  2. Upload it with a prompt. Paste one of the prompts below into Gemini along with the photo.
  3. Fix one detail at a time. Ask for a different jacket or background in a follow-up message instead of starting over.

Tips for a headshot that looks like you

  • Use a recent photo. Ask for no age changes.
  • Keep your real hairstyle and glasses if you normally wear them.
  • Choose a plain or softly blurred background so the focus is on your face.
  • Ask for "natural skin texture, no beauty filter" to avoid the plastic AI look.

FAQ

Can I make an AI headshot for free?

Yes. Upload a clear selfie to the Gemini app and paste one of the headshot prompts on this page. It's free within Gemini's usage limits. If you want ready-made headshot styles without writing prompts, Rizz AI is a free download with one-tap Professional Headshots and Power Suit styles.

Will an AI headshot actually look like me?

It will if you start with a sharp, front-facing selfie in even light and tell the AI to keep your face, skin tone and hairline exactly the same with no beauty filter. Avoid sunglasses, hats and heavy filters in the original photo.

Is it OK to use an AI headshot on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn asks for a photo that looks like you. An AI headshot that keeps your real face, hair and skin tone and only improves the clothes, lighting and background is generally fine; avoid versions that change your features or age.

How many selfies do I need for an AI headshot?

With Nano Banana 2.1 one good selfie is enough. Unlike older headshot generators, there's no model training step that needs 10 to 20 photos.

AI headshot or a professional photographer?

A photographer is still best for big moments like a company website or press kit. For LinkedIn, CVs, email signatures and work profiles, an AI headshot from a good selfie is fast, cheap and usually good enough.
