Professional headshots from any selfie

Upload a photo and get a professional headshot instantly. Turn any casual selfie into a polished, studio-quality portrait ready for LinkedIn, your resume, or a corporate profile. Artlist’s AI Headshot Generator delivers the result in seconds.

Your next headshot is already on your phone

You probably have a perfectly usable photo on your camera roll. The AI Headshot Generator takes that photo and turns it from a casual shot into a professional headshot.

Everything you need for the perfect headshot

Get real control over framing, format, and true-to-life accuracy, going further than any filter or crop.

Multiple angles from one upload

With just one image, you can get a set of professional headshots with different framings, from a wider portrait shot to a tighter close-up crop, so you have the right angle for every platform — without taking multiple photos.

Your face, accurately preserved

Artlist’s AI reads your unique facial structure and keeps it intact. No blur, no generic filter treatment. What you get is a professional headshot that looks like you at your best. Skin texture, expression, and natural detail are all enhanced, not erased.

One headshot for every format

Upload once and export in the format you need. Choose from a full range of aspect ratios: 1:1 for LinkedIn, 9:16 for mobile, 16:9 for website banners, and more. Your headshot works everywhere without a reshoot.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI Headshot Generator free to use?

Artlist uses a credit-based model, so you can generate professional headshots without a high upfront cost, and those same credits work across 70+ AI apps on the platform. Better value than a single-purpose tool. For more information, check out the free trial Help Center article.

What image formats and sizes does it support?

The AI Headshot Generator accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF. Outputs are available in a full range of aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, and 9:16. So your headshot works wherever you need it: LinkedIn profile photos, corporate directories, and print-ready CV documents.

What are the best use cases for the Headshot Generator?

LinkedIn is the most popular use case. A professional headshot on your profile significantly increases recruiter visibility. Beyond that, the Headshot Generator works well for resumes, company About Us pages, email signatures, speaker bios, and freelance portfolios. Anywhere a professional image represents you or your team.

Are the images I create private?

Yes. Uploaded photos and generated headshots are private to your account and never shared publicly. You can view or delete your images at any time through your Artlist account. Artlist uses secure processing pipelines and enforces strict data handling to keep your assets under your control.

How is this different from using a filter or photo editor?

Photo editors and filters adjust what’s already there. This AI Headshot Generator enhances your photo with professional lighting and generates multiple portrait framings from a single upload. The result looks like it came from a studio shoot, not a smartphone camera.
