Drag the handle to compare. After Before Drag to Compare Before & After Business suit + grey studio presets, nothing typed. The input is a laughing candid with the eyes shut. ## 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](https://www.aiimagetools.net/tools/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. ## Every image model in one place Pick any of these from the Model menu above; the price is shown before you generate. Each name links to what that model is good at.

Do not dress up — the outfit is applied afterwards. - 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. - 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](https://www.aiimagetools.net/tools/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.

Whatever you have on. The outfit you pick is applied during generation, so a t-shirt selfie produces the same suit as a photo where you already dressed up. Choose the photo with the clearest, best-lit face instead. ### ### Can I use an AI headshot for a passport or visa? No. Passport, visa and most government ID photos must be an unretouched photograph taken of you, and AI-generated or AI-altered images are rejected. This is built for LinkedIn, a company team page, a CV or a conference bio. ### ### What size does a LinkedIn profile photo need to be? LinkedIn asks for at least 400 x 400 pixels and under 8 MB. Pick the Square size here and the default model returns roughly 992 x 992, comfortably above that. The same square crops cleanly for a CV, Slack or a company page. ### ### Will people be able to tell it is AI? Sometimes. A clean front-facing selfie in good light gives a result most people would not question; a dim, angled or partly covered face gives one they might. That is why you can run four and pick, and why the expectations table above is blunt about which inputs do not work. ### ### How does this compare to booking a photographer? A studio session is priced per session and turned around in days. Here it is 5 to 20 credits per image depending on the model, and the 20 credits you get at sign-in cover a first run. What a photographer gives you that this cannot is a real camera pointed at the real you — if the headshot is going on a book jacket, book the photographer. ### ### Does it change how I look? Only the clothes, the backdrop, the framing and the expression. Face, age, hair and skin texture are held deliberately — no slimming, smoothing or de-ageing. If a result drifts, rerun it or switch to FLUX.1 Kontext or Nano Banana, which hold a face more tightly. ### ### What happens if a generation fails? You are only charged when an image comes back. If the model fails or times out, nothing is deducted and you can simply run it again. ### ### Can I use the results commercially? You keep ownership of what you upload and what you generate, on every plan; see the Terms of Service. Free downloads carry a small watermark, paid plans download without one. ## A business headshot from the selfie you already have Upload it at the top of the page.
