Headshot Pro is still the name people search. I used it years ago for the suit-and-yellow-background shot. Then I remade my site photo in Headshot Generator AI, which I built. Same yellow, no suit, actually smiling.
If you want the full ranking, I compared 10 AI headshot generators. This page is the Headshot Pro shortlist.
What is Headshot Pro?
Headshot Pro is Danny Postma's AI headshot tool. You upload selfies, it returns studio-style portraits for LinkedIn, a site, a deck.
Here is the Headshot Pro frame I used for years, 100% AI generated:
If you haven't tried Headshot Pro yet, you can get your headshots done in 2 hours for only $29:
Headshot Pro is a great tool, but it's not the only one. There are many other AI headshot generators that can create professional headshots from your selfies, both paid and for free.
Here are the top alternatives to Headshot Pro:
1. Headshot Generator AI
Headshot Generator AI is the one I built, and the one I used to remake the photo on this site. I pointed it at the old Headshot Pro suit shot and asked for a closer crop, no jacket, happier, looking up and right. About 45 seconds. I shipped one of the frames.
That's the difference for me. Headshot Pro gave me a clean corporate pack. This one let me iterate on my actual profile pic in a prompt box.
2. Secta AI
Secta AI is a great alternative to Headshot Pro for professional headshots.
Turn your favorite photos into over 300 professional headshots in less than an hour. Receive hundreds more by using Remix to personalize your photos further.
3. The Multiverse AI
The Multiverse AI is an AI headshot generator for business that uses AI to create professional headshots from your selfies. You get 100 custom AI headshots for $24. They also offer $21 per person for team headshots with a 20% discount for teams of 5 or more.
This is a good Headshot Pro alternative for remote teams, so you can look professional on your website and social media profiles as your team grows.
4. Aragon AI
Aragon AI is a big competitor to Headshot Pro, focusing on creating professional headshots for business. They have generated over 15 million headshots for 300,000+ users and are trusted by companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and more.
The pricing is less competitive as they target a higher-end market, with $29 for 20 headshots, $39 for 40 headshots, and a quick 30-minute turnaround time. Their Premium package is $69 for 100 high-quality headshots, 50 outfits, and 1 free redo. Like the other tools in this list, they offer a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the results.
Aragon.ai just saved me $500 and hours of photography time.
5. Free Alternatives
No Headshot Pro alternative will really be free. Running AI models is expensive, and you'll need to pay for cloud computing costs. So AI headshot generators will always be paid, but you can make your own AI headshot generator for free with these open-source tools.
- Use Vercel, or a Vercel alternative
- Sign up to Leap and get your API key
- Clone leap-ai/headshots-starter to create your own AI headshot generator. Here is a tutorial:
Other great alternatives are using Midjourney, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion, and similar AI image generators. But the results are not as good as the tools above because they are not fine-tuned for headshots. It will also take you hours to get the right image, costing you time and money.
Worth checking out is Replicate; it's what Headshot Pro uses in the background to scale and create their headshots. You can use open-source AI models to give it a try.
Conclusion
If you want a Headshot Pro alternative, start with Headshot Generator AI. That's what I used on my own face this week. Secta AI, The Multiverse AI, and Aragon AI are the ones I'd try next if you need heavier editing or a team pack.
These tools will save you time and money compared to traditional photography. If you're looking for a free alternative, you can try to create your own AI headshot generator with the open-source tools mentioned above.
