Create LinkedIn Headshots

Generate clean, modern headshots that feel credible on LinkedIn, resumes, speaker bios, and team pages.

What makes a strong headshot

Professional headshots work best when they look calm, credible, and easy to place in real business contexts. That usually means simple backgrounds, good light, natural skin texture, and styling that feels current but not flashy.

Best setup

If you want the headshot to look like you, start by uploading your own photos. If you want a fictional professional persona, create a character with a grounded look and then keep the prompts restrained.

Recommended variations

Generate a few versions instead of one. A neutral backdrop version is useful for LinkedIn, a softer lifestyle version works well for speaker bios, and a more formal crop can be reused on company pages.

Prompt ideas

Mention the kind of role or vibe you want, like founder, consultant, recruiter, or creative director. That helps guide wardrobe and posture without needing a huge prompt.

Common mistakes

Avoid over-retouched prompts, dramatic fashion language, or backgrounds that pull attention away from the face. Headshots usually improve when the prompt sounds more like a photographer than a designer.

Next step

After you generate a few strong options, use Studio for small refinements and keep the final images in Media so they are ready for future bios and brand assets.
