How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for executive headshot editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Transform this into a professional executive headshot with authoritative lighting and sophisticated background.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Use a well-lit face photo — the AI handles background and professional styling.

  3. Review the result

    Zoom in on facial details — check that skin tones look natural, edges blend seamlessly, and no artifacts appear around the hairline, jawline, or eyes. Use the before/after slider to compare.

  4. Refine if needed

    If specific facial features need adjustment — asymmetric eyes, unnatural skin smoothing, or hairline artifacts — tap markers on those spots and describe the fix. Fine-tune until the result looks like a natural photo.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Career Advancement

A polished executive headshot signals competence and approachability — critical for LinkedIn, company directories, and conference speaker bios.

Common Scenarios

  • Updating your LinkedIn profile with a executive headshot that reflects your current role
  • Providing a professional executive photo for an internal company directory or 'About Us' page
  • Submitting a speaker or panelist headshot for an upcoming executive industry event

Best Practices

  • Use a plain or softly blurred background — avoid busy environments that pull focus from your face
  • Wear solid colors typical of your industry; avoid loud patterns that distract on small thumbnails
  • Ensure the crop is head-and-shoulders — the standard framing for executive headshots
📷

Industry-Specific Requirements

Many executive roles have specific headshot standards for directories, licensing boards, or institutional profiles.

Common Scenarios

  • Meeting association or licensing board photo requirements for executive professionals
  • Preparing a headshot for a executive firm website that matches the team's visual style
  • Creating a executive photo for a professional directory or industry publication

Best Practices

  • Research your specific executive organization's photo guidelines before editing — some require formal attire or specific backgrounds
  • Keep the expression confident yet approachable — avoid overly casual or overly stiff poses
  • Match the lighting and background style of existing team photos if the headshot will appear alongside colleagues
📷

Personal Branding

Build a recognizable personal brand as a executive with a consistent, high-quality headshot across all platforms.

Common Scenarios

  • Creating a signature executive headshot for coaching, consulting, or freelance profiles
  • Using the same professional executive photo across LinkedIn, personal website, and email signature
  • Refreshing an outdated executive headshot without booking a new photo session

Best Practices

  • Use the same headshot everywhere — consistency builds recognition and trust
  • Choose lighting that flatters your features: soft, diffused light minimizes harsh shadows
  • If you already have a good selfie, the AI can transform it into a executive-grade headshot

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Transform this into a professional executive headshot with authoritative lighting and sophisticated background, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Background not fully uniform

Why: Parts of the original background are showing through or the new background has visible gradients.

Try: Regenerate with 'clean, perfectly uniform solid background with no gradients or shadows'
Try This →

Tip: Use a well-lit face photo — the AI handles background and professional styling.

Skin retouching looks overdone

Why: The AI applied too much smoothing, creating an artificial plastic look.

Try: Add 'subtle, natural skin retouching that preserves pores and texture' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Say 'professional but natural retouching' to keep skin texture while removing blemishes.

Lighting on face looks flat

Why: The professional lighting setup removed the natural depth and dimension from the face.

Try: Try 'professional headshot lighting with natural shadows for dimension and depth'
Try This →

Tip: Mention a lighting style: 'Rembrandt lighting' or 'soft butterfly lighting' for more dimensionality.
