How to Get a Free AI Headshot in 3 Steps
- 1
Upload one clear photo of yourself: facing the camera, in good light, with your face and shoulders visible and nobody else in the shot. A recent phone photo works; sunglasses and hats make the result less accurate.
- 2
Choose an outfit (Business suit, Blazer, Smart casual or Keep my outfit) and a background (Studio gray, Plain white, Modern office or Soft outdoor). The aspect ratio starts at 1:1, the square shape used for profile photos.
- 3
Generate, compare the result with your original and download the one you like. Try another outfit or background to build a small set to choose from. Paid accounts can create up to 8 images per run; free accounts create one at a time.
Tips
- •Soft, even light from a window in front of you gives the most natural skin and eyes; avoid strong overhead light or a bright window behind you.
- •If something must stay exactly as it is, such as your glasses, earrings or beard, add it in the prompt box, for example “keep my glasses”.
LinkedIn-Ready Headshots: Size and Framing
LinkedIn's help center says a profile photo must be a PNG or JPG file of up to 8 MB, between 400 × 400 and 7680 × 4320 pixels (LinkedIn Help). Headshots from this tool start as a 1:1 square and download as PNG or JPG, well above the minimum size at the default 1K resolution, so you can upload one as it is.
For framing, LinkedIn suggests your face should fill about 60% of the frame, from the top of your shoulders to just above your head, with a simple background and work clothes in solid colors (LinkedIn Talent Blog). The headshot instructions ask the model for exactly that: head and shoulders, centered, at eye level, in soft and even light.
Choose Your Outfit and Background
Business suit is the safest choice for finance, law, consulting and other formal fields. Blazer looks polished but a little less formal, which suits most office, sales and management roles. Smart casual, a neat collared shirt or plain knit top without a jacket, fits tech, creative and startup profiles. Keep my outfit leaves your own clothes in place and only tidies them up, which helps when you already wear what you want to be seen in.
Studio gray and plain white are the classic headshot backdrops and keep the attention on your face. Modern office adds a softly blurred workplace for a more personal look, and soft outdoor places you in daylight with blurred greenery, which can feel more relaxed. These are common conventions, not rules: pick what matches how people in your field present themselves.
Why Use This Free AI Headshot Generator
There is no studio to book and no waiting days for edits: you upload one photo and the result is usually ready within a couple of minutes. You choose the outfit and background yourself, and the result starts as a square image ready for a profile photo slot.
Because the headshot tool is part of an AI image editor, you can keep going afterwards: cut yourself out with the Background Remover, sharpen a soft photo with the Image Enhancer, or make a passport-style picture with the AI ID Photo Maker.
It is free to try: new accounts receive sign-up credits, and the generate button always shows the cost of a run before you start. If you want many variations, credit packs and plans are listed on the pricing page.
Tips for the Best AI Headshot Results
Start with a sharp, recent photo of only you, facing the camera at eye level. Soft daylight from a window in front of you works better than overhead lights or flash. Take off sunglasses and hats, keep hair away from your eyes and skip heavy filters, because the AI rebuilds the picture from what it can see.
Generate a few versions and compare them with your original. Pick the one that still looks like you on a normal day, which is also LinkedIn's own advice for profile photos. If your face, glasses or hairline drift, generate again or describe what to keep in the prompt box.
Privacy, Consent, and Honest Use
Only upload photos of yourself or of adults who have agreed to it, and never photos of minors. Do not use an AI headshot to impersonate someone or to mislead people about who you are.
Your upload is used to create the result you ask for, and this page does not show your uploads as examples. How uploads and results are stored, how long they are kept and how you can delete them are explained in our Privacy Policy. The data retention notice shown with your results tells you the current setting for your account.
AI Headshot Generator FAQ
Quick answers to keep your workflow moving.
Is this AI headshot generator free?
It is free to try. New accounts receive free sign-up credits, 50 for most email providers, and each headshot uses credits based on the model you pick. With Nano Banana, the default model, a headshot costs 25 credits on a free account, so those sign-up credits cover two. Accounts created with Google sign-in can also claim the daily check-in reward. The generate button shows the cost before you start, and the pricing page lists credit packs and plans.
Can I use an AI headshot as my LinkedIn profile photo?
Yes. Results start as a square image and download as PNG or JPG, which LinkedIn accepts for profile photos up to 8 MB. Choose a result that still looks like you, since LinkedIn recommends a recent photo that matches how you look.
How many headshots can I make at once?
Free accounts create one headshot per run, and paid accounts can create up to 8 per run. Each image is charged separately, and you can run the tool again with a different outfit or background to build a set to choose from.
What kind of photo should I upload?
One clear, recent photo of only you, facing the camera, in soft and even light, with your face and shoulders visible. Avoid sunglasses, hats, heavy filters, group photos and very small or blurry images.
Are my photos stored or shared?
Your upload is used to create the result you ask for and is not shown as an example on this page. Storage, retention and deletion are explained in our Privacy Policy, and the data retention notice with your results shows the current setting for your account.
Can I change the outfit or background after generating?
Yes. Pick another outfit or background and generate again; earlier results stay in your list. For a transparent background, open a result in the Background Remover.
