How to Create Your Headshot

1. Take a Good Selfie

For the best AI results, start with a decent input:
  • Face the camera directly.
  • Ensure your face is well-lit (natural window light is best).
  • Avoid glasses or hats if possible.
  • A plain background works best, but isn't strictly necessary.

2. Upload to the Generator

Go to the AI Headshot Generator and upload your selfie.

3. Choose Your Style

Select a style that fits your industry:
  • Corporate: Suit/Blazer, studio grey background. Best for finance, law, and enterprise.
  • Startup: Smart casual, modern office background. Best for tech and marketing.
  • Creative: Artistic lighting. Best for designers and artists.

4. Generate & Download
