AI headshot generator

Upload a clear photo of yourself facing the camera, choose a look, and press Make my headshot. The model keeps your face and reframes you as a head-and-shoulders portrait with a clean backdrop and studio light. Make the headshot with any DreamBench plan and download it full size.

That is the whole instruction: the same face, features, skin, hair, eyes and expression, with natural skin texture and no change to the face. Glasses, hair and beard stay as they are; it won't change a hairstyle or remove a beard, though reflections in the lenses can carry over, so tilt them away from the window. Compare it with your photo in the page.

One where you face the camera in even light, with your whole head in frame and nothing covering your face. Daylight by a window is ideal. Hats, sunglasses and heavy filters get in the way.

Clothes barely matter: the look you pick dresses you, so a T-shirt comes back as a jacket in the corporate look. Wear what shows your neck and shoulders, and take off a hat and sunglasses. If you want a smile in the headshot, smile in the selfie: the model keeps your expression as it is, and a relaxed, slight smile reads well in the small circle a profile photo gets.

Yes, when it still looks like you. The corporate look is made for profiles and company pages, and it is a portrait from your own photo, the way a retouched studio shot would be. If a recruiter or employer asks how it was made, say so.

AI headshots look fake when the skin is too smooth, the hair edges are odd or the backdrop is too clean. This tool asks for natural skin texture and your own features to keep that down, but it is still an edited picture, with the backdrop, light and clothes redrawn, so don't use it where an unedited photo is required, as passports and most ID cards do.

An iPhone's Portrait mode blurs the background and adds studio-style lighting effects, but it keeps your clothes and room. Canva offers an AI headshot generator of its own. This tool changes the backdrop, the light and the outfit to the look you pick, while keeping your face.

Yes: ChatGPT can restyle an uploaded photo as a headshot when you describe it in a chat. This page sends the photo with a fixed headshot instruction that keeps your face, and fixed head-and-shoulders framing, so you only pick the look.

One photo is enough for an AI headshot here. Upload a clear selfie facing the camera in daylight, pick a look, and the model keeps your face and reframes you as a head-and-shoulders portrait; there is no set of ten to twenty selfies to collect. Each run makes one portrait; run it again for another take or another look, and the button shows the price before you press it.

No. The framing is fixed at head and shoulders, looking at the camera, and your angle comes from the selfie, so take another selfie for another angle. The background comes with the look: corporate is plain gray, creative studio and outdoor daylight have their own backdrops, black and white has a dark one. For a chosen color behind the finished portrait, use the AI background changer.

A portrait JPEG at a fixed size, listed on this page under What you get, large enough for any profile picture upload and a small print; for a larger print, enlarge it with the AI image upscaler. DreamBench adds no watermark to the download, though the image model may embed an invisible mark of its own.

Yes, in either phone's browser, with no app to install. Pick the selfie from your camera roll, an iPhone's HEIC photo included, choose a look, press Make my headshot and download the portrait full size. Each run takes one photo, so a team makes theirs one by one with the same look.

You can make a headshot from a group photo, but of one person only: the portrait is made from the largest face, and the page warns you before the run when it finds no face or more than one, where your browser can count them. For someone else in the photo, crop to them first so their face is the largest, with their permission.

A larger selfie helps only up to a point: the photo is read at up to 1536 pixels on its long edge before the run, so a 12-megapixel selfie carries no more into the portrait than a 1536-pixel one. Sharp eyes, even light and your whole head in frame matter more than pixels; a blurry or backlit selfie gives a looser likeness.

No. Making a headshot needs a DreamBench plan, and you create an account on the way to it. The button shows each run's price in credits before you press it, and a run that fails is refunded.

Only with their permission. The tool is for your own photo or one you have the right to use; DreamBench's Terms of Use apply to what you upload. A headshot of a colleague for a team page is fine once they have agreed to it.

Each run uses 20 credits from your DreamBench plan. Starter, $9.99 a month, includes 1,100 credits a month, about 55 runs of the AI headshot generator, plus AI video. A run that fails is refunded.

Yes: a free account and a DreamBench plan. The tools are part of every plan, from Starter at $9.99 a month.

A photo up to 40 megabytes: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or another format your browser opens. A photo straight from a phone is fine, an iPhone's HEIC included: the page scales a large picture down to 2048 pixels on its long edge before the run, so the result is never larger than the page says.

Yes. Under the DreamBench Terms you may use what a tool makes for personal and commercial purposes, including advertising, monetized content and work for clients, with no separate commercial-use upgrade. The Terms don't guarantee copyright in a result or clear another person's rights in your upload, so only use photos you have the rights to.

No. DreamBench doesn't use your prompts, uploads or videos to train or fine-tune AI models, and any future training program would be opt-in.

It stays in your browser until you make a result. Then it is used to make that result and nothing else, and removed from the tool's storage after seven days along with the result. A result you keep in your library stays as long as you keep it.
