AI Headshot Generator
Review facial likeness and identity-relevant details before publishing
A professional headshot costs a booking, a half-day and a fee, which is why most people are still using a cropped photo from a wedding. This direction builds the professional treatment — even light, neutral backdrop, considered framing — around a face that must remain recognisably yours, because a portrait that is not you fails at the one job it has.

Frequently asked questions
- What selfie works best for a headshot?
- Soft even light on your face — a window, not overhead lighting or a flash — with your whole head and shoulders in frame, eyes toward the camera and nothing covering your face. Sharpness matters: a soft source produces a soft portrait, because detail cannot be invented accurately.
- Will I still look like myself?
- You must, and this is the thing to check hardest. Compare the result to your source at full size and look at eye shape, nose, jaw and any distinctive features. If it has drifted into a different-looking person, reject it — a headshot that flatters but is not you causes a real problem at the first meeting.
- Is it acceptable to use an AI headshot professionally?
- Increasingly common and generally accepted where the person remains genuinely recognisable and current. Where it becomes a problem is when the portrait is materially not you — significantly younger, different build, different features. Some employers and platforms are also introducing their own rules.
- What should I check before uploading it?
- Likeness first. Then ears, glasses frames, hairline, teeth and the collar of your clothing — these are where generated portraits distort most and where colleagues notice something is off without being able to name it.
