What is an AI headshot?
An AI headshot is a professional profile photo generated from your own selfies by an image model, instead of shot by a photographer in a studio.
You upload 8–15 casual photos of your face. An identity-preserving model learns your specific features — eyes, nose, jawline, hairline — then renders you in professional settings: a formal suit, business-casual office look, a clean studio backdrop, or an outdoor portrait. The result is a set of LinkedIn headshots, corporate headshots and resume photos that look like a sharper version of you, not a different person.
AI headshots exist because a traditional shoot is slow and expensive — booking, travel, a $150–$300 session fee, then days of waiting for edits. AI compresses that to a few minutes and a one-time payment, while you keep every image.
