The Best AI Headshot Generators in 2026

Oh wow, this tool really surprised me! The process is so smooth and well thought out, it literally took me 5 minutes to generate my headshots. I had to take 15 selfies (5 with a white background, 5 in front of a window and 5 with an outside background). It took 1h and 10min for my headshots to be generated, which is longer than most tools take, but totally worth it. The headshots are my absolute favorite by far! The AI gave me a fresh look, my skin is not perfect but looks healthy and it softened my wrinkles a tiny bit. I still look 100% like me, but maybe slightly optimized. Zero glitches, no annoying pop ups or upsells, amazing headshot photos. Literally nothing to complain about.

Cool tool! I really like the generations and it lets you choose from 17 styles! E.G. timeless (black and white), speaker, Sporty, Dating and many more, but it will also only generate one per style, which wasn't clear to me beforehand. They've added some great features for editing the images after the generation, for example you are able to animate pictures, change the background, expand or recreate the image. This feature is based on credits, for example the animation will cost 42 credits. Another crazy feature is the Human Edit, which takes 24 hours but to be honest my credits were not enough for it and since I am focusing on AI, I decided to skip it.

Although they clearly communicate that not all pictures will feel/look like you, which I understand, I'm disappointed that none of them really do. Plus, BetterPic has added more wrinkles than I have IRL to at least half of the pictures. It also doesn't help that many of the generations either show hands, which are not mine or some serious cleavage. That even minimizes the amount of pictures to choose from. I like that I was able to choose the colour of my clothes, for a colour person this is great! Also the different sceneries are nice. With my pro deaI I was able to choose 3 different styles, which consists of location, clothing style and clothing colour. It takes about 50mins for the headshot generation. Once the images are ready, you can look at them in a similar fashion to tinder: swipe right for the ones you like, discard to the left. You're also able to let AI edit a few pictures via prompt if you're on the Pro plan. I tried this feature, and it worked really well. But overall I just don't recognise myself in either of the pictures and there are tools that captured my essence, to say it in a poetic way, much better.

Proshoot seemed awesome at first, but the generated images were disappointing. I couldn't find one among the many where I completely recognise myself, where I don't have more wrinkles then IRL or a stranger's teeth. The one you see here is cute, but it's not really how I look. The setup was ok, although the tool got stuck when I uploaded about 8 images at once. I had to restart the uploading process and it worked the next time around. The headshot generation didn't take too long (approximately 30min) and I loved that part of the studio plan is to combine various outfits with backgrounds, which they both have a wide palette of. But as mentioned before, I don't like the Proshoot version of me. It also created so many versions with an enormous cleavage, obviously all of those can't be used for professional headshots. Also a bit weird: your generated images are delivered with a watermark, by removing them you agree that you are no longer eligible for refunds. And when you click the download button, it just opens the image in another window and you have to save it manually. Not very smooth.

The whole workflow here is a bit less thought-out and the dashboard less professional. Generally feel like AISuitUp is on the weaker side, but I like the generations still better than from Aragon. Once you've generated the pictures, you can't change the outfit anymore with AI SuitUp, which is possible with Aragon. It's also very weird to see that it has generated pictures with hands that look completely different to mine. And I am a bit snouty about it adding wrinkles to my cheeks, they are much softer IRL (I swear, haha).

Not my favorite headshot generator. The whole process was much more bumpy: first it only accepted 4 of my 12 submitted pictures on the first try. Then I was asked at least 3 times if my submissions were accurate. Also just before I received my photos, I had to answer where I heard from them in exchange for a 15% discount (why would I need it if I have just generated my pictures?). I wasn't able to choose my outfit and it put me into clothes I would NEVER wear. After the generation I can change them for each picture, but that's a lot of unnecessary work. The tool also added a necklace that really doesn't match my style and makes me feel like the pictures don't represent me well. Honestly, I don't like any of the pictures too much.By the way: if you sign up but don't finish your payment, you will receive an email offering you 50% off for a limited time. But only do this if you want some mediocre headshots.

This tool did not capture me at all, it actually made me look much more unfavorable. I'm actually not keen on uploading them, I don't want to be associated with this weird face, haha. I'm sorry to say, but Portrait Pal is absolutely not delivering on their promise to take a picture of how YOU look.

Fotor's headshot generator is more of a tool to play around with and for fun projects, but not really suitable to use for professional headshots. Simply because the generated images don't look like me at all. How would they if I only have to upload one picture? That just doesn't give AI enough datapoints to generate good pictures of me. Styles are rather playful, I created e.g. pictures of me as an astronaut (I couldn't resist). The really weird thing is that I look much younger on the pictures, yet I have slightly bags under my eyes. I look like a tired teenager dressed up for carnival. So if you just want play around, go for it, Fotor is very generous with their free plan.

Supawork.AI is a typical example for a free Headshot Generator: They just don't work, or at least properly. I had to answer 7 simple questions about my age, ethnicity etc. and upload between 1 and 4 selfies. Drag and Drop didn't work and the software got stuck when I accidentally uploaded 5 pictures instead of 4. So I had to start all over again and answer all questions again. The next time I only uploaded 1 picture, but the headshot generator must have been on its summer break, because it didn't generate anything for me. I tried the whole thing one more time because I'm a diligent software tester, but still nothing. So just save your time and ignore this tool.

Magic Hour is maybe fun to play around with and to see how AI turns me into a man, but it's not a tool you can actually use to generate your headshots with. There is not possibility to add any information on what type of outfit you want to wear or such. Also, since you can only upload one single source picture, the AI will have difficulty generating an image that actually looks like you.
