How it works

Upload your selfie

Drop your selfie into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Front-facing photos with your face clearly visible work best. Even bathroom mirror selfies or car selfies can be transformed.

Expect: Simple selfies with clear faces: 15-30 seconds. Complex lighting or busy backgrounds: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe the headshot style you want

Type your instruction: 'transform this selfie into a professional headshot with studio lighting' or 'convert to corporate headshot with a blurred office background.' Be specific about lighting style and background. No marking needed—the AI knows what to enhance.

Tip: Mention the intended use (LinkedIn, company website, resume) and the AI will optimize accordingly.

Review your professional headshot

Check the result at full zoom. Look for natural skin tones, even lighting across your face, and a clean background. Verify that important details like glasses and hair edges look natural.
Refine specific areas if needed

If certain areas need adjustment—like hair edges against the new background or lighting on one side of your face—tap markers on those spots and regenerate with a more specific prompt. This is optional; most transformations work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try the basic transformation first.

If something looks off

Skin looks too smooth or artificial

Why: The AI may over-apply smoothing when trying to achieve a professional look, especially on lower resolution selfies.

Try: enhance to professional headshot - keep natural skin texture, just improve lighting

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' or 'subtle' to your prompt prevents over-processing.

Background replacement looks fake or has visible edges

Why: Complex hair edges or accessories can be difficult to separate cleanly from the original background.

Try: Tap markers on the problem edge areas, then: fix the edges where hair meets background, blend naturally

Try This →

Tip: Markers help the AI focus on specific edge problems rather than redoing the whole image.

Lighting looks unnatural or doesn't match the new background

Why: The original selfie lighting direction may conflict with the implied lighting in the new background.

Try: adjust lighting to match the background - soft studio light from the front

Try This →

Tip: Specify lighting direction to ensure consistency between your face and the new background.

Glasses have reflections or glare issues

Why: Original selfie reflections can persist or new artificial reflections may appear during enhancement.

Try: remove glare from glasses, keep natural look

Try This →

Tip: For best results with glasses, start with a selfie that has minimal reflection.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

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

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my face or background before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'transform this selfie into a professional headshot.' The AI understands concepts like 'headshot,' 'background,' and 'lighting.' Only use markers when you need precision—like fixing specific edge areas or adjusting one part of the image.

How do I turn a selfie into a professional headshot for free?

Upload your selfie to EditThisPic and type 'transform this selfie into a professional headshot with studio lighting.' The AI enhances lighting, cleans up the background, and polishes the image for professional use. Free to try, no account needed, no watermark on your result.

Is there a free AI headshot generator that doesn't need an account?

Yes. EditThisPic transforms selfies into professional headshots without requiring signup or login. Just upload your photo, describe the headshot style you want, and download the result. No watermarks, no email required.

What's the best selfie angle for AI headshot conversion?

Front-facing selfies at eye level work best. Avoid extreme angles (looking up or down) as these are harder to convert to a traditional headshot perspective. Good lighting on your face—even smartphone flash—helps the AI produce better results.

Can I use an AI-converted headshot on LinkedIn?

Yes. Many professionals use AI-enhanced photos for LinkedIn. The key is ensuring the result still looks like you—same face, same features, just with better lighting and a cleaner background. Avoid over-processing that makes you unrecognizable.
