The AI headshot generator that only shows you the keepers

An AI headshot generator is a tool that learns what you look like from a handful of ordinary selfies, then renders new photographs of you in a studio setting you pick - a different backdrop, a different outfit, controlled lighting. There is no camera and no photographer involved. The output is a newly generated image rather than a retouched version of the photo you uploaded, which is why the wardrobe you happen to be wearing in the selfie is irrelevant.

One works. Three is better, and three is the maximum: every reference photo is sent again with each image the shoot generates, so a fourth would cost something on every shot and add almost nothing. Variety of angle matters more than volume - and the cap is also how little of your face data exists here at all.

Package turnaround targets range from two to five minutes because images can generate in parallel. Actual completion time varies with the selected pack, provider, and current queue.

Likeness is the only thing we score the headshots on. Every generated image is compared against your uploads, and anything that does not resemble you is discarded and refunded before you see it. If a whole shoot misses, we re-run it on a different engine for free.

Packs here start at $19 for up to 20 headshots, and $29 buys up to 40 - bought once rather than subscribed to. For comparison, a local photographer typically charges somewhere between $150 and $400 for a session that produces three or four frames you would genuinely publish.

You can generate one professional headshot here at no cost with an account, and no card is required. It runs through the same pipeline as the paid packs - the same likeness scoring, the same deletion window - so it is an honest preview rather than a watermarked demo.

Five things, in roughly this order. Does it score results against your actual face, or hand you everything it made? Does it give money back for images that missed? Are your uploads excluded from model training, in writing? Is there a stated deletion window you can trigger early? And what resolution do you actually receive - a 512-pixel thumbnail is not a headshot you can print.

The strong ones read as ordinary studio photography, and the weak ones are obvious - which is precisely why the shortlist exists. We are also straightforward about the provenance: every delivered image carries embedded content credentials identifying it as AI-generated.

Yes. LinkedIn asks that your profile photo be a likeness of you, and likeness is the one thing this whole pipeline is built to enforce - anything that stops looking like you never reaches you. Some people also mention in their profile that the photo is AI-generated; the embedded content credentials record it either way.

No, and it matters enough to say plainly. Passport, visa and most government ID applications require an unaltered photograph taken by a camera; a generated image is not acceptable and can invalidate the application. Use our free passport photo size tool to crop a real photo to the exact dimensions instead - it gets the measurable part right, but only the issuing authority decides whether a photo is accepted.

Never. Your uploads generate your headshots and nothing else. They are permanently deleted after 30 days, or immediately if you press the delete button.

Images rejected by likeness scoring are removed and their credits are restored. A low-scoring shoot can qualify for a free re-shoot. Eligible purchase refunds follow the Refund Policy.

No. Whatever you are wearing in the upload is replaced by the outfit you choose. A plain t-shirt in good light beats a suit in a dark room every time.

The headshot packs are one-time purchases with no renewal. Subscriptions exist for people who need headshots regularly, but nothing auto-enrols you.

Yes, and it is what team plans are built for. An admin locks a backdrop and outfit style, invites everyone by email or CSV, and downloads the finished set as a ZIP. New hires generate against the same style so they match from day one.
