How to Create a Professional Headshot Online (Free)

You don't need a photography studio to get a professional headshot. With HeadshotGen, you can create one from your phone in under a minute — completely free.

Step 1: Take a Clear Selfie

Use your phone's front camera. Stand near a window or in good lighting. Keep your face centered and clearly visible. A plain background helps, but HeadshotGen's AI will replace it anyway.

Step 2: Go to HeadshotGen

Visit headshotgen.ai/generate on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone. No app download required. HeadshotGen is entirely browser-based.

Step 3: Upload Your Photo

Click the upload area and select your selfie. HeadshotGen accepts standard image formats (JPG, PNG). Only one photo is needed — unlike other tools that require 10–20 images.

Step 4: Choose a Style

Select from 10 professional styles: Corporate, LinkedIn, Creative, Startup, Executive, Friendly, Academic, Minimalist, Real Estate, or Medical. Each style adjusts lighting, background, and attire automatically.

Step 5: Generate & Download

Click generate and wait 15–30 seconds. HeadshotGen's AI creates your professional headshot while preserving your exact facial features. Download the result and use it on LinkedIn, resumes, websites, or anywhere else.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Good lighting matters. Natural light from a window gives the best results.
  • Face the camera directly. Front-facing photos work best.
  • Remove sunglasses and hats. Let the AI see your face clearly.
  • Use a recent photo. The headshot should look like current you.
