Will Headshot Generator work on your photo?

Match what is wrong with your image to what this tool can realistically do. Where it cannot help, the row says which tool can.

• A phone selfie in a t-shirt

  Good match

  This is the normal case. Whatever you are wearing gets replaced by the outfit you pick.

• A candid where you are laughing

  Good match

  Pose and expression are recomposed to headshot convention — even closed eyes get opened. The likeness is a little looser than a photo where they are already visible, so run two or four.

• Sunglasses, a cap or a hand on your chin

  Partial improvement

  Whatever covers your face has to be invented underneath, and invented features are the ones that stop looking like you.

• A hard side profile

  Partial improvement

  Squaring a profile to the camera means reconstructing the half of your face that was never in the photo. It works, but do not expect a close likeness.

• A full-body shot from across the room

  Use another tool

  There are not enough pixels on the face to work with. Crop to head and shoulders first, then run it through AI Image Upscaler

• A passport, visa or ID photo

  Use another tool

  Governments require an unretouched photograph of you and reject AI-generated or AI-altered images. This is for LinkedIn, a company page or a CV — not for documents.

Why Headshot Generator on AI Image Tools

• Nothing to write

  Six outfits and five backdrops as dropdowns. Business suit on a grey studio backdrop is the default, so the first run needs one upload and one click.

• A photograph, not an illustration

  The instruction forbids stylized rendering outright. That one sentence is the whole difference between this and the Avatar Maker.

• Your face and your age

  No beautifying, slimming or de-ageing. Lines, grey hair and skin texture are held on purpose — a headshot that does not look like you is worse than no headshot.

• Four tries, not one

  A single pass over one selfie does not land every time. Run four and keep the closest instead of paying again for each miss.

How to use Headshot Generator

1. Step 1

   Upload one selfie

   Front-facing and evenly lit is ideal, but a normal phone selfie is what this is built for. Do not dress up — the outfit is applied afterwards.

2. Step 2

   Pick an outfit and a backdrop

   Two dropdowns. They default to a business suit on a grey studio backdrop, which is what most people want.

3. Step 3

   Run two or four, keep one

   Compare and download the closest. Credits are charged per image and only when an image actually comes back.

Get a better result

A few choices before you upload change the output more than any setting on this page.

• Eyes visible beats eyes shut

  Closed eyes are reconstructed rather than kept, and reconstructed features are where likeness goes. Any photo where your eyes are open gives a closer result.

• Do not dress up first

  Uploading a photo of yourself already in a suit gains nothing — the outfit is replaced either way. Pick the photo with the best-lit face, not the best clothes.

• One face per photo

  Crop yourself out of a group shot before uploading. The model works on whoever it finds, and with two faces the result is a coin flip.

• Need a transparent version?

  Run the headshot through Background Remover

What happens to the photo you upload

You are about to hand us a picture of your face. Here is exactly where it goes.

• We don't keep the photo you upload

  Your selfie goes straight to the model that processes it. It is never copied into our own storage — only the finished image is.

• Results live on our servers, not the model's

  The model provider deletes its copies after 14 days. Every result is mirrored to our own storage first, so what you made is still there next month.

• Delete means the file, not just the row

  Removing an image in My Creations deletes the stored file itself. It is not hidden from a list while quietly staying on disk.

• One caveat, stated plainly

  A result's URL is not behind a login, so a link you share keeps working for whoever has it — that is what makes sharing possible. Nothing you make is listed in any public gallery. Full detail in the privacy policy.
