Free AI Headshot Generator

A free AI headshot generator is an online tool that turns a regular selfie into a professional headshot at no cost. You upload a photo of your face, and the AI re-creates you as if you had sat for a studio session: business clothing, a clean backdrop and soft, flattering light. Photolaria's free AI headshot generator gives you a headshot for LinkedIn, your résumé, Slack or your email signature – all it asks for is your email, never a card.

Yes – Photolaria's AI headshot generator is free to use with no hidden costs. One selfie in, six headshot styles out, and one of those headshots is yours to download in HD without paying. No trial quietly turns into a subscription, and nothing is charged later. The other five are watermarked previews – unlocking them is optional and costs a single $19 payment.

One: your first headshot, free in HD (1024×1024) and ready to use right away. It carries only a small Photolaria logo in the corner – no watermark across your face. It is also made in 4K, and that version unlocks with the full set. The five other styles appear as watermarked previews, so you see the whole set before deciding whether to unlock it.

Neither. The free AI headshot generator only asks for your email address: a one-time code signs you in, your headshots wait on a private results page for 30 days, and we let you know when they are ready. Payment details are only needed if you unlock the full set.

Just one – and you can add up to two more for a closer likeness. A single, recent selfie where your face is clearly visible is all the AI headshot generator needs. Look at the camera, stand in soft light (a window in front of you is ideal) and keep your face uncovered. Skip sunglasses, beauty filters, group photos and shots taken from far away.

Yes. Your free headshot works anywhere a professional headshot is expected: LinkedIn, résumés and job applications, email signatures, Slack or Teams, business cards, conference badges, your company's team page and your social profiles. The HD file crops neatly to a square for round profile frames.

Yes – both come from the same AI at the same quality. The free tier gives you six headshot styles, one of them to keep in HD. The full set, $19 paid once, unlocks all 20 headshots in HD without watermarks, your first headshot in 4K, a wider range of outfits and backdrops, and 120 headshot credits for up to 20 more headshots or edits – or 2K and 4K versions of your favorites. The headshots you made for free are included.

Yes. Your frames are part of how people recognize you, so the AI keeps them in every headshot – and removes reflections from the lenses by default, so no glare hides your eyes. Prefer no glasses, or a different frame? Choose on the review page before you generate.

Yes. The AI changes the lighting around you, not the color of your skin – it won't lighten or darken you. How much it smooths is your choice: Natural keeps your texture and lines, Polished gives smooth, even skin. A selfie taken in even light gives it the most accurate starting point.

Of course. A hijab, turban or any other head covering you wear in the selfie is carried into each headshot. Simply upload a photo in the covering you want to be seen in.

They're made to look real. The AI keeps your actual features and renders natural skin texture under studio-style light, so the result looks like a photographer took it rather than like an app filter. You see six headshots of your own face before paying anything – and if the full set doesn't look like you, our redo-or-refund guarantee covers it.

Yes – on professional profiles, résumés, company websites, business cards and marketing material. Usage rights are spelled out in full in our Terms.

On Photolaria, yes. Your selfie and headshots are kept in a private gallery that only you can open – we never publish them. Our AI providers receive your photos only to make your headshots and may not sell or publish them. A single button deletes everything from Photolaria whenever you like, and free sets you don't unlock are deleted after 30 days. More in the Privacy policy.

$19, paid once (excluding VAT), for all 20 headshots in HD (1024×1024) without watermarks, your first headshot in 4K, a range of outfits and backdrops, and 120 headshot credits for up to 20 more headshots or edits – up to 40 headshots in total. The headshot credits also cover 2K and 4K versions and stay valid for 30 days after purchase. There is no subscription and nothing renews. If the headshots don't look like you, let us know within 14 days and we will redo them or refund you in full – see the Refund policy.
