Here are the key steps to create AI-generated professional headshots:
-
Upload 10-20 photos of yourself as "seed photos" to give the AI a good idea of what you look like. The photos should be of just you from the shoulders up, looking directly at the camera.
-
Select an AI headshot generator website like Fotor, HeadshotPro, or Media.io. Most charge $10-$30 for the service.
-
Choose your preferred headshot style (e.g. business, creative, glamorous) and any other preferences like background, facial expression, etc.
-
The AI algorithms will then generate 50-120 photos of you based on the seed photos and your preferences. This takes anywhere from 20 minutes to a few days depending on the service.
-
Review the generated headshots and select the best ones. Typically only about 10% of the photos will look realistic enough to use.
-
Download your chosen AI-generated headshots and use them for your LinkedIn profile, website, social media, etc.
Some key things to keep in mind:
- Provide the AI with at least a few professional photos in addition to selfies for better results
- AI headshots can have issues with accuracy like exaggerated features, inaccurate proportions, and racial biases
- Ensure the headshot still looks like you to maintain authenticity
While AI headshots are convenient and affordable, they shouldn't be used deceptively. Use them to supplement your professional photos, not replace them entirely. With some trial and error, you can get great AI-generated headshots to boost your online presence.
