# 3. Best AI Headshot Generators in 2026 鈥?Professional Portraits Without a Photoshoot
## Quick Verdict
– **Try It On** 鈥?Best overall quality, most natural results
– **Remini** 鈥?Best for upgrading existing photos, not generating new ones
– **HeadshotPro** 鈥?Best for corporate teams and consistency across groups
## Try It On
This is the current market leader for a reason. Their headshot quality keeps getting better.
– **Styles** 鈥?100+ professional backgrounds (corporate, creative, casual)
– **Realism** 鈥?Nearly indistinguishable from real photos. The “AI look” is minimal
– **Processing time** 鈥?About 2 hours for a full set
– **Results** 鈥?100+ headshots per session
– **Pricing** 鈥?$35 for a single session, $89 for unlimited (annual)
**Best for:** LinkedIn, corporate websites, professional profiles
**Downside:** Two-hour wait is annoying. Also, they recently raised prices.
## Remini
If you already have a decent photo but it looks old, blurry, or poorly lit:
– **AI enhancement** 鈥?Sharpens low-res photos impressively
– **AI headshot generator** 鈥?Less control over backgrounds than Try It On
– **Face consistency** 鈥?Generates more variations of your actual face
– **Pricing** 鈥?Free (basic enhancement), $9.99/week (way too expensive for what it is)
**Best for:** Fixing existing photos, not generating new ones
**Downside:** The subscription pricing is predatory. $40/month for something you’ll use once.
## HeadshotPro
The corporate solution. If you need 50 employees to have matching headshots:
– **Team workflow** 鈥?Send a link, everyone uploads selfies, gets consistent results
– **Retouching** 鈥?Manual retouching option (real humans) for perfect results
– **Diversity handling** 鈥?Handles different skin tones, hair types, and accessories well
– **Pricing** 鈥?$29/person for a team (cheaper per head at scale)
**Best for:** Companies, teams, anyone needing multiple people with consistent branding
**Downside:** Per-person pricing adds up for small teams. Not worth it for individuals.
## The Real Trick: Using Multiple Services
I’ve tested this. Here’s the workflow that gets the best results:
1. **Send your selfies to Try It On** (get 100+ options)
2. **Pick the best 10**, run them through **Remini** for extra sharpening
3. If you’re doing headshots for a team, use **HeadshotPro** after Try It On for consistency
## What About Midjourney for Headshots?
You can generate headshots in Midjourney, but they look like Midjourney headshots. Same generic “AI glow” that professionals can spot immediately.
For LinkedIn or company website, use dedicated headshot tools. They’re trained specifically on headshot photography data and look much more natural.
## Cost Comparison
| Service | Individual Cost | Team (10 people) |
|———|—————-|——————-|
| Try It On | $35 | $350 |
| HeadshotPro | N/A (team-only) | $290 |
| Remini | $9.99/week | N/A |
| Professional Photographer | $300-800 | $1500-5000 |
**Savings:** Even HeadshotPro at $29/person is 10x cheaper than a real photographer. The quality gap? Barely noticeable on a phone screen.
## The One Thing They Still Get Wrong
Hands. If your headshot includes hands (hands on chin, crossed arms), look closely at the fingers. Count them. AI headshots still mess this up occasionally. Crop just above the chest and you won’t have this problem.

*I’ve been using Try It On for my own profiles since early 2025. The key is to upload 15-20 high-quality selfies, not the minimum 5-10. More source photos = better results.*
