9 Killer AI Headshot Generators That Are So Realistic, They Feel Illegal to Use

11 min readApr 29, 2025

Let’s be honest — getting a professional headshot used to be a long, expensive, and annoying process.

You had to dress up, find a good photographer, book a slot, pay a few thousand bucks, and then wait days (sometimes weeks) just to get your final photos.

Painful, right?

But thanks to AI, this process has changed completely.

Now, all you need is an AI headshot generator.

Just upload a few of your best selfies, pay a couple of dollars, and in an hour or two, you’ll have stunning, professional-looking headshots ready to go.

Yes, it’s really that easy.

The best part? Over the past few months, I’ve tested 30+ AI headshot generators to find the best ones.

And today, I’m sharing the 9 best AI headshot generators I’ve found. Honestly, these AI headshot generators are so good, they almost feel illegal to know about.

Note: I tried a number of free AI headshot generators, and I found out that none of them generated realistic headshots, so I shifted to the paid ones, and that’s what I am going to talk about.

With that said, let’s start.

1. BetterPic

Now, the next AI headshot generator I want to talk about is BetterPic, and they have generated more than 28.6 million AI headshots so far.

They claim that they are the most photorealistic and customizable AI headshot generator out there, so I went ahead to try it out.

Getting started is actually simple.

You just need to visit their website and click on the button “Get your headshots now” to create your account.

You then have the option to generate headshots as an individual or for a team.

And then you can generate your AI headshots within 3 steps.

I chose the “Expert” plan, selected 6 different styles, and then uploaded my selfies.

Here’s what it generated:

Insane, right?

Sure, I can further edit the AI headshots the way I want, but I don’t think I need to.

2. Forge Headshots

Recently, I tried this AI headshot generator, and I need to say, it generates the most realistic, professional-looking AI headshots within minutes.

I’m talking about Forge Headshots.

And the best part? It’s the only one that generated most of the AI headshots look like me — realistic and high-quality — and it did it all in just 15 minutes.

But how do you get started?

You just need to visit their website and click on the “Create your headshots now” button. Then, add your email and get started by entering your personal info.

You see, it collects all your data so the AI can clearly understand what you look like.

Next, you just need to upload some of your best selfies, and then make the payment.

That’s all.

I’ve selected the “Premium” plan, which generated 200 professional headshots in 10 different styles within 15 minutes.

Here are some of the outputs:

Insane, right?

Not only that, but I’ve tested it in different ways by uploading some of my worst photos to see how well it could generate AI headshots. You can read more about it here:

3. Aragon AI

Now, the next AI headshot generator I want to talk about is Aragon AI.

The team says they are the #1 ranked AI headshot company, and they grew from $0 to $10 million per year in just 2 years, with only 9 people on the team.

The getting started process is actually easy.

You just need to visit their website and click on the button “Create your headshots now”.

It will then ask a number of questions about your gender, age, hair color, ethnicity, body type, and more, and finally, you need to upload at least six images of yourself.

Lastly, select the package you want and make the payment.

And then you will receive your AI headshots within an hour or two, depending on the package you choose.

Here are some of the outputs it generated for me:

4. AI SuitUp

Well, this one’s easily my favorite — and it has already generated over 30 million AI headshots for users worldwide.

I’m talking about AI SuitUp.

What makes it stand out? Their entire focus is on one thing — turning your selfies into stunning, professional headshots. And if you’re not happy with the results, they’ve got a 30-day money-back guarantee.

But how to get started?

Well, I just needed to visit their website and click the ‘Generate 50+ AI Headshots Now’ button.

That took me straight to their pricing page. I picked a plan, hit continue, and I was in.

I went with the Ultimate plan since I wanted HD-quality 150 AI headshots in just an hour. Of course, you can go with whichever plan works best for you.

Once I made the payment, the rest of the process was super smooth.

All I had to do was fill in a few quick details (as shown above), upload some good-quality selfies, and hit confirm.

And here are the AI headshots it generated for me:

5. Fiverr AI Headshot Service

Now, some of you may want to generate AI headshots from the experts, and not from AI tools.

So for that, I suggest you use the Fiverr AI Headshot Service, where you can get your AI headshots starting from just $10.

But why Fiverr? Because I’ve personally tried a number of freelancing platforms, and out of all of them, Fiverr is the one that stands out.

It’s in your budget, a trusted platform, and the freelancers actually deliver realistic & professional AI headshots.

Want to get started? Simply visit Fiverr and search for “ai headshot generation”.

You’ll instantly see a number of experts, each with their own unique style, pricing, and ratings — just pick the one you like the most based on ratings and reviews.

Well, I’ve hired two experts to generate AI headshots for me, and I chose them purely based on their rating and past work.

And here are some of the outputs:

If you want, here are some of the best freelancers that you can hire to generate AI headshots for you:

6. HeadshotPro

Now, let’s talk about another cool AI headshot generator that has already generated close to 18 million AI headshots so far.

I’m talking about HeadshotPro, and getting started with it is just as easy as we’ve seen in the previous examples.

All you need to do is visit their website and click on the “Create your headshots now” button.

It’ll walk you through a few quick questions, and once you make the payment, the magic begins.

After that, you simply upload 15 of your best selfies, choose the styles you want your headshots in — and you’re all set.

Here are some of my AI headshots generated by HeadshotPro:

Insane, right?

7. Profile Bakery

Well, to be honest, when I was trying “Profile Bakery”, I didn’t liked their landing page — it just wasn’t appealing compared to other AI headshot generator websites.

And that’s exactly why I didn’t want to proceed further.

But since I had to write this post and cover most of the popular AI headshot generators, I decided to give it a try anyway.

Surprisingly, the output was way beyond my expectations.

You see, the AI headshots are literally high quality and super realistic. I honestly didn’t expect that from a site with such a basic landing page.

The process is simple:

  • Just visit their website and click on the “Start Now” button.
  • Then upload some of your best selfies, select your gender, choose a style, and pick a pricing plan.
  • That’s it — in just 2 to 3 hours, you’ll receive your AI headshots.

8. StudioShot

I need to be honest — most of the AI headshot generators we’ve talked about so far don’t let you modify your AI headshots for free.

They either give you just one edit or ask you to pay extra for changes.

And that’s where I came across StudioShot, which offers a game-changing feature: You get unlimited touchups after your AI headshots are generated for free.

Here’s how to get started:

Just visit their website and click on the “Create your Headshot” button.

Then go for “Order Individual Headshot” and choose the package you want.

The best part?

All three packages include unlimited edits and outfit changes, so you can pick whichever one suits you best.

Next, select the style you like and upload your best selfies to generate your AI headshots.

Here are some of the AI headshots it generated for me:

Well, I don’t even think I need to edit them — they’re literally insane and look so realistic.

9. InstaHeadshots

Now, this is another AI headshot generator — just like Forge Headshots — that can create your AI headshots in as little as 15 minutes.

I’m talking about InstaHeadshots, and so far, it has already generated close to 15 million professional headshots for users around the world.

And the getting started process?

It’s pretty much the same as the others we’ve talked about.

Just head over to their website and click on the “Create your Headshots” button.

Then, simply create an account, choose a package, and upload your images to start generating your AI headshots.

Here are the AI headshots it generated for me:

The only thing to keep in mind — it’s a bit more expensive than some of the other AI headshot generators we covered earlier.

Hope you like it.

That’s it — thanks.
