Start from a sharp selfie
Face the window, keep the camera at eye level, and use the back camera if you can. A blurry or heavily filtered selfie gives the model little to hold on to.
Upload a selfie, choose the outfit and backdrop, and get a clean headshot that still looks like you. Add more photos of yourself for a closer likeness.
Turn a selfie into a professional headshot with AI. Pick the outfit and backdrop, keep your own face, and generate in minutes. First run free, no studio.
Upload at least one reference image before generating.
All four accept your selfie as a reference. They differ in how closely they keep a face, so run the same selfie through two and compare.

The risk with AI headshots is a polished stranger. These points keep your face in the picture while the rest gets the studio treatment.

Face the window, keep the camera at eye level, and use the back camera if you can. A blurry or heavily filtered selfie gives the model little to hold on to.

End the prompt with "keep my face, hair, and likeness exactly the same". It is the clause that does the most for a recognisable result.

Upload up to five shots of yourself from different angles and say "images 1 to 3 are the same person". More angles give the model a better idea of your face.

A single clear brief, such as "navy blazer, white shirt, light grey backdrop", is far more reliable than a list of options. Run it again for the next one.

Warm, softly lit portraits suit most professional profiles. For a formal site, ask for a neutral expression and a plain backdrop; for a creative one, loosen up the clothing.

Heavy smoothing and slimming make the photo look unlike you in person. Ask for natural skin and keep it honest, since people will meet you after seeing it.

Zoom in on the eyes, teeth, ears, and any jewellery. The picture is redrawn, so small details can drift, and a few platforms have rules on edited profile photos.
