Headshot Generator

What this agent does

The Instant Headshot Generator transforms 1–3 simple selfies into professional, studio-quality headshots in under a minute. It's designed for professionals, job seekers, remote workers, founders, and anyone who needs a polished profile photo for LinkedIn, Slack, company directories, or other professional platforms — without the cost of a photographer or the complexity of AI prompt engineering.

When to use this agent

Use this agent when you need a professional-looking headshot but don't have the time, budget, or expertise to get one the traditional way. It's especially useful when you're:

Updating your LinkedIn profile before a job search
Setting up your photo for a new company directory or Slack workspace
Refreshing an outdated or low-quality profile picture
Preparing for a personal branding update

Setup

Open the agent.
Upload 1–3 selfies or photos of yourself.
Select your preferred style, background, and attire from the available presets.
Optionally adjust quality settings and the number of headshots you'd like generated.
Run the agent to generate your headshots.

Inputs

Selfie upload (1–3 photos): Upload one to three photos of yourself. These serve as the reference images the agent uses to generate your headshots.
Style preset: Choose a style for your headshot (e.g., Professional, Creative, Casual). This controls the overall look and feel of the output.
Background preset: Select a background setting for your headshot (e.g., solid color, office environment, neutral gradient).
Attire preset: Pick an attire option to define what you'll appear to be wearing in the generated headshot (e.g., business formal, smart casual).
Number of outputs: Choose how many headshot variations you'd like generated — up to four per run.
Quality toggle: Select between standard and high resolution output.
Advanced prompt editing (optional): For users who want more control, an advanced mode lets you write or edit the prompt used for generation.

How It Works

Upload your photos. You provide 1–3 selfies. These don't need to be professional — a well-lit phone selfie works great.
Choose your presets. Select from curated options for style, background, and attire. These presets replace the need for any photography or prompt-writing knowledge.
Set your preferences. Optionally adjust the number of headshots (1–4) and the quality level (standard or high resolution).
The agent generates your headshots. Using the Gemini Pro Image API, the agent processes your inputs and creates polished headshot variations. This typically takes between 15 and 60 seconds.
Content moderation runs automatically. A 3-layer moderation system checks both your uploaded photos and the generated outputs to ensure appropriate content.
Preview and select. Your generated headshots appear in a lightbox carousel where you can view each one at full size.
Download or share. Save your favorite headshots to your device or share them via email.

Output

After the agent runs, you'll receive:

Up to 4 headshot variations: Professional-grade images generated based on your selected presets and uploaded selfies. Each variation offers a slightly different take so you can pick the one you like best.
Full-size preview: A lightbox carousel that lets you view each headshot at full resolution before deciding.
Download option: Save any or all of your generated headshots directly to your device.
Email sharing: Send your selected headshots to yourself or others via email.

Your headshots are ready to use immediately on LinkedIn, Slack, company profiles, resumes, or anywhere else you need a professional photo.

Tips & Best Practices

Use a well-lit, front-facing selfie. Good lighting and a clear view of your face give the agent the best starting point. Natural light or a bright indoor setting works well. Avoid heavy shadows or backlit photos.
Upload more than one photo if possible. While the agent works with just one selfie, providing 2–3 photos from slightly different angles helps produce more accurate and natural-looking results.
Keep your background simple in the uploaded photo. A cluttered background in your selfie can affect output quality. A plain wall or simple setting is ideal.
Try multiple preset combinations. Since you can generate up to four variations per run, experiment with different style, background, and attire combinations to find the look that suits you best.
Use high resolution for final downloads. If you plan to use the headshot on a platform where image quality matters (like LinkedIn or a company website), toggle the quality setting to high resolution.

FAQ

How many photos do I need to upload?
You need at least one photo, but you can upload up to three. More photos generally lead to better, more accurate results since the agent has more reference material to work with.

How long does it take to generate my headshots?
Generation typically takes between 15 and 60 seconds, depending on the number of outputs and quality level you've selected.

Do I need any photography or AI experience to use this?
Not at all. The agent is designed for anyone — the preset menus handle all the technical complexity for you. Just upload a selfie, pick your options, and let the agent do the rest. If you do have experience and want more control, there's an advanced prompt editing mode available.

What if my photo gets blocked by content moderation?
The agent uses a 3-layer content moderation system to ensure all uploads and outputs are appropriate. If your photo is flagged, try uploading a different selfie that is a clear, straightforward photo of your face. Avoid images with potentially ambiguous or inappropriate content.

Can I generate headshots for my whole team at once?
The current version supports individual use only — one person's headshots per run. Batch or team generation is not available at this time.
