Tips for the best free AI headshot.
Your selfie shapes the result. Six things to get right before you upload.
Lighting
Face a window or stand near soft, even light. Avoid harsh overhead lights that cast shadows under your eyes or chin.
Background
Plain wall, no clutter. The AI replaces the background — but a clean one helps it understand where you end and the room begins.
Clothing
Wear what you'd wear to a meeting. Solid colors photograph better than busy patterns. The outfit you upload is the outfit you keep.
Expression
A neutral or slight smile reads better than a wide grin or a flat stare. Aim for the expression you'd want in a recruiter's first impression.
Framing
Front-facing, head and shoulders in frame, eyes on the lens.
Industry fit
Corporate? Stick to muted backgrounds and a collared shirt. Creative role? You can push styling a bit further. The seven backdrops cover both ends.
