Upload a clear face reference
Start with a recent, well-lit front-facing photo. Add side or outfit references when likeness and styling matter.

Choose a headshot template

Reference photo checklist
Start with a photo that gives the generator useful face detail.
A professional AI headshot from photo works best when the reference is current, clear, and not heavily stylized. Use this checklist before generating.
Use a recent face photo
Pick a photo that matches your current haircut, facial hair, glasses, and general presentation.
Choose clear lighting
Natural window light or soft indoor light gives the model better skin texture and facial shape cues.
Avoid sunglasses and heavy filters
Obstructions, beauty filters, and strong face edits make it harder to preserve likeness.
Keep the background simple
A clean wall or uncluttered room helps the model focus on your face instead of the scene.
Add optional angle or outfit references
A side-angle, business outfit, or full-body reference can help when crop, wardrobe, or posture matters.
Natural-looking results
How to avoid an AI headshot that feels fake.
For work profiles, restrained styling usually looks more credible than dramatic studio effects. Review each image before using it publicly.
Avoid overly glossy skin
Choose results with natural texture instead of plastic-looking retouching.
Watch exaggerated studio lighting
Soft, realistic light is safer for LinkedIn, resumes, and company directories.
Inspect face details
Check eyes, teeth, hairline, neckline, crop, and any visible hands before downloading.
Use restrained templates for work
Simple backgrounds, business casual clothing, and natural expressions usually read more professional.
