How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose any clear photo where your face is visible and well-lit. Selfies, vacation photos, or casual snapshots all work. The AI will transform the clothing and background while keeping your facial features natural.

    Expect: Simple transformations: 20-30 seconds. Complex changes with formal attire and background replacement: 40-60 seconds and may need one refinement.
  2. Describe what you want

    Just type what professional style you want—no marking needed. Be specific about attire like business suit or medical scrubs, background like solid grey or office setting, and mood like approachable or authoritative. The AI reads your description and transforms the entire photo accordingly.

    Tip: Include outfit color and background tone for best results: 'navy business suit, warm smile, soft grey background' works better than just 'professional look'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic LinkedIn headshot Transform into professional business headshot with navy suit, white dress shirt, confident smile, and solid grey background
    Medical professional Generate professional medical headshot wearing white doctor's coat over blue scrubs with stethoscope, clinical white background
    Corporate executive Create executive headshot in charcoal grey suit, burgundy tie, arms crossed confidently, modern office background slightly blurred
    Creative professional Transform into approachable headshot with black blazer over casual shirt, warm smile, soft-focus studio background with natural lighting
    2 more prompts
    Real estate agent Generate friendly professional headshot in light blue suit, warm welcoming smile, subtle bokeh background suggesting outdoor setting
    Academic professional Create scholarly headshot in dark blazer, thoughtful expression, library or office background with subtle bookshelves visible
  3. Review the result

    Check that the attire looks professional and fits naturally. Zoom in to verify facial features remain authentic with no over-smoothing or artificial changes. Examine the background for clean, distraction-free presentation.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    Optional step for precision control. If the AI changed something unintended like jewelry you want to keep, tap a marker on that specific area and regenerate. Most headshots work perfectly without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for refinement, not a required step. Only use them when description alone doesn't capture your specific intent.

If something looks off

The clothing or background changed but my facial expression looks different

Why: Your original photo may have had challenging lighting or an unclear expression. The AI sometimes adjusts expressions to match the professional context.

Try: Add 'maintain my exact facial expression and features' to your prompt and regenerate

Tip: Starting with a photo where you already have the expression you want gives most consistent results

The professional attire looks artificial or doesn't fit my body naturally

Why: Complex clothing transformations on challenging poses can sometimes look unrealistic, especially with crossed arms or turned shoulders.

Try: Simplify to 'professional business attire, facing camera directly' and regenerate. Use a photo where you're facing forward.

Tip: Front-facing photos with shoulders square to camera work best for clothing transformations

The background changed but some of the original setting is still visible

Why: Partial background replacement can occur when elements of your original photo overlap with where the new background should be.

Try: Add 'completely replace entire background with' to your prompt and emphasize the background description

Tip: For cleanest results, specify both the background and how it should frame you: 'solid grey background filling entire frame behind me'

My glasses, jewelry, or accessories disappeared or changed

Why: The AI may interpret accessories as part of the 'casual' elements to transform when creating professional attire.

Try: Add 'keep my original glasses and jewelry unchanged' to your prompt before describing the professional attire

Tip: List what to preserve explicitly when transforming everything else: 'maintain my glasses, add navy suit and grey background'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing what professional style I want?

No! Just describe the professional headshot style you want. The AI understands complete transformations from description alone. Only use markers if you need to preserve or adjust specific details after seeing the initial result.

How do I generate professional headshots for free?

Upload your photo and describe what professional style you want including attire, background, and mood. EditThisPic processes one free headshot generation per week with no signup required and no watermark.

Can I use these AI-generated headshots on LinkedIn or other professional platforms?

Yes. These are AI-enhanced versions of your real photo, not synthetic faces. Most professionals use them for LinkedIn, company websites, and business profiles. They're more authentic than stock photos while more polished than casual selfies.

What's the best starting photo for generating professional headshots?

Any clear photo where your face is well-lit and you're looking toward the camera works. Front-facing selfies, vacation photos, or casual portraits all transform well. Avoid extreme angles, heavy shadows, or photos where your face is partially obscured.

How realistic will my professional headshot look?

The AI maintains your natural facial features while transforming attire and background. Results look like professional photography, not artificial manipulation. However, very dramatic transformations like adding suits to photos where your shoulders aren't visible may need refinement.
