, new role, new glasses. Regenerating costs 2 credits instead of booking another session, so the photo can stay current.
Your face stays your face
Identity preservation is the whole job. Bone structure, eye shape, skin tone and the details that make you recognisable are held fixed; only clothing, lighting and background are generated.
What AI Headshot Generator changes
Turn this into a professional studio headshot: tailored business dress, even key lighting with a soft fill, a clean neutral backdrop, and a composed, confident expression.
Your face, bone structure and skin tone are held fixed on every generation — only what is described above is changed.
AI Headshot Generator for every kind of profile
The same face, styled for where the photo is actually going. A leadership page, a hiring portal and a conference badge all want different things from a portrait.
Applications and official documents
Plain white backdrop, flat shadowless light, neutral expression, head square to camera — the specification most ID photos are checked against.
Creative and agency profiles
A textured or coloured backdrop and characterful directional light, for fields where looking identical to a bank's website is the wrong signal.
Speaker and press kits
Higher-contrast lighting and generous negative space around the head, so an event page can crop it square or wide without cutting into your face.
Team directories at scale
One style applied across dozens of photos taken on different phones in different rooms, which is the usual state of an internal directory.

Benefits
The free tools stay free
Compress, convert, crop, resize, rotate and the rest run on your device, unlimited, with no account and no credit cost.
Your original is never modified
Every result is a new image. The file you uploaded stays exactly as it was on your device.
Cheap enough to iterate
Packs start at $2. Generating the same image three ways and keeping the best is the intended workflow, not an expensive mistake.
Ready in about a minute
Upload, choose, generate. The slow parts of a headshot — scheduling, travel, wardrobe, waiting on the retoucher — are removed entirely.
Costs a fraction of a session
A pack of credits starts at $2 and covers several attempts. A studio sitting starts in the low hundreds and covers one.
What people use it for
What it is mainly used for
Turn a plain selfie into a studio headshot. Pick a style, choose a model, and download the result at full resolution with no watermark.
Academic and research pages
Faculty directories are usually an assortment of decades-old photos. A current one, consistently lit, stands out immediately.
Refreshing a photo that has aged
If the portrait predates a haircut, glasses or a decade, the mismatch is the first thing anyone who meets you notices.
A LinkedIn photo that is not a cropped wedding shot
The most common professional headshot on the internet is someone cut out of a group photo. This replaces it in a minute.
A new starter who joined remotely
Nobody is flying someone in for a photographer. One selfie matched to the company style closes the gap in the team grid.
Prompt ideas
You do not need to write a prompt at all — the style presets cover most cases. If you want something specific, keep the brief short and name only what you care about: the clothing, the background, the light and the expression.
Say what to leave alone
"Do not change the hairstyle or hair length" is worth adding when the current cut is part of how you look.
Be concrete, not complimentary
"Soft light from the left, plain grey background" gives the model something to act on. "Beautiful, high quality, 8k" gives it nothing at all.
Change one thing at a time
If a result is close, edit a single detail and run it again. Rewriting the whole prompt gives you an unrelated image and no information about what the change did.
Say what must not change
A short exclusion — "do not change the face", "keep the label text" — is often more effective than any amount of positive description.
Keep it short
Three or four specific clauses beat a paragraph. Long prompts dilute every instruction in them, including the one you cared about.
Name the framing
Close-up, head and shoulders, full body, centred, offset. Framing decides what the image is actually of.
More about AI Headshot Generator
Upload a clear selfie, choose the style that matches where the photo will be used, and generate. Each generation costs 2 credits from a one-time pack, so trying four or five variations to find the one you actually like is the expected way to use it, not an expensive mistake.
The unglamorous truth about profile photos is that most people are using one they do not like. It is a cropped wedding photo, or a selfie taken in a car, or a portrait from a job two roles ago — kept because replacing it meant organising something. AI Headshot Generator removes the organising.
There is a reason recruiters and clients form an impression from a portrait before reading a word: it is the only part of a profile that is processed instantly. An evenly lit photo against a neutral background reads as competent, and a dim phone snap reads as indifferent, regardless of what the text underneath says.
Getting the best result from AI Headshot Generator
- If one model ignores part of your instruction, switch to the other and run it again.
- Keep the original file. It is a better base for the next attempt than a generated image is.
- For a matching set, keep the same source photo and style and change only one variable.
- Nothing you upload is published, shared or added to a gallery — but do not upload anything you would not want to leave your device at all.
- The free on-device tools — compress, convert, crop, resize, rotate — cost no credits, so use them for mechanical work.
- If a result is nearly right, say what is wrong with it in the next run rather than starting over.
- Start with a front-facing photo where both eyes are clearly visible — a slight angle is fine, a strong three-quarter turn is not.
- Soft, even light beats bright light. Facing a window on an overcast day is close to ideal.
