The Best QR Code Generator for Businesses (2025)

Artturi Jalli — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 07:53:33 +0000

I've tried a lot of QR code generators, and I've found Uniqode to be the best QR code tool for business use.

In this post, I'll show you how it works, why it's good, and who it's for.

Let's go!

Core Features

Here's a sneak peek at the core features of Uniqode:

Editable (dynamic) QR codes
Real-time scan tracking & analytics
Bulk QR code generation (up to 2,000 at once)
Custom branding (logos, domains, templates)
Integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack
Enterprise security: SSO, 2FA, GDPR/SOC2 compliant
Centralized team and user management

But now, let me show you how it works and what kinds of results it gives you.

👉 Try Uniqode Free

My Experience

Let me show you my experience with Uniqode.

The platform is ridiculously easy to use. Simply visit this page to create your QR code for free.

Just as an example, you can enter a website URL to create your card.

This will then create a QR code that, once scanned, brings the person to the URL you specified in the field.

Because it's a quality platform, there's not just one QR code, but you can choose one that best fits the mood/your brand.

Notice that you can also:

Make your QR code updateable
Track the performance (analytics)
Enable GPS information

Also, it's not just a QR code generator for websites. The platform has got you covered, whatever you're trying to make QR-scannable.

There are PDFs.

You have app downloads.

You can create Contact Cards.

Heck, you can even create a QR code for a location.

There are so many QR code options that you won't face any obstacles with this platform.

Let me show you a more detailed look at one of the QR codes that I created.

First, I picked the Website QR code option from the above list.

I then chose a QR code template that looked the best for me.

I also customized the QR code URL page, so that it's not a random, fishy-looking URL.

Then I gave the QR code a name.

And then I published it.

Once I did that, the QR code is now sitting at my QR Codes library from which I can track its performance and do edits to it.

One thing that's super handy here is that you can download the QR code in all the most common formats.

Also, you can edit the code after the fact. For example, you can duplicate it, create a template, label it, or change the details.

Here's a full-screen version of my QR code. I may have deactivated it when you're reading this, so don't worry if the scanning doesn't work anymore. It's just a test QR code anyway.

Now, let's talk about the analytics of the QR codes you create.

It's one thing to put a QR code out there, but it's an entirely different thing to know how it's performing. That's something you don't want to do by guess. Instead, you want to see reliable data on the number of scans, unique scans, locations, and more.

To view your QR code analytics, head over to Viewer Analytics in your QR Codes tab.

This shows you the number of total scans, whether it's the same person or multiple persons.

Also, you get to see the number of unique scans, which lists the number of people that have scanned your QR code.

So, for example, if one person scans your code 100 times, the Total Scans says 100, but the Unique Scanners says 1.

I noticed that this information is updated very quickly. I scanned my QR code 3 times, and it didn't take more than 15 seconds for the dashboard to reflect that.

Notice that you get a view to more granular analytics too. You can see daily charts. You'll see the devices used to scan your codes. Also, you'll see the most active times of the day when your code has been scanned.

Last but not least, you also get to see from where your QR codes are scanned.

Notice that Uniqode is not just a plain QR code platform. Instead, it's a proper QR code system for businesses. It allows you to create:

Linkpages - A web page that contains multiple hyperlinks, often used for navigation, promotion, or social media bios.
Forms-This feature allows for gathering responses from your scanners.
Digital Business Cards-These replace the physical wallet cards with QR-scannable digital wallet cards you can place in Apple/Google wallet on your smart device.
Landing pages-This is a basic information-rich, neatly designed website where you can send people from your business cards or QR codes.

If you want to build a link page, there are lots of good-looking templates to choose from.

To build a form, you can watch the tutorial on the forms page.

If you want to create a mobile-optimal landing page for yourself, that's possible in Uniqode too.

Also, don't forget about the integrations that Uniqode offers.

Lastly, for the technical readers out there, it's good to know that once you create your code, it will automatically create an API key for it.

This is useful if you want to integrate your app and create custom QR code campaigns.

Notice that Uniqode also lets you create a digital business card. To do this, just switch to the Cards tab in the dashboard.

For example, here's a card I created for myself:

You can create these types of cards just by filling in your details, adding/removing buttons, and customizing the colors.

The tool also creates a QR code for your business card, which is handy, since you can save this to your Apple/Google wallet for easy access.

Similar to QR codes, you can track the analytics of your business cards easily with the tool.

Overall, this is a great platform for creating QR codes and digital business cards. As you can see, it meets all your demands, from creating QR codes for many purposes to tracking the performance.

Best Use Cases

Let's briefly talk about the ideal use cases for Uniqode QR code generator.

Uniqode QR generator might be an overkill for someone who just wants to quickly create a QR code and maybe use it once or twice.

But even with simple technology like QR codes, there are lots of advanced users and use cases I wanted to bring up.

Here are use cases in which Uniqode could be the best tool for you:

Sales & HR - Digital business cards with lead capture
Retail & CPG - Smart packaging with dynamic links
Events - Contactless check-ins using geo-fenced QR code.
Alcohol & Regulated Goods - Age-gated promotional content
Restaurants - Multilingual menus and location-based offers
Education & Healthcare - QR-enabled training, patient access, and resource guides.

👉 Try Uniqode Free

Pros

I find the dashboard easy to use - you can get a lot done quickly without digging around.
You can update QR codes after printing them, which is super useful for ongoing campaigns.
The scan tracking is detailed - time, location, device - and it's all in one place.
It's easy to make everything look on-brand with your logo, colors, and custom domains.
Support is great. Based on my research, you get quick replies and helpful answers every time you reach out.

Cons

The cheaper plans are pretty limited - some useful features like custom domains or longer data retention are only on the higher tiers.
If you just want a basic QR code with no tracking or branding, this is probably more than you need.

👉 Try Uniqode Free

Pricing

Starter - $5/month: 3 dynamic QR codes, 30-day analytics, for solo use.
Lite - $15/month: Up to 50 dynamic codes, 60-day analytics, basic branding features.
Pro - $49/month: 250 codes, 90-day analytics, GPS tracking, CRM integrations.
Plus - $99/month: 500 codes, 180-day analytics, multi-user access, advanced branding.
Enterprise - Custom pricing: Unlimited everything - SSO, custom domains, team management, and full support.

👉 Try Uniqode Free

To Take Home

If you're using QR codes as part of your workflow in marketing, HR, product, or events, Uniqode is a great platform for you.

You can edit codes after they're live, track everything in detail, manage users, and keep it all secure.

The interface is simple, and the support is responsive.

Just notice that it's not the cheapest option out there. If you just need a basic QR code with no tracking, you can probably use something free.

But if you care about branding, analytics, or scaling across a team, this is a reliable tool that covers everything you need.

Zeely AI Review (The ONLY Honest One)

Artturi Jalli — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:09:47 +0000

AI-generated advertisements are exploding right now, with many tools promising studio-quality ads at a fraction of the usual cost.

After testing several of the most popular AI ad generators on the market, I decided to take a closer look at Zeely AI, a platform that has gained noticeable hype over the past few months.

I subscribed to the $79 Growth Plan to see whether it lives up to expectations.

Unfortunately, the experience was mixed at best — and disappointing in some key areas.

The Major Issue: Wasted Credits and Failed Videos

Before even getting into results, it’s important to highlight a serious problem: credit waste. Zeely AI operates on a credit-based system, and video generation is expensive. I attempted to create several UGC-style video ads, but many of them never finished generating. Out of six video attempts, only two completed, while four remained stuck indefinitely. These failed generations cost roughly $40–$50 in credits, with no usable output.

For a paid plan, this is a significant downside and immediately raises concerns about reliability.

Image Ads: Some Wins, Some Misses

Zeely AI performs noticeably better with static image ads. Using a skincare brand as a test case, I combined product images with Zeely AI’s templates. One of the resulting ads looked genuinely usable, clearly displaying the discount and product collection name. While some of the smaller text lacked clarity when zoomed in, the key messaging was intact.

However, not all image outputs impressed. One ad felt extremely basic — something easily replicable using a free Canva plan. While Zeely AI handled background changes and auto-generated text, the result didn’t justify paid credits.

Another image format, created using Zeely AI’s “prompt to ad” feature, delivered better results. By analyzing the product image and generating copy automatically, the tool produced a tall, mobile-friendly ad focused on neck firmness benefits. This version looked nearly ready for deployment and didn’t cost many credits, making it one of the better outcomes.

Video Ads: Impressive at First Glance, Unusable in Practice

Video ads are where Zeely AI struggles most. One video costing approximately 400 credits (around $30) initially looked polished and professional — something that would normally require hours of work and a full production team.

But closer inspection revealed serious flaws: random visual elements, unreadable or corrupted text, poor contrast, and messaging that failed to clearly communicate product benefits. These issues made the ad completely unusable despite its cinematic appearance.

Another video looked incredibly realistic, featuring a lifelike person holding the actual product. However, it was generated without audio, rendering it useless for advertising.

Better Alternatives Worth Considering

Given these issues, Zeely AI currently offers limited real-world use cases, especially for video ads. After canceling the plan, two alternatives stood out:

Holo AI – Ideal for polished, studio-quality ads. Simply enter your website URL, and the platform generates professional image and video ads with minimal effort. While impressive, it struggles with authentic UGC-style content.
Arc Ads – Excellent for UGC-style videos. With just a product image and a simple prompt, it creates natural, unscripted, vlog-style ads that feel authentic and engaging — exactly what performs best on modern platforms.

Final Verdict

Zeely AI shows potential, particularly for static image ads, but its unreliable video generation, high credit costs, and unfinished outputs make it difficult to recommend at its current stage. If you’re serious about AI-generated advertising today, Holo AI and Arc Ads offer far more practical and dependable solutions depending on your ad style needs.

3 Best AI UGC Ad Generators of 2025

Artturi Jalli — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:11:33 +0000

I tested a bunch of AI UGC ad generators for a few days.

Most of them turned out to be either overhyped or just plain bad. But a few stood out and actually worked well.

In this post, I’ll show you the best ones I found, what they can do, and how to use them.

Let’s get started.

Disclaimer: This post has affiliate links at no cost to you.

Top Picks

Here are the top picks for the busy readers:

👉 ArcAds AI: Best overall for fast, realistic UGC ads.

👉 MakeUGC.ai: Best low-cost ads in TikTok style.

👉 Affogato AI: Best for UGC & traditional ads

Now, let’s move on to the results and more detailed reviews.

1. ArcAds AI

Best overall

Arcads lets you make real-looking UGC ad videos in just a few minutes using AI.

You don’t need any actors, filming gear, or editing skills.

Just type your script, choose an actor, and generate your video.

Here’s how to do it step by step.

My Results

Here are some AI UGC ad videos I created with Arcads.

Here’s the first one I made:

How to Use It

Let me show you how to use Arcads.

Step 1: Create an Account

To start, go to their website and sign in.

Answer the questions related to your business.

Pick a plan.

I'll do the Starter plan.

Once you’ve picked a plan, the first thing you need to do is add your product.

For example, I used my friend’s clothing brand logo and shirt as the product.

After that, you’ll be taken to the main dashboard.

This is the place where you make your ads.

Step 2: Create Ad Script

To make an ad with AI, you’ll first need to write a script.

The easiest way to do it is to follow this simple structure:

Hook: Start with something that grabs the attention.
Problem: Talk about the problem your product solves.
Solution: Show how it actually does it.

Call to Action: Tell where to go next, such as: “click the link” or “try it now.”

Keep your sentences short and casual, just like how people talk on TikTok.

Before we check out the UGC ad options, let’s start by making a regular video ad.

I used Sora 2 for this.

Here’s my input:

Ever wish your tennis tee looked good off the court too?

Most tennis shirts scream, ‘I just left practice.’ Not exactly what you want when you’re grabbing coffee after a match.

This one’s different — it’s built for the game, but looks clean enough for brunch, errands, or just chilling courtside.

Serve style and comfort. Tap the link and get yours now.

I also uploaded this image so the AI knows what the product looks like.

Then I clicked create.

The tool then asks you to confirm before starting.

And off we go.

One thing I didn’t like is that the AI didn’t show how long the video would take to finish.

But after a few minutes, it was ready.

Here’s the first ad I made:

I really like how it came out.

It looks super realistic, and the voice sounds clear and natural — exactly what I wanted.

The only problem is that it’s too short. I accidentally told the AI to make it 8 seconds long.

So I made the same ad again, this time at 12 seconds (the max length).

Here’s the second clip:

That’s already way better.

I also like how natural the tennis shot movement looks.

The only thing is that the ad still feels a little short. But now it ends around the 10–11 second mark, so I can just trim the extra part at the end.

Next, I tried the Talking Actors feature.

There’s a big list of TikTok and Reels-style actors you can pick from.

You can also narrow them down using the filters.

I picked Thomas as my actor.

I clicked send and waited a few minutes for the ad to generate again.

Here’s the result I got.

That one came out great. It looks super realistic — just like one of those viral TikToks.

The only drawback is that in this mode, you can’t put a product in the actor’s hands.

Other than that, it’s a really solid tool.

Also, note that if you choose a PRO actor, you’ll need to upgrade to the PRO plan.

This part wasn’t great. There’s no free trial or real guidance, and you’d have to pay over $2,000 to unlock all the actors.

Also, with the $100 plan, you can only make around 10–20 videos a month. That’s not a lot, especially since you’ll probably need a few tries to get the perfect one.

Still, for UGC ads, it’s really solid. Most of the time, the AI nails it in one or two takes.

As a bonus, Arcads has a cool beta feature that helps make your UGC ads even better.

It’s called the Unbox POV feature.

Just select it from the chatbox list and upload your product image to the view:

Then pick a template:

I went with the classic table setup, where I unpack the product.

Here’s what I got:

It’s not perfect yet, but there are some solid clips you can use as b-roll.

I’d give it a 7/10. Some parts look a little off, but other shots honestly look like pro footage of me unboxing the product.

2. MakeUGC.ai

Best for TikTok

MakeUGC is an AI UGC ad generator that lets you make influencer-style videos in just a few minutes.

You don’t need any actors, filming setup, or editing skills.

Just write your script, pick an AI creator, and generate your ad.

👉 Try MakeUGC

My Results

Before I show you how to use this tool, here are a few UGC ads I made with it:

That one’s my favorite — I like the accent and how real it looks.

Here’s another ad I made in a similar style:

And here’s a b-roll clip I made using a photo I took of a shirt:

Pretty cool, right?

Now let me show you how to make your own.

👉 Try MakeUGC

How to Use It

Let me show you how to use MakeUGC.

If you don’t want to follow every step, that’s fine — you can just watch along. You’ll still see exactly how the tool works.

First, go to their website and click “Create Your First Ad.”

Set up your project page and give the tool a few details about yourself.

Then choose a plan. This one’s a lot more affordable than most of the others on this list.

After you’ve picked a plan, it’s time to make your ad.

I used the “Avatar Video” feature to create my UGC AI ads.

After that, you can either write the script yourself or have the AI do it for you.

I went with the AI option and told it I wanted to make a UGC ad for a tennis short.

In just a few seconds, it generated a 700-character script.

Then the tool asks you to choose a voice actor. There are plenty of options, and you can use the filters on the left to narrow them down.

I picked Richard as my voice actor.

Next, the tool takes you to the voice settings, where you can adjust things like clarity, tone, emotion, and speed.

I suggest keeping your target audience in mind here. Some people like a fast, high-energy style, while others prefer a calm, steady tone.

Once that’s set, it’s time to generate the voice clip for the AI.

When that’s ready, preview the voice clip and make sure it sounds right.

If the voice sounds good, you can move on to creating the ad. At this point, the AI syncs the actor’s lips with the voice clip.

Be ready to wait a bit while it generates the UGC ad.

After about 30 minutes, my first UGC ad from this tool was ready.

Here’s how it turned out:

Pretty cool, right?

Unless you look really closely, you can’t even tell it’s AI.

That said, the main issue in my case is that the guy just talks without showing anything. It’d be great if there were some cuts showing the shirt he’s talking about, or at least a way to add the product into the video.

There are editing options, though.

But as you can see, those options only let you change the script or tweak the voice settings.

Let’s try to create another one.

This time, I’m making an ad for my new course where I teach people how to rank on Google.

Here’s how it turned out:

This is honestly so cool. She even has the accent and everything.

Once again, there’s no b-roll or extra edits, but the actor looks so real that it’s hard to believe it’s AI.

I’ll be honest — it makes me a bit worried about what the internet will look like once these kinds of tools take over and most of the content out there is AI-generated. It’ll probably make blogs, videos, and images feel less special.

But for now, tools like this can give you a real advantage since not many people are using them yet.

Next, let’s test out the b-roll video feature.

You can’t add b-roll directly to UGC ads, but there’s a separate feature that lets you do it.

Then just upload an image to the view.

For example, I’ll use my tennis t-shirt photo.

Then the tool writes a short description of what will happen in the b-roll video. You can edit it however you want, but I’ll stick with the default for now.

Then click “Confirm & Use This Image” to start the process.

Then wait for the AI to generate the footage for the UGC ad.

Here’s what I got for my t-shirt:

Pretty cool! It looks like a well-shot video with nice background music.

To be honest, I don’t think clips like this always fit UGC ads, since they can look a bit too polished.

But in this case, the shirt clip doesn’t look overly professional, and it would work well as an extra scene in one of the earlier clips where it’s just someone talking.

👉 Try MakeUGC

Pick from 300+ realistic avatars
Super realistic product-in-hand videos

👉 Try MakeUGC

3. Affogato AI

Best new AI UGC tool

Affogato is an AI tool for creating UGC Ads and regular video ads from text.

This tool also works great for regular ads in 16:9 format.

Here’s an example ad I just made:

Pretty wild, right?

The process is simple — you give it an idea, and it creates a full video with a script, visuals, voice, music, and captions.

It’s built for ads, TikToks, Reels, and product demos.

Let me show you how it works, share a few more results, and give you my overall thoughts on it.

How to Use It

Now let me show you how to use this tool and the kind of results I got with it.

To start creating with Affogato Agent, head over to their app.

Next, upload an image of whatever you want your video to focus on.

For example, I’ll upload a picture of this Coke can.

Then tell the AI what type of video you want to make and what style you want it in.

For example, I asked it to make a “Halloween-inspired TikTok ad for this Coca-Cola can.”

Next, choose your character from the “Character” list. I’ll go with Auto for this one, but you can try any of the other AI actors too.

First, the AI will write a script for your video based on the instructions you gave it.

You can edit your instructions if you want, and you can also adjust each scene by generating new images or adding short video prompts.

For my first test, I decided to keep things simple and stick with the default setup.

Then process the video. It usually takes the AI about 5–10 minutes to put all the scenes together.

For example, my video had seven short scenes that the AI started creating right away.

To speed things up, it renders each clip as soon as it’s ready instead of waiting for the full video to finish.

Here’s my AI-generated ad video:

That’s insanely good, right? It’s a bit generic, sure — but honestly, it went way beyond what I expected.

All I gave it was one simple prompt, and it produced that.

But maybe that was just a lucky one. Let’s test it again. This time, I’ll use a photo of a sweater from my friend’s clothing brand.

I wanted to make a tennis-themed TikTok for this merch since it’s a tennis brand.

Here are the scenes the AI created:

I made a few small tweaks to those using the timeline editor.

And here we go! Let’s see what it makes this time.

Other than that, the script and scenes looked solid, so I just let the AI handle the video.

Here’s what I got:

This ad turned out really cool. The first three scenes look super realistic.

The voices, timing, and overall flow feel smooth and natural too.

The only small issues are in the last couple of scenes, where a few objects move strangely. For example, in the final clip, a tennis racket slides right through the shirt.

But that’s an easy fix — you can regenerate the scene, upload your own image, tweak it, or use a video prompt to adjust it.

You can either tweak the script or regenerate the video.

Pricing

Standard: $14 per month. Best for small creators.
Ultra: $41 per month. For growing businesses.
Pro Max: $151 per month. For agencies or heavy use.
Enterprise: Custom pricing with extra credits and support.

Credits roll over each month. Yearly plans are cheaper.

👉 Try Affogato Agent

Key Features

Turn ad ideas into actual ads in minutes with AI.
Use custom AI avatars.
Voiceover options in many languages, all with AI lip sync.
Music and captions automatically.
Swap clips or change the pacing in seconds.
Add logos and product shots to keep consistency.

You can see this tool really works well. Most of its features actually do what they say, which is more than I can say for many other tools I’ve tested before.

Pros

Way easier (and cheaper) than hiring an agency.
The tool is simple. Just drop an image and tell in one or two sentences what you want.
Edit every scene and take full control if the AI doesn’t get it right.
Many AI actors to pick from.

Cons

Slow and sometimes laggy tool. There’s no progress bar, so you don’t really know when it’s done.
Short video limits are on the cheaper plans.
Higher plans cost a lot more.
Some videos need tweaks before being usable. There were fewer AI misses than I expected. However, some scenes didn’t work, so I had to recreate them.

👉 Try Affogato Agent

To Take Home

Affogato Agent is an awesome AI tool for making UGC-style ads.

It saves a ton of time, and the results look surprisingly good.

Unlike most other AI ad generators, this one also handles the audio.

In my test videos, you could hear people talking and some background music. So it’s not just a silent clip.

Each video is around 20 seconds long, which works great for short-form content.

That said, it’s not perfect. Just like any other AI tool.

The videos still feel a bit generic, even though they look great overall.

Some clips turned out a little odd or uncanny. A few were just not usable.

But you can fix that by giving the tool better input. Things like clearer images, improved text, or different prompts make a big difference.

I really like using it. My friend was also impressed when I made an ad for his new clothing brand.

We were both shocked by how good it turned out. I’d say it’s easily 10x better than what we expected from other tools like it.

👉 Try Affogato Agent

Pros of Using AI for UGC Ads

The biggest benefit of AI-made UGC ads is speed.

You can make and test a bunch of video versions in just a few minutes instead of waiting weeks for creators to deliver.

It’s also much cheaper because you don’t need to hire anyone or shoot new footage. Once your script is done, each video costs almost nothing to produce.

AI also keeps your brand consistent. Every video follows the same tone, message, and style. You don’t have to worry about creators changing the feel of your ads.

Testing is faster, too. You can adjust a few lines or visuals and quickly see which version performs better.

And since tools like Arcads support multiple languages, creating localized versions for different markets is really easy.

Cons of Using AI for UGC Ads

The biggest downside is authenticity.

Real people still come across as more genuine and relatable, and AI can’t fully match real emotion or humor yet.

Some videos might look slightly off or feel like they’re missing that natural human touch.

There’s also the issue of transparency. If viewers realize the ad was made with AI, it could hurt trust.

On top of that, some ad platforms have rules about synthetic content, so you need to make sure you’re staying within those limits.

And even though AI tools are cheaper overall, the credit-based pricing can add up fast if you’re running lots of test videos.

To Take Home

Arcads.ai is one of the best tools right now for making UGC-style ads quickly.

It’s not flawless, but it saves a lot of time and money while letting you test new ideas right away.

If you want to scale your ads, try fresh hooks, or test creative concepts before bringing in real creators, Arcads is definitely worth trying.

Thanks for reading! Hope this helped you find what you needed.

Best OCR for Invoice Processing (I Tried Them All)

Artturi Jalli — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:28:07 +0000

I tested several OCR tools for invoices. DocuClipper turned out to be the easiest and most reliable.

It takes PDFs, scans, or digital invoices and converts them into clean data within seconds. You can send that data straight to QuickBooks or Excel.

It also has automation features to save even more time. You can match invoices to purchase orders, match transactions, and more.

Here’s how it works.

👉 Try DocuClipper Free

My Experience

I just received a paper invoice that I took a picture of, and now I’d like to scan it into my accounting software without having to type it all in.

For demonstration purposes, this is an imaginary invoice with imaginary information. However, the paper and the picture are real to demonstrate the OCR in action.

To OCR your invoices, go to DocuClipper. You can try it free with my link above.

Then, drop the file into this view.

This tool only accepts PDF files, so if you have a photo, you need to convert it to PDF. However, that's usually easy. Just open up the photo and go to your computer's settings and export to PDF.

In just a few seconds, the tool pulls out the data and shows it in columns.

Looks correct to me.

It also picked up some extra fields from the invoice:

It’s mostly correct. Just a few small things to fix.

For example, it shows “Clara ThompsonBlueTech Ventures 77.” It should be split into the name, the company, and then the address.

Still, very impressive given how poor the image quality is.

Some parts are hard to read even for me.

If something is missing, you can just add a new line and fill it in.

If there’s extra info or something looks off, just delete that line.

After editing and checking the fields, you can export the invoice to Excel or QuickBooks.

Before exporting, you can also customize the file.

For example, change the date format with a dropdown instead of editing it by hand.

That’s all you need for the basics.

Now let’s look at some advanced options.

After running OCR, you’ll see a column on the right side of the viewer:

These options give you more control and automation.

Approvals help keep spending in check.
Automation saves time.
Matching makes sure invoices line up with your bank records and purchase orders.

Let me show you how those work.

1. Approvals

This feature lets you set rules so some invoices need approval first. For example, invoices over a certain amount go to a manager.

It helps keep spending under control and adds a final check before payment.

Here’s the view. Just add a name, description, conditions, and approvers.

2. Automation Rules

This feature lets you create rules for handling invoices automatically.

For example, you can auto-categorize invoices from a vendor or set default tax codes.

This cuts down on manual work and mistakes.

Here’s the view. Just set the conditions and choose what to include or exclude.

You can add multiple conditions with the “Add another condition” button.

You can also set categories for those conditions and add as many as you need.

3. Bank Transaction Matching

This feature matches invoice data with your bank transactions.

It confirms the invoice was paid and matches your books. This reduces reconciliation issues.

Here’s an example with sample invoices:

4. Purchase Order Matching

This feature cross-checks the invoice with a purchase order.

If the amount, items, and vendor match, it gets approved faster. If not, it flags a mismatch.

Here’s some sample data:

Pretty handy, right?

This tool converts invoice images into digital ones, no typing needed.

It also cuts down on errors.

But that’s not all. Sure, you could do OCR with ChatGPT too.

The difference is this is a full invoice management platform. It lets you set rules and conditions to automate the boring parts.

I Tried 25+ AI Voice Enhancers. These Are The Best

Artturi Jalli — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 08:31:50 +0000

I tested the top AI voice-enhancing tools to help you save time and money.

I recorded a low-quality audio clip using my old headset to see which tool could transform it into the best possible sound.

In this post, on every tool, you can listen to a before-after clip with the AI enhancers.

Here are my findings!

👉 If you prefer a video version of this guide, you can watch it here.

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you.

1. Podcastle

Best Overall AI Audio Enhancer

Podcastle transforms low-quality audio into studio-grade sound. It’s perfect for podcasts, as the name suggests.

Note that Podcastle isn’t just an audio enhancer—it’s a full podcasting platform where you can collaborate and share content.

But for this review, I’ll focus solely on its audio-enhancing capabilities.

Original vs. Enhanced Audio

Listen to the original vs. enhanced AI audio clip here

As you can hear, the original clip is terrible. It’s a noisy recording I made with my iPhone connected to my headset.

But the AI-enhanced clip is almost magical.

Pros

Realistic: The enhanced audio sounds almost like me. It’s far better than what free tools can achieve.
Few artifacts: In the short clip, I didn’t notice any artifacts.
No accidental clipping: Unlike free tools, this one doesn’t cut out silent parts it mistakenly identifies as noise.
Easy to use: The tool is straightforward. Just sign up, upload your audio, and let the AI work its magic.

Cons

Requires credit card: There’s a 7-day free trial, but you need to provide payment details to activate it. Don’t forget to cancel if you don’t want to be charged.
Robotic speech: The lower the input quality, the more the AI has to guess, which can result in a clip that doesn’t sound like you.

How to Use

To use Podcastle, visit this page and sign up.

Set up your Podcastle account:

Choose a plan:

Upload your audio:

Select the “Magic Dust AI” feature to enhance your audio:

Cons

Overall, I’m impressed with the results, especially since it’s a free tool.

1. BetterPic.io

The Best Overall AI Headshot Generator

BetterPic is my top pick for LinkedIn headshots right now.

It delivered some of the best professional results.

Why is it the best?

In short, it offers great customization, with the standout being the human editing option.

Yep, a real editor tweaks your photos to make sure they look exactly like you (available with the Expert plan). I’ll show you my results shortly.

My Experience with BetterPic

I upgraded to the Expert plan on BetterPic for the human edit feature. The tool is super easy to use.

Add your details: name, ethnicity, use case, gender, and eye color.

Choose a couple of headshot styles (select all three for the best results).

Make sure to follow the image guidelines. If your photos are low-quality, the AI won’t get a good read on your look.

I recommend uploading photos with different lighting, outfits, and poses to help the AI understand your appearance better.

Here are some images I used:

After uploading, the tool graded my images and removed any low-res ones. Then, it took about 20-30 minutes to generate 100 headshots.

Here are the results:

Here are some of my favorite headshots:

Isn't that amazing?

But I won’t lie. Not all the images turned out perfect.

As BetterPic mentions, most look great, some are good, but a few aren’t quite right.

For example, this one has subtle artifacts around my face and teeth.

Can you see it too?

However, BetterPic is great because you can fix AI artifacts easily. Just click on the BP AI Edit button and let the AI fix your images.

You can even ask for a manual edit from the team to make sure the image looks exactly like you. To do this, open up an image and choose the “Human Edit” option on the list:

Super useful—especially for teams that need consistent, uniform images.

Pros:

Faster than most tools (25 minutes vs. 1–2 hours).
Realistic images with just 8 photos.
Simple, easy-to-use interface.
AI editing options (background removal, eye color, attire changes).

Cons:

Not instant—25 minutes may feel slow.
Occasional flaws (like strange eyes or imperfect teeth), just like other AI tools.

Pricing:

Basic: $35 (one-time)
Pro: $39 (one-time)
Expert: $79 (one-time)

To Take Home

I’m a big fan of BetterPic. The results are realistic and faster than most AI headshot generators. Plus, if you’re not satisfied, you can get a refund—no risk.

If you need professional headshots for your CV, social media, LinkedIn, or anywhere else, give it a go!

2. HeadshotsByAI

Best LinkedIn Profile Picture Generator

Next up is HeadshotsByAI. This AI tool turns your camera roll images into professional-quality headshots.

It delivers some of the best-quality photos I’ve seen.

Let’s dive in!

My Experience

First, head to the HeadshotsByAI homepage and sign up.

Once you're in, select the "Personal Branding" option to start generating your headshots.

Enter your details.

Then upload images of yourself.

Click “Start training”.

It takes about 45-60 minutes for the AI to generate your headshots. The tool will notify you via email once they’re ready.

Here’s the email I got:

Click the link and check out your LinkedIn headshots.

Here are my images.

Isn’t that cool?

Those look so realistic that you can barely tell the difference.

Here are my favorite headshots in a before/after style:

ChatGPT said:
I really like the lighting and attire in these shots. The overall quality is definitely better than any other tool I’ve tried.

The main issue for me is that my forehead looks a bit too long in some images.

You probably wouldn’t notice, but I’m a bit sensitive to it since I’ve seen myself in the mirror so often.

There are also a few artifacts, like messed-up teeth and overly smooth skin.

For example, in this image, my smile looks a bit strange because the teeth are a bit off.

But that’s rare and pretty subtle. Most of the headshots turned out amazing!

Pros:

Faster than most tools (25 minutes vs. 1–2 hours).
Realistic images with just 8 photos.
Simple, user-friendly interface.
AI editing options (background removal, eye color, attire changes).

Cons:

Not instant—25 minutes may feel slow.
A few flaws (like strange eyes or imperfect teeth), similar to other AI tools.

Pricing:

Basic: $29 for 30 headshots
Standard: $39 for 60 headshots
Premium: $59 for 120 headshots

3. PortraitPal

Best Vintage Headshot Generator

PortraitPal turns your selfies into professional LinkedIn headshots—similar to other tools here.

It’s super easy to use: just upload your photos, wait a bit, and get 100 stunning images.

It’s perfect for creating vintage-style headshots with a lot of variety.

Let’s check out what I got!

My Experience with Portrait Pal

I sent these photos to PortraitPal:

Here are the images I got back:

They’re very realistic and close to what I look like.

To create yours, all you need to do is head over to PortraitPal.

Click “Create Your Headshots Now.”

Once you've signed up, specify your details.

Then, upload a bunch of clear selfies. Be sure to read the instructions first.

Use clear images with no other people in the frame. Avoid making silly faces, so the AI can better understand your appearance in different contexts.

Once you've read thse, drop your images into the view, and wait.

You’ll get an email once your images are ready.

Here are some headshots I got from PortraitPal:

These look calm, cool, and most importantly, they look just like me.

The images have few artifacts or flaws compared to other tools I’ve tried.

Here are some of my favorite AI headshots that I received:

Next, let's discuss the pros, cons, and pricing of PortraitPal.

Pros:

Fast (30–45 minutes vs. days or weeks with a real photographer).
Realistic results.
Wide variety of images with different scenes, lighting, and outfits.

Cons:

Some UX issues (duplicate uploads, lenient rejection policy).
No editing options—only view and download.

Pricing:

Starter: $35 (one-time)
Basic: $45 (one-time)
Premium: $75 (one-time)

To Take Home:

PortraitPal creates realistic images, and I’m happy with my results.

There’s a ton of variety in styles and poses.

Definitely recommend it—especially if you love vintage-style headshots.

4. Aragon AI

Best Customizable Headshots

Aragon AI is an epic AI portrait generator. The results are impressive, especially after they revamped their AI face generator algorithm. Let’s check out what it did with my images.

My Experience

To create with Aragon, all you need to do is click on “Create Headshots” to start the process.

Answer some basic questions, like your age, to help the AI generate more accurate headshots.

Next, choose your style. I went with business casual.

Then, upload your images. Be sure to read the instructions first.

Once you've uploaded the images, submit the order and wait.

In about 30 minutes, Aragon AI will send you an email when your headshots are ready.

Here are the professional LinkedIn headshots the AI created for me:

So cool!

Here are some of my favorite headshots that I received from Aragon AI:

If any images aren’t right, you can click the Edit button to adjust the AI-generated photos.

I’d say about 10-20% of my Aragon headshots are epic and so realistic that even my friends couldn’t tell the difference.

Pros:

Sharp, realistic, high-quality results.
Faster than most AI headshot generators.
The refreshed AI is even more realistic than before.
A lot of editing features not found in other platforms.

Cons:

Some poses look strange. I prefer the standing or sitting ones, but not when my hands are doing something.
A few photos look a bit unrealistic or morphed—but that’s common with all AI tools.

Pricing:

Starter: $35 for 20 headshots
Basic: $45 for 60 headshots
Premium: $75 for 100 headshots

5. AI SuitUp

Best On-Budget Professional Headshots

AI SuitUp is one of the best AI headshot tools, and it’s priced under $30.

The only reason it’s not higher on the list is that it doesn’t offer much customization for your AI photos.

That said, the results are usually so good that customization really isn’t needed.

Let me show you the images I got with it.

My Experience

Creating with AI SuitUp is easy. Just open up their website and click create.

I recommend going for the Professional plan since it gives you 100 headshots.

That said, you can still get a good idea of the results with the Basic plan, as the quality doesn’t change based on the price.

Start by reading the AI headshot instructions to know what kinds of images to upload.

Then, specify your characteristics (like age, gender, etc.).

Then, it's time to upload your selfies. You don’t need professional photos—just clear selfies.

Sometimes, the upload might fail if the images are too small. If that happens, just try a different picture.

Once that’s done, hit “send” and wait for about 1–2 hours. You’ll get an email when the AI-generated photos are ready.

Once you get the email, click the link to view your headshots.

Here are my AI headshots:

Aren’t these nice?

They look just like me! You can even like or dislike the images to remove any that you don’t like.

Make sure to save the email link since you can’t sign in to AI SuitUp to access your images later.

Here are my favorite headshots in a before/after style:

Pros:

Cheaper than similar AI headshot generators.
Super easy to use — just upload selfies and wait about an hour.
Realistic results that look exactly like you.
A variety of generated images with versatility.
Little to no artifacts in most images.

Cons:

Some images may fail to look like you.
A few images might have a 3D-rendered vibe.
No customization features — you have to be happy with what the AI generates.

Pricing:

Basic Package: $27 (was $59) includes 50 headshots, 768x768 resolution, 6-hour turnaround, and a 100% money-back guarantee.
Professional Package: $37 (was $69) includes 100 headshots, 1024x1024 HD resolution, 3-hour turnaround, and a 100% money-back guarantee.

More Information about AI Headshots

Keep these in mind before making AI headshots.

Here’s a breakdown of what you should expect:

1. Realistic Results, But Not Perfect

AI headshot generators can produce highly realistic images that often look just like you.

However, imperfections like subtle artifacts (strange eyes, imperfect teeth) or odd lighting might still pop up. Most tools offer some editing options to tweak results, but perfection is not guaranteed.

2. Image Quality Matters

To get the best results, upload high-quality images.

Clear selfies, with proper lighting and no distractions, will help the AI generate accurate representations.

Avoid blurry or low-resolution images, as they may not give the AI enough information to create a good headshot.

3. Customization Limitations

Depending on the tool, you may or may not have customization options (like altering backgrounds, attire, or features).

Some platforms allow you to fine-tune things like eye color and clothing, while others are more hands-off, generating images based purely on your uploaded selfies.

4. Turnaround Time

Don’t expect instant results.

Depending on the tool, the AI might take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to process and generate your headshots.

Most tools send an email once your images are ready, so be patient!

Also, don't forget that it takes time to find images of yourself in the first place. I have like 10,000 photos in my mobile device and just 20-30 good images worth using in headshots.

5. Pricing

Most AI headshot generators offer affordable one-time fees, but the quality and features can vary.

Higher-priced packages often give you more headshots or enhanced resolution, so choose based on your needs.

6. Refunds and Satisfaction

Many tools offer a money-back guarantee, so if you're not happy with your results, you can request a refund. This makes trying an AI headshot generator relatively risk-free—even though no free trials exist right now.

8 AI Business Tools You Have to Use

Artturi Jalli — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 10:13:31 +0000

Let me show you the best and most practical AI tools for your business.

This is your guide if you don’t want your business to miss out on the AI hype.

I’ll show the main use cases of each product and my results with each tool.

Disclaimer: This post is reader-supported. It has affiliate links at no cost to you. If you buy, I may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

1. CustomGPT.ai

Internal Document & Customer Support Chatbot AI

Custom GPT is an AI chatbot builder. It’s great for both reading internal documents and handling support.

If you have company information that should be easily accessible, CustomGPT is something you have to try!

This AI business tool resolves 93% of your support requests.

You can even use it as a research assistant on sensitive company-level information.

You can teach CustomGPT to read and memorize all your web pages, PDFs, Confluence documents, chats, and more.

It can analyze and memorize anything.

Then you can ask it anything, and it will create an answer in less than 20 seconds. Also, it will point to the exact place where it got the information from.

You can create your own CustomGPT agent with no technical experience in a minute. It’s a no-code platform, so any employee can implement one!

For example, I trained this AI to read all my website content and respond to questions related to any information found on my site.

Here’s a screenshot that shows how I did it.

Yes, I just told it the URL of my site and created the project.

But I noticed that the bot would still find information from the internet, too, which I didn’t like. So, I customized it to give answers based only on my website data.

I embedded the AI agent into my website.

(Once again, this was super easy. All I had to do was sign in to my website admin view and copy-paste an AI-generated script there.)

This AI answers all my questions in an instant. Thus, I can use this as a customer support chatbot for my visitors.

It shows the source of the information on the website so people can verify its reliability.

I had low expectations for AI chatbots because of their history, but they have improved a lot.

CustomGPT gives accurate answers and cites sources instead of using generic responses to waste time.

👉 Try CustomGPT for free

2. Decktopus

AI Presentation Generator

One of the best ways to use AI is for making presentations or pitch decks.

After trying many, my favorite is Decktopus.

You just describe your presentation, and it does the rest — creating images, writing text, and arranging slides like a pro. It’s amazing.

Here, I’m asking it to make a presentation on “How to start programming from scratch.”

Then, in just 30 seconds, the AI created my presentation.

You can customize it however you want, either manually or with AI.

Every part of the presentation — images, text, subheadings, and layout — is generated by AI.

All I did was describe what I wanted in one sentence.

3. HeyGen AI

AI Cloning Tool

HeyGen is the most impressive AI business tool on this list today.

This tool creates an identical clone of yourself that can say anything in any language. This is getting wild!

If you don’t want to be in front of a camera ever again, that’s possible thanks to HeyGen.

The idea is to create a clone and then let it handle your presentations, talking head videos, etc.

Before you can use it, you just need to send it a short clip of yourself talking. You’ll find short instructions for this video on HeyGen’s site.

Also, HeyGen has ready-made AI actors. If you don’t want a clone of yourself, you can still use this tool for presentations.

Just pick an actor and create a script.

If you want to see a complete tutorial or my results with the tool, check this video I made.

4. BetterPic AI

BetterPic is an AI headshot generator.

This tool creates realistic headshots for your entire team.

No more hassle, stress, or crazy costs for physical photoshoots!

For example, my LinkedIn photo was made with this AI tool.

To create your headshots, just upload a bunch of images of yourself to the AI.

Here are the real photos of me that I used:

By sharing the photos with AI, it will then learn what you look like.

Here are the AI-generated images that I got back in less than 60 minutes.

Also, don’t forget that you can pick a bunch of styles for your images depending on the industry you’re working in.

Also, you can customize your photos with AI, too.

For example, you can change clothes, backgrounds, fix eye color, and more. Heck, you can even ask one of their team members to edit photos for you.

This is one of the most impressive tools on the list today. The only reason it’s lower on the list is that it’s more of a one-time-use tool than a continuous AI automation.

5. Murf AI

Text-to-Speech AI Converter

Murf turns text into a realistic-sounding voice using AI.

You can use it for ads, voice-overs, speech translation, and more.

This isn’t your typical mid-2010s text-to-speech that sounds robotic. Murf offers voice actors that sound just like professional speakers, available in multiple languages.

As a business owner, you can use this tool to create voiceovers, sales pitches, and much more.

Here’s a voice clip I created with Murf.

And that’s just one voice.

You can create similar clips in different languages and with different voices as well.

6. Contentshake

AI Content Creator

ContentShake is an AI writer.

It generates blog posts and news articles from a simple text input.

For example, here I’m asking the AI to write a blog post about “Productivity tips for working at home.”

With just that one-sentence instruction, the AI created this entire post.

Plus, ContentShake has a content editor that offers suggestions to improve your posts.

This kind of tool can help you draft blog content to draw inspiration

To find a complete guide on how to use this product, make sure to read my Contentshake review.

Just remember that this is not a good replacement for a human writer. It’s more of an assistant.

After all, AI doesn’t think, it doesn’t experiment, it just spits out words. In fact, whatever AI tools you’re using, this is good to keep in mind.

7. CodeDesign AI

AI Website Builder for Small Businesses

CodeDesign is an AI tool that creates a website from scratch. All you need to do is tell the AI what kind of site you want to create.

Here’s a quick 80-second guide that shows you how I built a site with it.

For example, here I’m telling the AI to create a blogging site about “How to use AI in business and education.”

Here’s the website it created:

If you’re not happy with the result, you can use CodeDesign to edit your site by clicking and dragging elements across the site.

It’s easy to use, fast, reliable, and gives OK results, considering it takes just minutes to create with it.

This is perfect for small businesses that don’t have professional web designers or coders yet.

Instead of spending days figuring things out, you can have your project’s website live in seconds.

However, remember that this is not a large-scale business site builder. In fact, I would not use it as anyone else but an early-stage startup or firm that simply needs a site quickly.

👉 Try CodeDesign

8. Grammarly

AI Proofreader & Content Analyzer

Grammarly is my favorite AI tool as a blog writer. It fixes all my typos as I go!

The quicker you write, the more mistakes you make. The less you pay attention to grammar, the more mistakes you make.

That used to be a trouble when it came to editing your content.

But today, you can use AI to edit your content.

Grammarly is an AI tool that analyzes your text in every window you visit. It will spot and highlight mistakes in your writing.

For example, here’s me writing a blog post with a ton of mistakes:

Grammarly makes it easy. It lets you focus on writing, which is the most important part.

Just click the suggested fixes to fix your typos and spelling errors.

The best feature is the Chrome extension.

It works in every tab you visit, whether it’s a blog editor, Gmail editor, etc.

Speaking of emails, one of the best uses for Grammarly is emails.

Instead of having to rely on my punctuation and grammar skills, I can outsource it to AI:

I’ve been using Grammarly every day for 3.5 years as a full-time content writer. In fact, I’ve stuck with the free version because it already does the job perfectly.

Make sure to try — especially if you write as you work!

👉 Try Grammarly

That’s a Wrap!

Make sure to test the AI tools, as most of them are free.

This can save you time and money so that you can focus on the real business. :)

I Tried 10+ AI Voice Generators. This One Is the Best

Artturi Jalli — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 09:08:13 +0000

I’ve tested AI voice generators to save you time and money.

The best one I found is called Fiverr Go AI Voice.

It’s not only great because of the realistic AI voice actors but also because of the best customization features.

In this post, I will show you how it works and what kinds of results I got with it.

Disclaimer: This post has affiliate links at no cost to you.

My Results

Here’s an example voice clip I generated with Fiverr Go AI Voice Generator.

Listen to the clip here!

Isn’t that epic?

Now, let me show you how to create a similar clip for your needs!

👉 Try Fiverr Go AI

How to Use Fiverr Go AI Voice Generator

This is a step-by-step guide on how to use the Fiverr Go AI voice generator.

To create an AI voice clip, open up Fiverr Go.

Choose the Music & Audio.

You will see a view like this:

These are your AI voices. There are lots of options to choose from, and for different languages too!

Pick the one that sounds the best. You can preview each AI voice by clicking the play buttons.

For my use case, I found English Voice Over by Sekoyya the most promising one.

To continue, click on the AI voice actor.

At this stage, it’s good to mention that these AI voices belong to freelancers on Fiverr.

This means you do not just create an AI voice with this tool. On top of that, it creates a Fiverr gig where you get an AI-generated voice clip and a human to work on it (if you want).

So basically, it’s an AI voice generator with an option to get customizations from a real human.

Isn’t that handy?

But let’s continue with the creation.

Enter your script in this view:

I took one of my shorter blog posts and copied and pasted it to the view to turn it into an AI voice.

Click the send button and wait a second. For me, it took about 30 seconds to get my 80-second AI voice back.

This view lags sometimes, by the way. Fiverr says the result is ready while the AI still renders the audio. If this happens, just wait for the AI to complete!

Once you have your AI voice clip, listen to it through.

The cool part is that you can create as many clips as you want to for free—they just have a watermark that prevents you from downloading them for free.

Once you find a good AI voice clip, click on “Continue”.

Now you need to buy the audio you created. (This also creates a Fiverr freelancer gig for you so that you can get the customizations you may need.)

Once you’ve paid the gig, you can download your audio without the watermarks.

Notice that you can also request edits on the audio by clicking the “Request and edit” button.

It will open up a view like this:

Click “Ask for an edit” at the bottom of this page if you want a professional to edit your clip.

For example, I asked them to speed it up and add background music to the clip.

He responded almost immediately, but also told me that the background music would cost some extra. Just keep this in mind—the edits can easily cost some extra.

I accepted the offer this time.

(I’ll update the post to have the AI voice clip with music soon. You can find the first draft version of the AI-generated voice towards the top of the post.)

Isn’t that cool? You can use an AI voice generator as a standalone on Fiverr, but then you can also include a human in the loop.

If you’re not looking to work with a freelancer and want a standalone AI voice generator, feel free to check out my list of the best AI voice generators here.

Pros

Free to test. You can play around with unlimited AI voice clips on Fiverr — just note they’ll have a watermark unless you pay.
Super simple. Just choose a voice, drop your text in, and preview. Easy.
Human help. Each AI voice is tied to a real voice actor, so you can get custom tweaks if needed.
Sounds great. The AI voices are impressively realistic.
Reliable. It’s Fiverr — known and trusted. They make sure you’re happy with the results.

Cons

Can get pricey. Custom edits and top-tier creators add up fast.
Still in beta. Some parts of the interface feel a little rough or slow.

👉 Try Fiverr Go AI

Pricing

The pricing varies based on the AI voice actor you choose.

By a quick look, it seems most AI voice actors cost $5-$30 per 30 seconds of AI voice. But the best ones can cost significantly more than that.

My AI voice clip (80 seconds) cost $30.

This AI Creates Your Business Photoshoots in Minutes

Artturi Jalli — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 08:56:32 +0000

Did you know you can create your company photoshoots with AI? This comes at a fraction of the cost and hassle of a real photographer.

Here’s my AI photoshoot result:

Isn’t that epic? The AI image looks exactly like me. No hassle, no stress, nada!

Let me show you how to do this for your business, whether you’re a solopreneur or a team!

Disclaimer: This post has affiliate links at no cost to you.

AI Team Photoshoots in Minutes, Step by Step

1. Sign up to BetterPic.io

To create an AI photoshoot, head over to BetterPic.io.

Click on “Get started with teams” and sign up.

2. Create your team

Then, create a team. This is your company’s team headshot space where everyone’s photos will eventually end up.

Don’t forget to choose the right industry and the number of employees.

3. Pick your company headshot styles

Choose your team’s photoshoot styles to match the vibe you want to have in them.

I like the “Office” with “Smart Casual” style with a “Navy Blue” color theme. Mix things up if you think it’s too generic.

You can pick up to three styles. Also, you can choose an option to let your employees decide what style they want to rock.

4. Set the team size

Choose the photoshoot package size, that is, how many team members you have. This gives you a total price.

5. Share AI photoshoot links

After you’ve bought the AI photoshoot, you’ll be redirected to your Team Dashboard.

This is where you can send a photoshoot link to your employees.

6. Ask your team to do the photoshoot

After you’ve shared the link, all your team members should go through the AI photoshoot process.

Basically, all they need to do is send a couple of images of themselves to the AI, and that’s it. It takes 5–10 minutes.

The AI then renders a bunch of realistic headshots.

Speaking of which, let me show you some results. First, here are some real images of myself:

Here are the AI-generated headshots:

Isn’t that cool? Versatile, realistic, cheap, time-saving, and whatnot. Love it!

7. Pick favorites

Once the AI headshots are ready, your team should use the like button to pick the best photos to be used. This happens in the headshot results page by hovering over the images:

Your team members’ favorite images appear in your company’s admin dashboard Results section.

All the team members' headshots will be in the same place.

8. Request edits

AI images are a dice roll. Sometimes they work out nicely,y but sometimes there are artifacts.

But this is not a problem with BetterPic.

If your teammates aren’t happy with their headshots, tell them to request an edit from the BetterPic AI team. This happens by clicking the “BP AI Edit” and clicking the “Human Edit.”

BetterPic has a team of professional image editors and they can do wonders on your AI images if they aren’t quite what you’d like.

This way, you’re guaranteed to have at least one good image for every teammate.

👉 Get your team headshots here

Why Create Team Photos with AI

AI photoshoots are a new way of creating photos for your team. Here are some good reasons why you should do this as well:

Cost-Effective: AI headshots are a lot cheaper than hiring a photographer — especially for bigger teams. There’s no need to book studio time or cover additional costs like makeup and styling.
Time Savings: With AI headshots, your team does not need to be physically present. That’s epic because with bigger teams (and especially remote ones), there’s rarely a time when everyone is present.
Customization: You can use AI edits to change backgrounds, lighting, and attire to align with branding without a new photo session — without delays.
Eco-Friendly: Lastly, AI headshots reduce the environmental footprint because there’s no need for anyone to travel anywhere.

That being said, any logical business should choose AI photoshoots over traditional ones.

It’s just business, after all. It doesn’t matter if your image is real or not, as long as it looks like you. Your team photoshoots don’t capture unique life-changing moments but are more of a formality you just need to have.

But obviously, if it was a wedding photoshoot or something that has to do with real life, then that would be a different story.

👉 Get your team headshots here

3 Reasons to not create AI photoshoots

Of course, you have drawbacks too. Here are some that pop up in my mind:

Authenticity: Real photos capture unique personality traits and expressions, which (at the time of writing) can be hard to replicate with AI.
Customization: Professional photographers can make subtle adjustments based on business needs. AI tools are more generic and can struggle to capture a specific mood or theme.
AI vibe: If you use the wrong AI headshot generator, the AI images will have an “AI vibe,” which gives those images a very unprofessional, generic, and lazy look.

But with the right tool (BetterPic.io), you have full customization options and can take super realistic photos, so none of the above should be an issue.

5+ Best AI Humanizers of 2025

Artturi Jalli — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:50:06 +0000

I tried the best AI humanizers to save your time and money.

In this post, I will show you my results after running these tools through extensive tests and AI detectors.

Find the complete list of the best AI humanizers here.

Let’s start!

Quick Summary

Here's a short recap of the best tools based on my findings.

🥇 1. ChatGPT

ChatGPT is the most accurate AI humanizer based on my tests and research.

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%

Highlights: It totally fooled Originality AI and QuillBot AI detectors. Even Undetectable.ai had trouble with it.

Just notice that the sample size is small, and the gap to the next tool wasn’t big.

🥈 2. Walter Writes AI

The second-best humanizer is Walter Writes AI.

Walter Writes AI human scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	7%	100%	100%	49%
Casual Blog	83%	100%	100%	50%

Highlights: It totally fooled Originality AI and QuillBot AI detectors. Even Winston AI had trouble with it.

🥉 3. Grubby AI

The third-best AI humanizer is Grubby AI.

Grubby AI Human Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	100%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	1%	99%	100%	20%

Average score on all AI detectors: 61.65%

Score: This tool got a 61.65% average human score on my tests.
Highlights: It completely fooled Originality AI and mostly fooled QuillBot.

That’s the top 3.

If you’re in a hurry, I hope you liked it. But if you have some spare time, feel free to stick around.

Towards the end, I will discuss the truth about AI detection/humanization. I will create a killer prompt for humanizing with ChatGPT and more.

Let’s go!

How I Evaluated the AI Content Detectors

To start, I created four AI-generated text samples. I then tested them using several popular AI detection tools (listed below).

Ideally, a perfect AI detector would assign a 0% human score, indicating the content is entirely AI-produced. Of course, no detector is flawless, so the results weren’t exactly zero, but most were close.

Here are the human scores reported for my four AI-generated samples:

AI-generated content samples' human scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	0%	0%	10%
Casual Blog	0%	0%	0%	33%
Creative Writing	0%	0%	0%	33%
Technical Expl.	1%	1%	0%	31%
Overall Average	0.5%	0.25%	0%	26.75%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 6.88%

The average human score was 6.88%.

In other words, the detectors judged that about 6.88% of the text appeared human-written, while 93.12% was identified as AI-generated.

This 6.88% baseline will serve as our reference point to compare the tools.

If a score is much higher than 6.88%, it suggests that the AI humanization process had some effect.

For an AI humanizer to be considered successful, the score should ideally approach 100%.

With that reference in place, here are the results of running the same samples through AI humanizers and then scanning them again with detectors.

1. ChatGPT

ChatGPT needs no lengthy introduction, so we’ll skip straight to the details.

The Results

To test how well ChatGPT can humanize AI content, I followed this process:

Generated four AI-written text samples.
Rewrote each sample using ChatGPT.
Ran the rewritten text through the AI detectors.
Recorded all scores.

Below is what the most popular detectors reported:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	19%	100%	100%	48%
Creative Writing	19%	99%	100%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

In the table:

0% = Fully AI-generated
100% = Fully human-written

Summary of Findings:

Winston AI still detected the text as mainly AI.
Originality AI was completely fooled.
QuillBot was also fully deceived.
Undetectable.ai remained partially unconvinced.

On average, the human score increased to 72.06%.

This is a substantial improvement over the 6.88% baseline.

Still, this result is less than ideal. Ideally, you’d expect the score to be near 99% or higher.

Overall, ChatGPT produced text that was a little more than halfway human-like—far from perfect, but among the better options.

Pricing

ChatGPT is available free of charge within certain usage limits. If you only use it for content humanization, you might not need to pay.

Here’s a quick overview of the pricing tiers:

Free — $0/month

2. Walter Writes AI

Walter Writes AI is a tool designed to make AI-generated text sound more human.

It’s simple to use: sign up, paste your AI text, and click “Humanize.”

The platform will produce a rewritten version intended to appear more human-like.

But does it actually work? Can it consistently fool AI detectors? Let’s find out.

The Results

To evaluate Walter Writes AI, I followed this process:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Humanized each sample with Walter AI.
Ran the humanized texts through AI detectors.
Collected and averaged the scores.

Here are the results reported by the most popular detectors:

Walter Writes AI human scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	7%	100%	100%	49%
Casual Blog	83%	100%	100%	50%
Creative Writing	0%	100%	100%	36%
Technical Expl.	1%	100%	100%	99%
Total Average	22.5%	100%	100%	58.5%

Average score on all AI detectors: 70.31%

In this context:

0% = Fully AI-generated
100% = Fully human-written

Observations:

Winston AI still detected the content as mainly AI.
Originality AI was completely fooled.
QuillBot was also fully deceived.
Undetectable.ai remained partially skeptical.

When averaging the human scores, the result was 70.31%.

This is significantly higher than the 6.88% baseline with no humanization.

However, this performance is still disappointing.

Essentially, the tool only successfully humanized the text about 70% of the time—far too unreliable.

Ideally, the score should fall between 99.5% and 100% to justify using it, but here it’s just 70%.

Walter Writes AI vs. ChatGPT

Given Walter Writes AI’s underwhelming results, I decided to see how ChatGPT would perform in comparison.

I repeated the same process: humanized the same four text samples using ChatGPT, then tested them with AI detectors.

Here were the outcomes:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	19%	100%	100%	48%
Creative Writing	19%	99%	100%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

Summary:

Winston AI again detected the content as mainly AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was fully deceived.
Undetectable.ai was mostly fooled.

The average human score came out to 72.06%.

For reference, Walter AI achieved only 70.31%.

In short, ChatGPT did a slightly better job at making AI content appear human-written.

Even better, ChatGPT is free to use.

By contrast, Walter Writes AI offers only 300 free words of humanization.

Bottom line: I’d pick ChatGPT over Walter Writes AI.

Pricing

3. Grubby AI

Grubby AI is a humanizer designed to make AI-generated content appear more human.

The tool allows you to upload PDFs, paste text, or try example content if you just want to experiment.

To use it, sign up, enter your AI text, and click “Humanize.”

It will generate a version intended to look more human-written.

But does it actually work? Here are my results.

The Results

To test Grubby AI, I followed this process:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Processed each sample with Grubby AI.
Ran the results through AI detectors.
Collected and averaged the scores.

Here’s what the most popular detectors reported:

Grubby AI Human Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	100%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	1%	99%	100%	20%
Creative Writing	9%	94%	100%	40%
Technical Expl.	1%	100%	22%	99%
Total Average	3%	98.25%	80.5%	64.5%

Average score on all AI detectors: 61.65%

In this table:

0% = Fully AI-generated
100% = Fully human-written

Findings:

Winston AI was not fooled at all.
Originality AI was completely deceived.
QuillBot was mostly convinced.
Undetectable.ai remained skeptical.

On average, the human score came out to 61.56%.

This is far above the 6.88% baseline without humanization.

Still, 61.56% is extremely low. It means Grubby AI failed nearly half the time to make text look human.

Ideally, you’d want a score between 99.5% and 100%, not just over 60%.

On top of that, the free plan is very limited: you can only humanize one short piece before being prompted to pay.

Bottom line: Grubby AI doesn’t work well.

Grubby AI vs. ChatGPT

Since Grubby AI performed poorly, I wanted to see how ChatGPT compared.

I repeated the exact same steps but used ChatGPT to humanize the samples.

Then I tested the results with the same detectors.

Here’s what I found:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	19%	100%	100%	48%
Creative Writing	19%	99%	100%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

Summary:

Winston AI still recognized most of the text as AI-generated.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was completely fooled.
Undetectable.ai was mostly convinced.

The average human score was 72.06%.

Compare this to Grubby AI’s 61.56%.

Clearly, ChatGPT did a far better job at making content look human.

Plus, ChatGPT is free and allows unlimited usage.

In short: I’d use ChatGPT over Grubby AI every time.

4. GPTHuman

GPTHuman is another AI humanizer that rephrases AI-generated text to sound more natural.

It’s straightforward to use: sign up, choose “Humanizer” on the dashboard, paste your text on the left, and click “Humanize.” The humanized version appears on the right.

But does it fool detectors? Here are my results.

The Results

To evaluate GPTHuman, I followed this process:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Humanized each sample with GPTHuman.
Ran the rewritten text through AI detectors.
Averaged the scores.

Here’s what the most popular detectors reported:

GPTHuman AI detector scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	6%	100%	100%	31%
Casual Blog	3%	100%	100%	40%
Creative Writing	0%	98%	100%	33%
Technical Expl.	1%	100%	100%	50%
Overall Average	2.88%	99.5%	100%	38.5%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 60.72%

In this table:

0% = Fully AI-generated
100% = Fully human-written

Findings:

Winston AI still flagged the content as AI.
Originality AI was completely fooled.
QuillBot was also fooled.
Undetectable.ai was not fully convinced.

The average human score came to 60.72%.

While this is much higher than the 6.88% baseline, it’s still poor.

A score around 60% means the tool fails almost half the time.

Ideally, you’d want results above 99% to consider it reliable.

GPTHuman AI vs. ChatGPT

Because GPTHuman’s results were disappointing, I decided to test the same samples with ChatGPT.

I followed the same steps but used ChatGPT to rephrase the text.

Here’s what I found:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	19%	100%	100%	48%
Creative Writing	19%	99%	100%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

Summary:

Winston AI still identified most content as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was completely fooled.
Undetectable.ai was mostly fooled.

The average human score was 72.06%.

Compare that to GPTHuman’s 60.72%.

Clearly, ChatGPT performed much better.

ChatGPT is also free to use without limits.

In short: I’d always choose ChatGPT over GPTHuman.

5. Claude AI

Claude AI is another ChatGPT competitor that generates text in a style very similar to ChatGPT. That’s why I was curious to see if it could match ChatGPT in making AI content appear human.

I ran these tests using this prompt.

It’s exactly the same prompt I used when testing ChatGPT as a humanizer.

If you’d like to try it yourself, you can sign up for Claude, paste in the prompt, and provide some AI-generated text.

Let’s see if Claude can outperform ChatGPT (or any of the other top humanization tools).

The Results

To test Claude AI, I took these steps:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Rewrote each sample with Claude.
Ran the outputs through AI detectors.
Recorded the results.

Here’s what the most popular detectors reported:

Claude AI Human scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	0%	59%	0%	50%
Casual Blog	1%	100%	100%	99%
Creative Writing	1%	100%	91%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	50%
Overall Average	0.75%	89.5%	72.75%	74.5%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 59.38%

In this table:

0% = Entirely AI-generated
100% = Entirely human-written

Findings:

Winston AI detected the text as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was not very convinced.
Undetectable.ai wasn’t convinced either.

Overall, the average human score was 59.38%.

This is higher than the 6.88% baseline with no humanization.

However, 59.38% is still very weak. Even the better tools on this list fell short of the 99% range.

Claude doesn’t reliably disguise AI content—it still looks like AI about half the time.

Claude AI vs. ChatGPT

It’s an obvious comparison: how does Claude stack up against ChatGPT?

I repeated the same process, but used ChatGPT to rewrite the four text samples and then ran them through the same detectors.

Here were the ChatGPT results:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%
Casual Blog	19%	100%	100%	48%
Creative Writing	19%	99%	100%	99%
Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

Summary:

Winston AI still flagged most of the content as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was completely fooled.
Undetectable.ai was mostly fooled.

The average human score was 72.06%.

By comparison, Claude only reached 59.38%.

Clearly, ChatGPT did a much better job making the content appear human-written.

In short: I’d pick ChatGPT over Claude without hesitation.

6. DeepSeek AI

DeepSeek AI is another ChatGPT alternative known for launching quickly and offering similar capabilities. Given their similarities, I wanted to see if DeepSeek could match ChatGPT’s ability to humanize AI-generated text.

I used this same prompt, identical to the one I used with ChatGPT.

If you’d like to test DeepSeek yourself, just sign up, paste in the prompt, and submit some AI-generated text.

You might expect results similar to ChatGPT—let’s see how it actually performed.

The Results

To evaluate DeepSeek AI, I did the following:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Rewrote each sample with DeepSeek.
Ran the rewritten text through AI detectors.
Averaged the scores.

Here are the results in a table:

DeepSeek AI Humanization scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	0%	0%	43%	47%
Casual Blog	0%	98%	100%	99%
Creative Writing	0%	98%	100%	41%
Technical Expl.	0%	64%	100%	43%
Overall Average	0%	65%	85.75%	57.5%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 52.06%

In this table:

0% = Entirely AI-generated
100% = Entirely human-written

Findings:

Winston AI still identified the text as AI.
Originality AI was unconvinced.
QuillBot was mostly fooled, but not completely.
Undetectable.ai was not convinced.

The average human score was 52.06%.

This is well above the 6.88% baseline.

But it’s still very low. About half the time, the output still looks like AI.

Ideally, you’d want scores between 99% and 100% to consider it trustworthy.

DeepSeek AI vs. ChatGPT

For comparison, I repeated the same steps with ChatGPT as the humanizer.

Here were ChatGPT’s detection results:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	1%	70%	100%	99%

Technical Expl.	1%	99%	100%	99%
Total Average	10%	92%	100%	86.25%

Average score on all AI detectors: 72.06%

Summary:

Winston AI flagged most of the text as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was fully fooled.
Undetectable.ai was mostly fooled.

The average human score was 72.06%.

Compare that to DeepSeek’s 52.06%—ChatGPT clearly performed much better.

In short: ChatGPT is far more reliable than DeepSeek for this purpose.

Pricing

Chatbot — Free

Off-peak pricing: $0.035 (hit), $0.135 (miss), $0.55 output

7. HumanizeAI

HumanizeAI is another much-talked-about AI humanizer. One appealing feature is the free trial with no signup required.

To use it, simply visit their site. No registration is needed.

Paste your text into the editor and click “Humanize.”

But does it really work? Can a free tool reliably make AI text sound human? Let’s find out.

The Results

To evaluate HumanizeAI, I did the following:

Created four AI-generated text samples.
Processed each one with HumanizeAI.
Ran the results through AI detectors.
Collected the scores.

Here’s what the most popular detectors reported:

HumanizePro AI content scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	0%	39%	0%	25%
Casual Blog	0%	99%	100%	32%
Creative Writing	0%	100%	100%	30%
Technical Expl.	1%	100%	72%	49%
Overall Average	0.25%	84.5%	68%	34%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 46.19%

In this table:

0% = Fully AI-generated
100% = Fully human-written

Observations:

Winston AI detected the text as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was only partially fooled.
Undetectable.ai wasn’t convinced at all.

The average human score was 46.19%.

While this is higher than the 6.88% baseline, it’s still poor.

Nearly half of the time, the output still read as AI-generated.

Ideally, you’d want scores between 99% and 100% to consider a tool reliable.

HumanizeAI vs. ChatGPT

To compare, I ran the same samples through ChatGPT and tested the outputs.

Here’s how ChatGPT scored:

ChatGPT Humanizer: AI Detection Scores

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector

Summary:

Winston AI still recognized most of the text as AI.
Originality AI was mostly fooled.
QuillBot was completely fooled.
Undetectable.ai was mostly fooled.

ChatGPT achieved an average score of 72.06%.

In comparison, HumanizeAI only reached 46.19%.

Clearly, ChatGPT performed much better.

In short: I’d choose ChatGPT over HumanizeAI every time.

Improved Prompts for AI Humanizers?

After testing all these tools with a basic prompt, I wanted to see what would happen if I created a more carefully crafted prompt in ChatGPT.

This time, I told ChatGPT to imitate my personal writing style and used a blog post I had written myself as a reference.

Surely that approach should work better, right?

I asked it to match my tone and style exactly.

Here are the results:

ChatGPT AI human scores with improved prompt

Content Type	Winston AI	Originality AI	QuillBot Detector	Undetectable.ai Detector
Formal Essay	0%	1%	59%	30%
Casual Blog	1%	100%	100%	99%
Creative Writing	0%	100%	100%	38%
Technical Expl.	0%	1%	32%	99%
Overall Average	0.25%	50.5%	72.75%	66.5%

Total Combined Average (all 16 values): 47.5%

The average human score dropped to 47.5%.

That’s significantly lower than the 70%+ score I got earlier with a simpler prompt.

Ironically, improving the prompt actually made the humanization worse.

Maybe it was just random luck (AI outputs are unpredictable), but it still proves how inconsistent these tools are.

Whatever the reason, this confirms how difficult it is to “humanize” AI text reliably.

If you try random tools or prompts and your score isn’t above 99%, you already know the technology isn’t dependable.

How AI Humanizers Work (and Why They Fall Short)

So why are AI humanizers generally ineffective?

Here’s the reality:

Most of these tools are just wrappers around ChatGPT or similar language models. There’s no secret algorithm or special anti-detector technology. What they really do is:

Take your AI-generated text.
Add prompt instructions (like “Rewrite this to sound human”).
Send it to an LLM.
Return a rephrased version.

That’s it.

It’s blunt, but that’s the truth.

And because AI is rewriting AI, it still ends up sounding artificial.

AI detectors look for telltale signs: repetition, unnatural flow, too-perfect grammar, and lack of randomness. Even with rephrasing, these traits often remain because the underlying process is still AI.

Plus, many popular tools don’t train on real human writing—they only rephrase. That might occasionally fool a detector, but not consistently. And when it does, the content often sounds awkward or low quality.

Why These Tools Still Exist

You might wonder: If they don’t work well, why are there so many?

Simple: they sell.

It’s not always about building the best product. It’s about meeting demand.

Right now, “AI humanizer” is a high-traffic keyword.

You can see that from the above Semrush search traffic report. It suggests there are hundreds of thousands of people searching for those every month.

In the US alone, there are over 246,000 Google searches every month for “AI humanizer.”

That’s mostly students, freelancers, and SEO professionals trying to bypass detectors.

Where there’s search volume, there’s a product. It doesn’t matter whether it works. If people look for it, someone will sell it.

And most users don’t test the results like I did. They paste in text, see a few words changed, and assume it’s good enough. That alone is enough to drive subscriptions and upgrades.

The developers know it’s imperfect. But if the demand is there, they build it anyway.

That’s the business model.

And honestly, I don’t hate it. Most business works that way—someone builds a product that isn’t great, uses the revenue to create something better later.

Just be aware this is how it operates.

How to Fool AI Detectors… The Real Way

If you want to beat AI detectors, you don’t need a humanizer.

You need to be human.

Sounds obvious, but it’s the truth.

The only consistent way to pass detection is to create content only a human could write—based on real experience.

Not regurgitated facts or generic fluff, but actual expertise.

That looks like:

Personal stories
Real insights from doing the work
Details only an expert would know
Specifics ChatGPT can’t invent

Check out some of my own posts.

They aren’t perfect writing.

But they get read because they save people time and share my firsthand results. That’s what really matters.

This content doesn’t just pass AI detectors—it makes the web better. It builds trust and authority.

Yes, it takes work. But it’s supposed to.

Everyone has access to the same AI tools. If you’re just publishing another generic post, it won’t stand out. Not because it’s unethical—but because it doesn’t work.

AI Detectors Miss the Point

AI detectors can be tricked easily. But even if they weren’t, it wouldn’t fix the core problem.

AI-generated content just feels artificial.

When you use a “humanizer,” you’re not creating something new—you’re just making the text slightly less obvious.

These tools try to game the system: tweaking sentences, adding randomness, breaking up patterns to raise the “human score.”

Sometimes it works. Often it doesn’t.

Remember: you don’t win by blending in. You win by adding value. If you don’t have something original to say, it’s better not to say it.

I Don’t Use AI Humanizers

Personally, I don’t use AI humanizers. I don’t bother with AI detectors either.

Not because I’m trying to take the high ground—because they’re pointless.

Even if they worked perfectly, they wouldn’t help.

It’s about creating content that matters.

Before AI blew up, freelancers were already writing shallow blog posts on topics they barely understood—just recycled fluff.

AI just speeds up that process. But the end result is still unhelpful.

Gaming the system doesn’t work. Search engines are too smart. Readers are too smart. You might pass a detector for a moment, but it won’t matter if your content is bad.

The only strategy that truly works is this:

👉 Write about what you know.

👉 Help people.

👉 Put in the effort.

That’s the whole playbook.

Materials

That’s everything I have to say about AI content humanization.

20 Best AI Headshot Generators of 2025 (I Tried Them All)

Artturi Jalli — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 16:40:07 +0000

I spent $3,100 on AI headshots to figure out which one is the best.

In this post, I will show you my results and show you the best AI headshot generators on the market.

This list has tools for free headshots, paid headshots, customizable headshots, and more.

Let’s start!

Top 3 Picks

Here’s a short summary of the top 3 AI headshot generators right now:

👉 1. BetterPic

👉 2. HeadshotsByAI

👉 3. Secta AI

Disclaimer: This post is supported by readers. It has some affiliate links at no cost to you. Thanks for the support!

Let’s move on to the results and more tools!

My Results: Quick Overview

This part is for the busy readers. I'll show you the top headshot generators with my favorite headshots.

1. BetterPic

BetterPic is my top pick for an AI headshot generator. It doesn’t just make amazing photos that really look like you, but it also lets you tweak them however you like. Plus, they have skilled human editors who add the final polish to your pictures.

2. HeadshotsByAI

HeadshotsByAI is another AI headshot generator I really like. The photos come out bright, clear, and very lifelike. The only downside is that you can’t make any edits to the pictures.

3. Secta AI

Secta AI is an excellent AI headshot generator that lets you create professional shots as well as more relaxed, casual photos. It also offers some of the top editing features out there. Plus, the Northern Lights style headshots are just stunning!

4. HeadshotPro

HeadshotPro is a solid and flexible AI headshot generator. It’s the only one here that also makes headshots for public speaking. Like the rest, it’s simple to use, and the photos turn out looking fantastic!

5. Try It On AI

TryItOn makes great-looking headshots for both social media and professional use. It offers plenty of ways to customize and edit your photos. You can even turn one of your headshots into a video if you’d like.

6. InstaHeadshots

InstaHeadshots is the top AI tool for making social media profile pictures. You can’t tweak the images, but the results are impressively good. Most of the time, I got selfies that were perfect for my social media accounts.

7. Headshot.Kiwi

HeadShot Kiwi isn’t the most well-known headshot generator, but it’s definitely a solid choice. It makes nice, realistic photos that look more natural and less awkward than what you get from many other tools out there.

8. Prophotos AI

ProPhotos is one of the top options for professional headshots. If you want to look sharp in a suit and get clear, realistic photos without spending a lot, this tool is a great pick. Just keep in mind it doesn’t offer editing or customization features.

9. PhotoPacks AI

Photopacks is a nice, budget-friendly headshot generator. It’s the most affordable option that still delivers quality photos. You won’t be able to edit the images, but you do get plenty of great headshots to choose from.

10. AI SuitUp

Another budget-friendly option on this list is AI SuitUp. It makes headshots that look a lot like those from the top tools but for less money. Just know that you can’t edit the photos with this one either.

11. The Multiverse AI

The Multiverse AI is one of the earliest AI headshot generators around. It’s not only one of the first, but it also lets you customize your photos nicely. All you have to do is describe the tool and what you’d like in your picture, and it will create it for you. The only drawback is that you can’t edit your images afterward.

12. Aragon AI

Aragon AI is one of the “OGs” of AI headshots, launched back in 2022. It helps you make realistic headshots that are great for professional use. It also comes with solid editing and customization options to fine-tune your photos.

13. Portrait Pal

If you’re after vintage-style profile photos, I’d suggest giving PortraitPal a try. The results might not be the very best, but the headshots have a calm, pleasant feel to them.

14. Fiverr AI Headshots

Fiverr is a freelancer marketplace, and as you’d expect, you can find AI headshot services there as well. It’s not really a tool, but more like hiring a professional editor who uses their own AI tech to make your headshots.

15. ChatGPT

In early 2025, ChatGPT updated its image generation technology, so now you can make AI headshots right here. All you need to do is upload a photo of yourself in the chat and ask it to turn it into a professional headshot.

16. Profilebakery

ProfileBakery isn’t the best AI headshot generator, but it’s not the worst either. It creates slightly artificial, 3D-style headshots that you can still use for professional purposes.

17. HeadshotMaster.io (Free)

Then there are the free AI headshot generators. With these, the quality goes down a lot because they rely on cheaper, free technology to make the images. Out of all the ones I tried, HeadshotMaster.io was the best free option.

18. AIEase (Free)

AIEase is probably the fastest headshot generator here. You don’t have to pay or even create an account. But because it’s free, the quality of the photos isn’t the greatest.

19. HeadshotPro (Free)

Then there are AI headshot tools that use background-swap technology. Instead of recreating your face, they only replace the background. HeadshotPro, for example, offers a free background changer with plenty of options you can pick from.

20. PFPMaker

PFPMaker is another AI headshot tool that simply swaps out your background. It gives you plenty of backgrounds to pick and lets you customize your photos in many ways.

21. Canva Headshot Generator

ChatGPT said:
Finally, last but not least, there’s Canva.

It’s not the top headshot maker, but it’s worth mentioning because it has a lot of handy features, and many people already use it.

These headshots work well for quick drafts or brainstorming if you’d rather stay inside the app.

Plus, the technology is improving, and there are already plenty of AI headshot apps in Canva that can help you get even better results.

But now, let's move on to the actual list with detailed reviews, results, final verdicts, and more. Hope you like it!

1. BetterPic

BetterPic is my all-time favorite AI headshot generator.

It gave me the best results overall and offered the most ways to customize my photos.

This tool has fantastic customization options, and the highlight is the human editing feature. A real editor goes over your pictures to make sure they really look like you (you get this with the Expert plan).

Let me show you some of the photos I created with it.

👉 Try BetterPic

My Experience

Before I show you the results, let me show you how to use it.

To start creating your headshots with AI, sign up here and read the rules. I got myself an expert plan to use the human edits feature later.

Then answer the basic questions about your characteristics:

Pick some styles for your photoshoots:

For the best results, I recommend choosing the three available styles.

Read the image instructions carefully.

This is the most important step because here you teach the AI what you look like.

You’re basically training the AI headshot generator to learn your features so it can place you in different settings later on.

I suggest using photos with different lighting, clothes, and poses to help the AI get the most accurate idea of your appearance.

Here are the images that I sent to the AI:

As you can see, those are just regular photos of me from my camera roll that I’ve taken over the years.

After I picked the images, the tool checked their quality and removed any with low resolution. Honestly, this part is the “hardest” because it can take some time to find enough good photos for the AI headshot generator.

But once I had my images ready, it was finally time to create my AI headshots.

It took roughly 30 minutes for the AI to create my headshots.

Here are the results:

That always makes me smile, even though I’ve looked at my AI headshots many times by now.

They’re just so good—really accurate, realistic, and crisp.

I’m actually using one of these photos on my LinkedIn profile too.

Here are some more close-up headshots that I got from BetterPic:

I won’t say that every single image turned out perfect.

Like BetterPic explains on the results page, most of the photos look great, some are just decent, and a few don’t come out quite right.

For example, in this one, you can see small artifacts on my face and teeth. They’re not huge, but you can notice them.

The nice thing about BetterPic is that you can fix those little AI flaws quickly and easily.

All you have to do is click the BP AI Edit button.

You can also ask the BetterPic team for a manual edit so they can make the photo look exactly like you.

That’s really helpful, especially if your team wants all the images to have a consistent look.

For example, here’s an AI headshot I got from BetterPic:

It looks good, but I’d like to switch up my outfit… Luckily, that’s easy to do with BetterPic thanks to its customization tools.

To change the clothes in one of your AI headshots, just pick the image and click “BP AI Edit.”

Pick the “Clothing” option from the AI edits. Here, I've picked a Christmas outfit:

Here are the results I got back after about 5 minutes of waiting:

Isn’t that cool? It’s the same picture as before, but now it has a Christmas theme.

I thought it was so fun that I decided to try a few more styles. So I asked the AI to put me in a dark suit and also dress me up like a doctor.

Here’s what it came up with:

What an incredible piece of AI this is.

The other customization options are really nice, too.

For example, you can expand your AI headshots.

Take this headshot—it looks great overall, but the problem is it feels a little too zoomed in for my taste.

To fix that, I just used the AI expand feature in the editing tools.

When I did this, the AI headshot generator added extra space to the top of the photo.

Isn’t that awesome?

Honestly, this is the best AI headshot tool out there. I really like how versatile it is and how much freedom you have to customize your photos.

You can also create headshots for your whole team.

If you click the top left corner, you’ll see your account, and right below that, there’s a Team option.

The team feature is fantastic. There’s an Admin view where you can invite your team members to make their headshots.

You can pick a shared style for everyone or let each person choose their own. Once your team has created their headshots, all the images show up in the Admin view for you to see.

This is really helpful because you don’t have to collect headshots one by one from everyone.

You can find a guide on how to use the BetterPic team feature here.

I really love BetterPic.

I think the biggest issue with many other headshot generators is that the results are just a 6/10 or 7/10, and you can’t edit or fix them. But with BetterPic, that’s not a problem because you can sort out most issues with the AI editing tools or the Human Edits feature.

👉 Try BetterPic

Pros

Faster than most AI headshot generators
Very realistic outputs with a lot of versatility
User-friendly interface.
AI customization options (background removal, eye color, attire changes) with human edits available

Cons

Picking images might take time. Also, the turnaround is about 30-60 minutes. That's not bad compared with real photoshoots, but it's still not instantaneous.
Sometimes the images have flaws (odd eyes, imperfect teeth), but this is similar. to all the other AI headshot generators.

Pricing

Basic: $35 (one time)
Pro: $39 (one time)
Expert: $79 (one time)

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.7/5
Customizable: 4.9/5
Waiting time: 4.0/5
Value for money: 4.8/5
Total: 4.6/5

👉 Try BetterPic

To Take Home

I love BetterPic. The results look realistic, and it’s also quicker than most other AI headshot generators.

You get a lot of ways to customize and edit your photos, even with help from a real human editor on their team.

This is the best. It’s the standard I’ll use to compare all the other tools on this list.

Just keep in mind that your own features can affect the results. Even with the top AI headshot generators, I’ve heard of people having issues. For example, one person said the AI kept giving them short hair even though they actually have long hair, which isn’t ideal.

👉 Try BetterPic

2. HeadshotsByAI

Next, let me introduce HeadshotsByAI. This is another AI headshot generator that takes your photos from your camera roll and turns them into professional-looking images.

The results are very sharp and clear, almost as good as BetterPic. Honestly, I’d probably rank this tool at the very top if it weren’t for one thing—it doesn’t let you edit your AI headshots. You can only view and download them.

Let me show you some of the photos I got.

My Experience

Once again, let me start by showing you how to use this tool if you’d like to try it out yourself. After that, I’ll share the results I got.

First, go to the HeadshotsByAI homepage and sign up.

Pick the “Personal Branding” option to begin creating photos of yourself.

Then, from the dashboard, select your gallery:

Add your details, such as gender, eye color, and more.

Then, pick the input images of yourself. Here are the ones I used:

Then hit “Start training”. This sends your photos to the “AI photographer” to train with.

It takes a second for the AI to create your headshots. I'd say it took about 60 minutes for me.

The tool lets you know once the images are ready with an email.

Here are my results:

Pretty amazing, right?

These look so realistic you’d never know they were made by AI.

Here are a few more photos the AI created for me:

I really love the lighting and the outfits in these photos.

The quality and lighting here are better than any other tool I’ve tried.

That said, in some shots, my forehead looks a bit too tall—but that’s probably just me overanalyzing after years of staring at myself in the mirror.

There are also a few little flaws, like some messed-up teeth and skin that looks too smooth:

Pros:

Quicker than most AI headshots
Very realistic headshots with only 8 input photos
User-friendly interface that takes no time to learn how to use

Cons:

60 minutes of waiting is slower than the fastest AI headshots
No editing options out there!
Some images look uncanny and not too realistic

Pricing

Basic: $29 for 30 headshots
Standard: $39 for 60 headshots
Premium: $59 for 120 headshots

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.6/5
Customizable: 0/5
Waiting time: 4.0/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Total: 4.3/5

To Take Home

These are definitely some of the best headshots out there. I couldn’t recommend them more.

The only downside is that you can’t customize the images, and honestly, that’s something you almost need when using AI headshots. Because of that, HeadshotsByAI can feel a bit pricey since other top tools give you similar results plus editing features.

One area where HeadshotsByAI really stands out is the lighting. I think these photos have the best lighting of any AI headshot generator I tested. The images are also very sharp, which I like.

The main issue is you can’t fix the pictures where the AI didn’t get everything right. Sometimes the eyes look a little blank, or the lips and teeth are off.

Still, it’s definitely worth trying!

👉 Try HeadshotsbyAI

3. Secta AI

Secta AI is a great AI headshot generator that can turn your selfies into headshots in all sorts of styles.

These styles range from casual selfies to formal, professional photos.

Also, as a Finnish guy myself, I have to point out the Aurora Borealis style headshots—I thought those were amazing.

But instead of spending more time talking it up, let me show you my experience with the tool and walk you through how to use it.

My Experience

Let me start by showing you how to create your headshots with Secta AI.

First, head over to their homepage.

It’ll quickly prompt you to choose a plan. This part is simple because there’s only one paid option for $49.

Just keep in mind there’s a hidden cost—the edits cost an extra $5–$20 per month if you want to use them. I’ll explain more about that later.

After you’ve purchased a package, you’ll set your preferences, like your gender, ethnicity, and hair color.

Pick your headshot styles.

You can pick the types of headshots you’d like to create from the list of options, depending on what you like in the previews. You can choose up to 20 styles for your headshots.

Then comes the hardest part—the tool will ask you to upload a bunch of photos of yourself.

In fact, you’ll need to upload at least 20 photos of yourself here, which is more than what most other tools require. It can take quite a bit of time to track down that many good pictures.

One thing I liked was that this tool accepts HEIC images—I have a lot of those on my Mac for some reason. If you do too, you don’t need to convert them. Just drag and drop them right in.

Then, after you’ve uploaded your images, go to the next screen.

Here, the tool will ask you to pick your favorite photo:

Once you click “Submit,” the tool starts generating your AI headshots. This part takes a bit of time. For me, it was about 3 hours from sending everything in to getting the finished photos.

But you don’t have to sit around waiting. Just keep an eye on your email, and when you get a message like this, your headshots are ready:

Here is my AI headshot results that I got from this tool:

There are more than 20 images in each section, so I think I ended up with over 140 AI headshots in total.

Here are a few more headshots that Secta created for me:

Let me give you a closer look:

I mean, aren’t those incredible?

The aurora borealis image is especially great—it not only looks like me but also feels like it’s straight from my country.

They’re just awesome!

This tool also lets you edit your headshots if you want to tweak them.

However, the edits aren’t free. You’ll have to sign up for a monthly paid plan to use them, which was a first for me.

All the other headshot generators either include edits or let you buy credits, but this one charges up to $20 per month.

For example, here I’m editing one of the Northern Lights headshots to give myself a red outdoor outfit.

After 5 minutes, I got these:

Let me zoom in a bit so you can see better.

Here are three images that turned out really well with the red outfit added:

If you compare those with this original AI-generated photo, you can tell the difference better:

That's so cool, I had to ask for more:

After just a few minutes, here’s what I got back:

Here’s a zoomed-in version of one of them:

The only downside is that these edits make the images look a bit less realistic. The edges around me kind of look like I was copy-pasted into the scene.

Still, with these editing tools, you can change the background, switch your clothes, redo certain images, and more.

Pros

You get over 140 high-detail AI headshots
Great variety of styles, including the Aurora Borealis look from Finland or somewhere North
Simple $49 pricing with one plan
HEIC image support
Notification when headshots are ready

Cons

Some images come out badly or uncannily
Edits can’t really do much for the worst headshots
Edits cost extra ($5–$20/month), not included
Needs 20+ photos to start, which is a lot
3+ hours of waiting time
No free trial

Pricing

There’s just one $49 one-time fee for personal headshots. For companies and communities there are bigger plans.

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.6/5
Customizable: 4.7/5
Waiting time: 3.5/5
Value for money: 4.4/5
Total: 4.2/5

To Take Home

I really love my Secta AI headshots. This tool gave me mostly great results.

With most AI headshot generators, only about 5–10% of the photos turn out truly good, and the rest aren’t usable.

But with Secta, around 20–25% of the images were ones I’d consider using.

The editing features are also very complete and give you a lot of options. The only downside is that you have to pay a monthly fee to access those edits.

👉 Try Secta AI Headshots

4. HeadshotPro

HeadshotPro is another awesome AI headshot generator that allows you to create not only those regular headshots, but also the public speech images.

My Experience

To use it, just ign up for the service.

Upload your images:

Specify your details and characteristics for the AI to know you better.

Then just wait.

It can take a bit longer during busy times, but usually, creating the AI headshots takes around 1–2 hours.

The team will send you an email as soon as your headshots are ready.

Here's one of my favorite AI headshots that I got compared side-by-side with my real image:

It’s not just one image you get—you actually receive a whole bunch of them.

Here are some more really great results I got:

Realistic, sharp, and versatile. I really like them.

Also, those public speech headshots are super cool. I don’t think any other software offers that feature right now.

But the closer you look, the more you can see that some of the images look a bit fake. I’d say about 80–90% of the results fall into that category.

The good thing is you can still edit the headshots if you want.

For example, here I asked the AI to add a café background to my headshots:

👉 Try HeadshotPro

Pros

Realistic results
High-quality AI headshots with nearly perfect lighting
It's a lot faster than a photographer
Good customization features and AI edits anyone can use

Cons

Edits only make new headshots — do not edit the existing ones
It can be very pricey for some people
Some images are “artificial” and not too realistic which, to be fair, is a problem with all these tools

Pricing

Basic: $29
Professional: $39
Executive: $59

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.5/5
Customizable: 3.5/5
Waiting time: 3.9/5
Value for money: 4.3/5
Total: 4.2/5

My Take

I love HeadshotPro and the results it gave me.

In my opinion, it’s one of the best tools out there.

The only downside is that some of the photos look a bit artificial, and in quite a few of them, I look kind of tired.

It also doesn’t have the human edits you get with BetterPic.

But the really cool part about this AI headshot generator is that it lets you create those public speech images. They look fantastic, and I don’t think any other tool does that (other than ChatGPT).

I’d definitely give it a try. These pictures are seriously great for social media profiles.

5. Try It On AI

Try It On AI is one of the best AI headshot tools available. It creates realistic images and is the fastest paid headshot generator on this list.

You can also do lots of customizations and edits, and there’s even a professional human editor who can polish your photos for the final touch.

The only downside is that you’ll need to pay a fair amount to get the very best results.

Let me show you some of the images I created with it.

My Experience
To start using it, first, head over to their home page and sign up for the service.

Pick the Professional plan! There, you’ll get 100 headshots, which is usually the optimal number to get at least a handful of actually usable, good images.

Then, read the uploading instructions next.

Specify your details and upload your selfies or any other good or at least decent images of yourself.

Sometimes the upload fails if your images are too small. If that happens, just pick a different photo instead.

Next, choose your photoshoot styles. There are plenty of AI headshot styles you can pick from.

Specify your characteristics.

Once the selfie validation is done, just hit “send.”

When the AI finishes creating your images, you’ll get an email letting you know they’re ready.

For me, this only took about 10 minutes. It was crazy fast—but are the results any good?

Here are the photos I got:

One cool thing is that the images come in different sizes.

Almost every other tool on the list forces you to stick to one aspect ratio, but here you get all kinds of formats.

Also, these definitely look like me.

And don’t forget—you can edit your photos with AI, too. Just click on any image to enlarge it, then pick one of the editing options in the top left corner of the screen:

For example, you can change the background, remove objects, re-create images, and more. You can even make a video of yourself if you want.

Just make sure you save the email or catalog link because you can’t actually sign in to Try It On AI. That link is the only way to get back to your images later.

Pros:

Cheaper than a lot of other AI headshot generators.
Very easy to use—just upload your selfies and wait about an hour.
Realistic results that actually look like you.
Nice editing and customization options.
Good variety and different image sizes.
Little to no artifacts in most photos.

Cons:

Some images might fail or not look much like you.
A few pictures have a bit of a 3D-rendered feel.
The customizations are there, but they aren’t the best. If you’re not sure how to use them, they can fail easily and just waste your credits.

Pricing

That’s epic! But what about the pricing of this service?

20 Headshots: $35
50 Headshots: $49
100 Headshots: $61

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 3.2/5
Customizable: 4/5
Waiting time: 3/5
Value for money: 3.2/5
Total: 4.0/5

To Take Home

Try It On AI is also really good.

The results are some of the best I’ve seen. The tool is super fast, and it offers plenty of customization options.

Just keep in mind that your experience might be different. For me, this still isn’t the very best because BetterPic is so far ahead of everything else right now.

The only big downside here was the user experience.

Honestly, it was pretty bad. I felt confused using the app—there were no alerts or warnings, but I still couldn’t figure out how to keep going with my headshots.

Before I saw the results, it felt like I’d wasted my time and money. But after I got through all the hassle and finally saw the photos, I thought it was worth including in this list.

👉 Try Try It On AI

6. InstaHeadshots

InstaHeadshots is the best AI tool for making social media profile pictures.

It’s not exactly marketed that way, but in my opinion, that’s where it really shines. The results look great, the lighting is spot on, and most of the images came out as selfies I’d be happy to post on places like Instagram.

Let me show you some of the photos I got from InstaHeadshots.

My Results

Let me start by showing you how to use InstaHeadshots. After that, I’ll share the results I got with it.

First, head over to this page.

Then sign up for the service.

You can use your Google account to make it easier and skip creating yet another password.

Create your profile.

Pick a plan.

Read the rules and instructions for uploading the images.

Then it's time to upload your photos, answer a couple of questions, and just wait for the AI to create your images.

Click on your profile to view your images (once the AI is ready, that is).

Then, click this page:

And there are your results:

Notice that you can't edit your images with InstaHeadshots. That's a bit of a miss. However, the results are so good that usually there's no need to do anything about them anyway.

I mostly got selfies out of this tool. I think that makes it the best social media AI image generator.

Here are some images:

Here are more:

Those look accurate to me, at least.

Notice that the images contain watermarks before you download them, even if you have paid for them.

But those go away when you download the headshots.

The watermarks are just there to ensure you're not using your headshots if you cancel the paid plan.

Pros

Faster than traditional photoshoots, with just 15 minutes of selecting images and about 60 minutes of waiting
The headshots look accurate and realistic
There’s a free option available! That's behind a queue, but it's still there

Cons

Most headshots for me are a. bit too blurry, and the expression is blank
A little pricey considering there are not edits available

Pricing

Starter: $49
Basic: $59
Premium: $69

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.0/5
Customizable: 0/5
Waiting time: 4.0/5
Value for money: 4.3/5
Total: 4.0/5

To take home

InstaHeadshots is a solid pick for AI-generated profile pics, especially for social media.

Some of the selfies come out looking a little too perfect—kind of airbrushed and fake. That’s a dead giveaway. But others? Spot-on and totally realistic.

There’s a free option, but expect to wait in line.

The biggest downside? No editing features. It’s frustrating when a photo is almost right—maybe the lighting’s weird or the angle’s off—but you can’t tweak it or regenerate just that one. You’re stuck with what you get.

Still, if you need AI-powered Instagram pics (or just sharp selfies), give InstaHeadshots a shot. When it nails it, the results are seriously impressive. The reason it’s not higher on my list? The hit-or-miss quality. Out of 100 images, I’d only keep 5–10.

👉 Try InstaHeadshots

7. Headshot.Kiwi

Headshot.Kiwi is one of the best AI headshot tools right now. It’s quick, delivers realistic photos, and is pretty straightforward to use.

The only reason it’s not higher on the list? You can’t fine-tune or customize the results. Once the AI spits out your photos, what you see is what you get—no tweaks allowed.

Now, let me show you how mine turned out.

My Experience

Head over to their page to sign up and give it a try.

Go for the top-tier plan—it gives you 100 headshots, and that’s the sweet spot based on my experience with these tools.

With AI, some shots will always turn out weird or off. But when you’ve got dozens (or better yet, hundreds) to pick from, you’re bound to find gems in the mix.

Just stick to the site’s instructions, and pay extra attention to the image guidelines. Small details make a big difference!

This way, you’ll get the best results.

Once you’ve got the guidelines down, upload a variety of photos to the AI headshot generator. The more (and better) your input, the sharper your outputs will be.

Regular selfies or phone pics work fine—that’s the magic here. You don’t need fancy studio shots when AI can polish your casual snaps into pro headshots.

But fair warning: this tool’s interface is a nightmare. Clunky, confusing, just bad.

Case in point: Here’s what went down when I uploaded my photos...

Also, it was hard to start creating the headshots since there were “errors” in my inputs that I had no idea how to get rid of.

Nonetheless, once the images are uploaded, hit “Start AI photoshoot.”

Then just kick back and wait.

The AI usually spits out your headshots in under an hour. But heads up—this tool won’t ping you when they’re done, so set a reminder to check back. Otherwise, you might forget!

And now... here’s how mine turned out:

The results are solid.

Some of these are legit social-media-ready—good enough that I’d use them myself.

But let’s be real: this feels like someone’s weekend coding experiment. The interface drags, freezes, and has zero intuitive flow compared to competitors.

Yes, it's one of the best tools out there, but it's terrible to use.

Pros

Good and realistic results that I could use on my social media
Variety and versatility in the headshots
Most shots come out clean, with almost no glitches

Cons

Some images are just off by a mile
There's a 3D vibe in some of the photos
No editing options for worst headshots

Pricing

Starter: $29
Professional: $39
Executive: $59

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 3.9/5
Customizable: 3/5
Waiting time: 5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5

To Take Home

Headshot.Kiwi delivers. Some of the best AI headshots I’ve gotten.

But no customization + long waits knock it down a few spots.

And the UX? Straight-up broken. Crashed mid-upload, zero warnings—felt like a weekend side project.

Yet the results shine. If you can tolerate the jank, it’s worth it.

Just brace for patience.

👉 **Try Headshot.Kiwi

8. Prophotos AI

Prophotos AI is another excellent AI headshot generator. It’s a solid alternative to DreamWave AI, which is another popular tool I’ve tried.

My Experience

First, take a look at the intro video on their page. (I’ll cover the same info here, too.)

Check the instructions first.

Here are my real images:

Pick your gender and eye color:

Hit “Start” and wait for about 30-60 minutes. You can close the window. The tool notifies you once your headshots are ready.

Here are my results that I got from ProPhotos AI headshot generator:

These have a similar vibe to the ones PortraitPal created. I like them—super realistic, natural, and calming.

I could definitely see myself using one of these on LinkedIn.

By the way, let me show you just how much progress this tool has made.

Here are the AI headshots I generated with it only 8 months ago:

Those looked impressive then. But today, that’s basic.

However, ProPhotos made a massive change to their system, and now they can create super realistic images.

Here are the new ones:

That’s a huge improvement!

They did remove the replicate feature, though, which is a bit disappointing.

Before, I could create similar images like this:

But now, that’s no longer an option.

Also, since they didn’t add editing features, this tool ranks lower on my list.

All you can do is view and download the photos:

Pros:

Realistic, versatile headshots with different backgrounds and scenes.
Reworking feature to improve AI-generated images.
Faster than most other AI headshot tools.
Accepts a wide range of photo qualities—no need to upscale your pictures.

Cons:

Some images didn’t look as much like me compared to the top tools on this list.
A few photos were low resolution or had a slight “robotic” vibe, though most turned out really well!

Pricing

Basic: $25
Premium: $55
Professional: $155

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.5/5
Customizable: 0/5
Waiting time: 4.2/5

To Take Home

ProPhotos is an affordable AI headshot generator that really steps up your selfies using AI.

Out of the 100 photos I received, I liked at least 10 of them.

The big downside is the lack of customization options.

Still, the results are solid, especially for the low price. Plus, this tool has come a long way in the past year or so.

The last time I tried it, the images looked artificial and pretty bad.

But now, it’s one of the top 10 AI headshot tools available, which is a huge improvement.

👉 Try Prophotos AI

9. PhotoPacks AI

As you can see, traditional headshots usually cost quite a bit. But I’m happy to share a cheaper alternative that delivers just as good results.

I’m talking about PhotoPacks AI.

This tool creates fantastic headshots for only $19.

My Experience

I’ll show you how easy it is to use PhotoPacks AI first.

First, you need to sign up for PhotoPacks AI.

Click on “Get Your Headshots”.

Then buy the AI photo pack:

Answer the questions about your features and characteristics. This helps the AI learn who you are so it can create headshots that suit you better.

Next, you get to pick the main style for your AI headshots. I chose the business style.

Then, upload your images to the AI.

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully to get the best possible AI headshots in return.

Here are my real images:

Then just wait.

This tool is a bit slower than others.

For me, it took about 4 hours to get my headshots, but they mention it can take up to 24 hours.

You’ll get an email as soon as your headshots are ready.

Here are some AI headshots I received from PhotoPacks AI:

They look just like me! The photos are versatile, well-lit, and mostly flawless.

Here are some more AI headshots I received:

Here’s my favorite business-style AI headshot that I got from PhotoPacks:

Speaking of least favorites, don’t get discouraged if you end up with a lot of headshots you can’t use.

For example, here’s one of my least favorite shots:

I think most of the headshots turned out okay or even great. There weren’t as many misses as I expected from a budget-friendly tool. Overall, I’d say the results are on par with other AI headshot generators.

Pros

Easy to use: just sign up, answer a few questions, upload your photos, and wait.
Realistic results: the photos look like you and feel very natural, based on my experience.

Cons

No customization: you only get the images as they are. If a photo isn’t great, you can’t fix it.
Long wait times: it can take up to 24 hours to create your headshots, which is slower than most other tools.

Pricing

PhotoPacks headshots only cost $19.

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.2/5
Customizable: 0/5
Waiting time: 4.0/5
Value for money: 4.3/5
Total: 3.7/5

My Take

I’m a fan of my AI headshots—I found plenty that really look like me out of the 100+ photos I received.

I think these work great for resumes and professional networking profiles.

I wouldn’t use AI for big life moments like weddings, but if you want to look sharp online without the hassle of photo shoots, outfit planning, or awkward posing, it’s way easier.

The downside is that it can be hit or miss, and you can’t adjust the photos on PhotoPacks. But since you get so many images, you’re bound to find a few solid ones.

👉 Try PhotoPacks AI

10. AI SuitUp

AI SuitUp is one of the best AI headshot tools out there, and it comes with a price tag under $30.

The only reason it’s not higher on my list is that it doesn’t let you customize your AI photos. But most of the time, the results are good enough that you won’t really need to.

Let me show you some of the images I got using it.

My Experience

Let me first show you how to use this tool before I show you my result headshots.

First, head over to this page.

I recommend the Professional plan since it gives you 100 headshots.

That said, you can try the Basic plan first to see how things look, and the price doesn’t affect the quality of the images.

Make sure to read the instructions carefully because this is the step where the AI learns what you look like and what kinds of headshots it should create for you.

Then, as the next step, add your details and characteristics.

Upload your selfies—just pick photos from your phone’s camera roll or wherever you keep them. They don’t have to be professional shots.

Sometimes the upload can fail if your images are too small. If that happens, just pick a different photo.

The tool will then ask you to upload your best photo, which the AI will use as the main base image.

Hit “send” once the image validation process is ready.

Wait for an hour or two.

Once the AI finishes creating your images, you’ll get an email letting you know your AI-generated photos are ready.

No need to wait around—the process took me about 60 to 120 minutes.

Just click the link in the email to see your headshots.

Here are the results I got:

Those definitely look like me.

Feel free to use the like/dislike buttons to weed out the bad images from your gallery.

Make sure you save the email or catalog link because you can’t sign in to AI SuitUp. That link is the only way to access your images later.

Pros:

Cheaper than many other AI headshot generators.
Easy to use—just upload your selfies and wait about an hour.
Realistic results that really look like you.
Good variety and versatility in the photos.

Most images have little to no artifacts.

Cons:

Some images might not turn out well or look like you.
A few photos have a bit of a 3D-rendered feel.

No customization options—you have to be happy with the photos you get.

AI SuitUp is really good, too.

The results are some of the best I’ve seen, making it a solid top 10 AI headshot generator.

But the wait time, and especially the lack of customization options, place it a bit lower on my list this time.

11. The Multiverse AI

The Multiverse AI is one of the OGs in the AI headshot world. It was actually one of the first generators I tried.

This tool lets you create amazing AI headshots for just $29. What’s unique is that it lets you customize your images by giving the AI a prompt describing what you want to see.

So far, it’s the only tool that offers this kind of control.

Let’s check out the results!

My Experience

To create AI headshots, go to this page and click “Get your photos”.

Don’t take a series of selfies!

Upload your images. Here are my images:

As you can see, these are mostly close-up headshots or selfies.

Multiverse AI includes an editor you can use to crop your images. Make sure to go through each photo and crop it according to the guidelines.

One problem I ran into was that the tool flagged almost every image I uploaded. That happened because the photos were too small.

You can use an AI upscaler if this happens to make your image bigger.

Do this with every image until you have 12 images.

Add your email address to get notified when the images are ready.

Then it’s time to hit “Upload” and wait.

In my experience, the AI took about 60 minutes to create the images. You can close the window since everything runs online, and you can even turn off your computer after submitting.

Once the AI is done, you’ll get an email like this:

Here are some of my best results that I got from The Multiverse AI headshot generator:

That’s awesome!

These look completely real to me. The one on the far right might be a bit less accurate, but the two on the left? I’m honestly speechless!

Here are a few of the real photos I uploaded:

The resolution and lighting aren’t perfect, but the AI still did an amazing job capturing my facial features and putting me into those professional-looking images.

Here are some more AI-generated headshots of me:

There are tons of images like these—I’d guess there are around 100 AI-generated professional headshots in total.

You’ve got to give this a try, especially with the AI custom feature that lets you tell the AI exactly what you want in your photos.

After your images are ready, you can head over to the custom page at themultiverse.ai/custom/.

Pros:

Realistic headshots that look professionally done.
A good variety of images with different backgrounds and settings.
Great for resumes or LinkedIn profiles.
High-resolution photos with no obvious “robotic” or AI look.

Cons:

You have to wait over 60 minutes for the results.
Some images still have a slight artificial vibe, especially with the newer models.
Many of my photos weren’t perfect for the AI to analyze.
No free trial available.

Pricing

The Multiverse AI costs $29.00.

To Take Home

This tool lets you tell the AI exactly what kind of images you want to create of yourself.

As far as I know, it’s the only one that offers that level of customization. That’s why it ranks high on my list. However, the results aren’t quite as good as the very best tools out there.

But like I said before, results can vary. They’ve put a lot of effort into developing the tool, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the results get better the next time I try it in a few months.

12. Aragon AI

Aragon AI headshot generator page

Aragon AI is an AI portrait generator that’s great for LinkedIn and other professional networking profile photos.

This tool also lets you customize your images.

Let’s check out what it created using my photos.

My Experience

First, go to the homepage and sign up.

Then, click on “Create Headshots” to begin the headshot generation process.

Answer the questions, like your age:

Pick the main style from the three options. I chose the business casual style.

Upload some photos to the tool.

But first, make sure to read the instructions carefully.

Upload your real selfies. These are the actual photos I used as inputs:

Review your details and double-check everything to make sure it’s all correct:

Send your real photos and wait for the AI to create your headshots.

Aragon AI will email you in about 30 minutes to let you know your headshots are ready.

Here are my results that I got from Aragon AI:

Remember that these are AI-generated headshots! Nothing is real here.

These look good to me, though nothing too wild compared to what some of the other tools produced.

Here are a few more images the AI created for me:

If you’re not happy with some of the images, you can click the Edit button to make AI adjustments.

I’d say about 80% of my Aragon headshots look so realistic that even my friends couldn’t tell they weren’t real photos.

Pros:

Realistic, sharp, and high-quality results.
Faster than most AI headshot generators.
The updated AI creates even more lifelike images.
Lots of editing features that other platforms don’t have.

Cons:

Some poses look a bit awkward. I prefer the simpler ones where I’m just standing or sitting, rather than the ones with hand movements.
A few photos look unrealistic or morphed, but that’s a common issue with all AI headshot tools.

Pricing

Starter: $35 for 20 headshots
Basic: $45 for 60 headshots
Premium: $75 for 100 headshots

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 3.0/5
Customizable: 4.2/5

Aragon is great and one of the best when it comes to customization.

That said, some of the AI headshots felt a bit “overfitted.” I was making strange hand gestures, and overall, I didn’t look quite as much like myself compared to other tools on this list.

But of course, your experience might be different. Definitely worth considering.

13. Portrait Pal

Portrait Pal turns your selfies into professional AI headshots.

It’s super easy to use—just upload your photos, wait a little, and get 100 beautiful images back.

This tool specializes in vintage-style headshots with plenty of variety.

Let’s take a look!

👉 Try Portrait Pal

My Experience with Portrait Pal

Let me show you my results and how to use the tool.

Here’s what I look like in real life:

Here are my AI headshots:

These look realistic and pretty close to how I actually look.

To create your own AI headshots, head over to this page.

Click on “Create Your Headshots Now.”

First, you’ll need to sign up:

Next, start creating your images by specifying your details, like your gender, age, and so on.

Then, upload some photos of yourself.

This helps the AI learn what you look like so it can create a portrait that matches you.

But before you upload, make sure to read the instructions carefully.

Use only clear photos—no other people in the frame, and avoid silly faces.

This helps the AI get an accurate idea of how you look in different situations.

Just drag and drop your images here, like this:

Wait for your images to be generated.

You’ll get an email as soon as they’re ready.

Here are the images I received:

That’s pretty cool, if you ask me.

These photos have fewer artifacts and blemishes compared to most other tools I’ve tested.

By far, this is one of the best AI headshot generators out there.

Definitely give it a try!

Pros:

Fast turnaround—30 to 45 minutes compared to days or weeks with a real photographer.
Highly realistic results.
Wide variety of images featuring different scenes, lighting, and outfits.

Cons:

User experience issues, like allowing duplicate uploads and a lenient rejection policy.
No editing options—you can only view and download your images.

Pricing

Starter: $35 (one-time)
Basic: $45 (one-time)
Premium: $75 (one-time)

14. Fiverr AI Headshots

You’ve probably heard of Fiverr—it’s one of the most popular and trusted freelancer websites out there.

But maybe you haven’t heard about the Fiverr AI headshot gigs?

On Fiverr, you can hire photo editors who use their own AI headshot generators to create photos of you. You can also ask for revisions and give feedback to get better images without paying extra for the same gig.

The only downside is that it’s not fast. For me, the gig took about 6 hours, but if I remember right, the default turnaround time is 24 hours or more.

My Experience

Let me show you the results I got from Fiverr’s AI headshot makers.

Just a reminder—this isn’t an AI tool itself, but a person you hire to create your headshots using their own AI software.

I hired someone named Ghanou K because he seemed like the most promising headshot maker.

To get headshots made, pick a freelancer who specializes in this area. You can search for “AI headshots” on Fiverr to find experts.

Once you’ve chatted with your chosen freelancer, they’ll send you a custom offer to review.

You can either accept or decline the offer. For me, the headshots cost 23€, which is about $25.

After I accepted, I sent my real photos to the headshot creator:

Then the gig started.

The next day, I checked back to see my results. Here’s what I found:

Those look pretty epic, don’t they? But when I zoomed in, some of the images were a bit blurry and not super realistic.

No worries, though.

I just asked my freelancer to create new ones and fix the old ones.

Revisions available on Fiverr

I told my fixes that I wanted to see in my images:

Then I waited a couple of hours and got my updated headshots back:

These are way better! Now I’ve got a whole bunch more to choose from—AI action figure headshots, winter styles, celebration themes, and fan headshots.

Pros:

Real humans work on your headshots.
You can ask for revisions if you’re not happy with the results.
Good, realistic photos that look pretty much like you.

Cons:

This isn’t an AI tool—it’s a person creating the headshots, which might feel inconvenient to some.
The results were great for me, but they might vary for others.

Pricing

Pricing varies quite a bit among different creators on Fiverr. Some charge as low as $10, while others go up to $50. I’d recommend checking the headshot maker’s ratings and picking someone based on their reviews and reputation.

⭐ My Grade ⭐

Realistic: 4.4/5
Customizable: 3/5
Waiting time: 1/5
Value for money: 4.0/5
Total: 3.5/5

To Take Home

I like Fiverr AI headshots—they offer good value for the money. However, the process is slow, and since you’re working with a real person, it’s not exactly an AI headshot generator.

Also, the results aren’t the absolute best compared to other tools, I’ll admit. But it’s still definitely worth trying, especially if you want customizations and a professional touch!

15. ChatGPT

Then there’s ChatGPT. Since March 2025, you can upload photos of yourself right into the chat, and ChatGPT can modify them.

This makes it a solid option for generating AI headshots.

My Experience

ChatGPT is free, and on the free plan, you can create 3–5 headshots per day.

That makes it the best free AI headshot generator available right now.

The tool doesn’t edit your original images directly—it actually re-generates new ones that resemble you.

I’ve been impressed with the image quality and customization options. That said, I feel the results don’t quite look like me personally.

Just upload your image in the chat and ask ChatGPT to turn it into a professional headshot, a dating profile pic, or a social media photo.

It usually takes just a minute or two—sometimes even less during quieter times—for the AI to create your headshot.

Here’s one of the photos I got:

But to me, it doesn’t quite look like me—and I’ve heard others say the same thing.

The headshots are sharp and customizable, but there’s just something a bit off. What makes it tricky is that many people say ChatGPT’s headshots are the best, but then you don’t actually like how they look.

I have that issue with the headshot above, just as an example.

The image is sharp, the lighting is great, the clothes look cool—but to me, it doesn’t feel like me at all. I’ve seen myself in the mirror enough times to know.

What’s cool about ChatGPT headshots, though, is that you can customize them however you want.

You can either ask ChatGPT to create a new image based on your previous messages and chats, or simply click on your headshot to make direct edits.

These edits are seriously impressive. No other AI headshot generator even comes close. You can literally do anything here.

For example, I asked ChatGPT to put me rowing on the surface of Mars.

This would make a funny social media post—at least, it would if the web wasn’t already flooded with AI-generated stuff.

One thing to remember: the AI doesn’t technically edit your original photos.

Instead, it recreates everything from scratch, trying to keep it as realistic and close to the original as possible. That’s why if you ask for multiple versions in the same chat, the accuracy can start to slip.

Pros:

Free for a few headshots per day.
Easy to use—just tell the AI what you want, and it delivers.
Customizations are incredible, limited only by your imagination.

Cons:

The results can look generic and repetitive. After creating 10–20 headshots, you’ll start to notice the same patterns over and over. If someone’s used ChatGPT for their social media photos, you might be able to tell right away.
Limited to just a couple of images per day on the free plan—if you only use ChatGPT for AI headshots, the cost of paid plans might not be worth it.
Even the paid Pro plan limits you to 10–20 images per month, which is a pretty tight restriction.

I think you should definitely give ChatGPT a try for headshots. If you like the results, there’s no need to spend money on an expensive package.

But if you’re not happy with what you get, I recommend trying one of the dedicated tools from the list instead.

👉 Try ChatGPT

16. Profilebakery

The next tool on my list is called ProfileBakery.

Just a heads-up—this is one of the last paid tools on the list, and you can really tell from the image quality, which is noticeably lower than most other tools here.

The good news is that it comes with a happiness guarantee.

Anyway, let’s see how it works.

My Experience

First, go to their homepage and click “Start now.”

Here are some of the images that I used. These are real images of me:

Drag and drop the images to the view:

The tool also asks you to upload one “baseline image.” This sets the basic facial expression you’ll have in your final photos.

If you want your output images to show a lot of smiles, make sure to pick a baseline photo where you’re smiling.

After you’ve picked your images, you’ll need to wait. For me, it took about an hour, but for others, it might take 3 to 4 hours.

You don’t have to wait around, though. You can just close the window, and you’ll get an email notification when your images are ready.

When you get the email, you’ll find your AI images stored in a shared Google Drive folder.

For some reason, it feels a bit odd that the images come in a shared Google Drive folder—most other AI tools have their own private libraries built in. But whatever, let’s focus on the image quality.

Here are my favorite images:

The results are decent, but the more I look at them, the more they give off a 3D character vibe.

Feel free to compare them to your original photos and decide for yourself! :)

Pros:

Realistic, professional-looking output images.
Lots of variety in clothes, poses, and backgrounds.
Built-in image enhancement features to fix minor AI glitches.

Cons:

Fewer images compared to other tools.
The user interface feels a bit like a weekend project, though the results are surprisingly good!
Takes longer to process than most other headshot tools.

17. HeadshotMaster.io (Free)

HeadshotMaster.io is a free AI headshot generator that turns your selfies into professional-looking photos.

It offers a variety of styles for resumes, LinkedIn, and more—with no sign-up needed and a focus on privacy.

This tool is similar to the paid headshot generators on this list because it creates new images that look like you. The main difference (besides being free) is that it only needs one photo of you and returns just 4 AI-generated faces.

My Experience

First, you answer simple questions like your gender, age, hair color, eye color, ethnicity, and so on.

Upload an image of yourself to the view.

Wait for a couple of seconds.

After that, you’ll see a set of AI-generated headshots of yourself.

Here are the results I got:

You can check out more results by clicking on the left-hand side.

For example, here are some additional headshots of me:

That’s pretty cool for a free tool. But let’s be honest—it doesn’t look exactly like me. When you look closely, it feels more like a 3D-rendered character.

Pros:

Fast: you get results in just a couple of minutes.
One image only: you only need to upload a single photo, which is much easier than other AI headshot generators that ask for 10–20 photos.
Semi-realistic: the AI creates images that resemble me.

Cons:

3D vibe: the photos look more like 3D renders than real pictures.
Out of place: some images look completely off, robotic, and don’t really look like me.

Let me introduce another cool free AI headshot generator called AiEase.

My Experience:

To create your headshots, all you have to do is pick a style:

Upload an image of you:

After about 10 seconds, you'll get your free AI headshot:

Although, I have to admit, it doesn’t really look much like me. If I’m honest, I’d rate it about 5/10 compared to the paid tools on this list.

Pros:

Free: The tool doesn’t cost a thing.
Fast: It only takes about 30 seconds.

Cons:

Unrealistic: The results aren’t close to how I actually look.
Inaccurate: Since it uses only one input image, the output quality isn’t great.

19. HeadshotPro (Free)

Next up is HeadshotPro, a background-swapping tool that uses AI to detect edges and separate you from your photo.

The idea is simple: upload your picture, and this tool quickly turns it into multiple professional headshots with different backgrounds.

Like PFPMaker, which I mentioned earlier, it doesn’t create a new face—it just enhances your existing photo by swapping in new backgrounds.

My Results:

Here’s my favorite before-and-after shot it created:

The lighting looks accurate and realistic.

But honestly, it’s mostly luck—the AI didn’t actually adjust the lighting on my face; it just matched it with a great background from their catalog.

More Results:

You can get more photos like this by choosing different backgrounds from this view:

Noteworthy

This isn’t exactly a headshot generator since it doesn’t create your face. Instead, it uses AI to remove your background and replace it with a new one.

There’s a variety of pre-made backgrounds to choose from, so the process is quick, and you can easily try different options to find one that fits your image.

One downside is that the backgrounds are fixed—you won’t get new ones generated each time you hit “generate.” Basically, it’s more of a background remover and changer than a full headshot generator.

Pricing

Free!

I’ve not graded these background generators since it’s technically not an AI headshot generator.

20. PFPMaker

PFPMaker is an AI tool that helps you create professional profile pictures by swapping out the backgrounds of your images.

It’s free and faster than other tools because it doesn’t generate new photos—it simply removes the background and replaces it with a pre-made one.

Technically, it’s not a headshot generator. But with its powerful AI for background removal, enhancement, and template customization, PFPMaker lets you improve your existing photos, making it perfect for things like LinkedIn profile pictures.

My Results

Here’s the before-and-after result:

My Experience

Using this AI headshot maker is easy and quick.

Upload an image of yourself to the app. You don't even need to sign up for the service:

Wait for 15 seconds.

There are your images:

Noteworthy

Like the previous tool, this one isn’t a true headshot generator—it’s more of a background changer.

Still, it’s worth giving a try if you want to experiment.

By the way, you can edit your images to better match the colors.

To do this, click on an image to open the editor view. The customizer helps your background blend better with the lighting on your skin.

Pricing:

Free!

I haven’t rated these background generators since they’re not technically AI headshot generators.

21. Canva Headshot Generator

Canva also offers an AI headshot generator.

But I have to be honest—the spot it holds on this list is well-deserved. The images it creates don’t really look like me at all.

The only reason I included it is because it ranks very high on Google for the “AI headshot generator” search term, and a lot of people use it and get the wrong impression of what the state of the art in AI headshots really is.

Honestly, this is one of the worst tools I’ve tried.

Let me show you the results I got.

My Results:
Canva’s headshot maker is easy to use. Just open Canva, go to Apps, and search for “AI headshot generator.”

Upload your image, pick your gender, and wait:

After about 10 seconds, you’ll get an AI-generated version of yourself.

Exciting! Let’s see what mine looks like…

Here it is:

Umm… I really hope I don’t look like that in real life. That’s just terrible. It reminds me of those over-filtered Instagram photos from around 2010.

Honestly, it felt like a waste of my time.

This kind of result might have been cool five years ago, but now it’s way out of date.

Don’t get me wrong—Canva is usually amazing.

In fact, some of the graphics in this post were made with Canva.

But sometimes, they release apps just to rank high and capture traffic to convert users into subscribers. If there’s not enough demand, they stop updating those tools—like this headshot generator.

Before you go…

AI headshot generators are impressive, but it’s important to keep your expectations realistic—they don’t always get everything right.

These tools use AI trained on huge sets of photos to create headshots based on the images you upload.

The process is fast, way cheaper, and a lot less stressful than hiring a real photographer.

But sometimes the results can look a bit off (like some of the examples I shared earlier).

You might see skin that looks too smooth, an expression that feels stiff, or facial features that don’t look quite like you.

That’s where BetterPic really shines.

Unlike fully automated tools, BetterPic gives you the option for both AI edits and human edits to clean things up.

In my opinion, it’s the best AI headshot maker out there right now.

To wrap this up, here are a few tips to help you get the best headshot for yourself or your team:

Tips for Getting the Best AI-Generated Headshots

If you’re using an AI tool to make your headshot, here are a few simple tips to help you get better results:

Upload High-Quality Photos — AI does best with clear, high-resolution pictures. Blurry or pixelated images can end up looking distorted.
Use Well-Lit Images — Stay away from harsh shadows or dark lighting, since the AI can have trouble picking up details.
Choose a Neutral Expression — A relaxed, natural smile usually works best.
Avoid Heavy Filters or Makeup — The AI looks at your real features, so too many edits or filters can confuse it.
Upload a Variety of Angles — If the tool allows it, share a mix of front-facing and slightly angled photos to help the AI understand your face better.
Check the Background — A clean, simple background helps the AI focus on you instead of distractions.
Be Ready to Make Adjustments — AI isn’t perfect. If something looks off, pick tools like BetterPic that offer human edits to fine-tune your headshots. If you want to play it safe, go with a service that includes editing options.

By following these steps, you’ll set yourself up for the best possible results.

Spread The Message!

If you look at where interest in AI headshots is growing, it’s mostly taking off in the US and China. Meanwhile, a lot of Europe and other regions still haven’t really caught on yet.

These tools are really useful, but it feels like a lot of people still don’t know about them.

So if you found this helpful, definitely share it around—let’s make sure it’s not just people in the US and China with those polished LinkedIn photos, but everyone!

I personally love my headshots. Especially for business, I don’t think AI-generated pictures are “cheating.” They’re just a smart way to save time and money.

The Problem with AI Headshots

Of course, I’m not saying that AI headshots are some shortcut to success in the job market or dating world.

But they’re a fun experiment and a real time saver.

Personally, I wouldn’t use AI headshots to pretend I was at real-life events, like weddings or parties.

I think the best use is for business, where it doesn’t really matter what you look like to begin with.

I mean, why pay thousands to hire someone to take your photos, do your makeup, and pick out outfits when you can do it all with AI for way less hassle?

That’s why I love AI headshots. Sure, I have decent photos of myself in my camera roll. But let’s be honest—I’ll never find the time or patience to hire a photographer, especially now that you can get the same result in minutes for a fraction of the price.

But I also understand why some people really don’t like them.

AI headshots aren’t real. They always add something that doesn’t actually belong to you. In that sense, the images are “fake.”

Personally, I don’t think this is an issue in the business world. After all, even traditional headshots are a bit fake—you never really look like that in everyday life anyway.

The bigger problem with AI headshots is that they can look a bit generic. If everyone starts using them, people might instantly spot that they’re AI-generated.

That could even create a trend where folks go back to regular selfies, making polished headshots less valuable.

Or maybe people will stop using profile pictures at all, since AI can fake anything so easily.

Who knows?

But one thing I do know: AI headshots are awesome. They’re new, much cheaper than traditional ones, and still pretty uncommon.

I hope you enjoyed this post and seeing my results. Just remember—your experience might be different. That’s why I suggest trying out a few tools from the list. Most offer refunds if you’re not happy.

In this post, on every tool, you can listen to a before-after clip with the AI enhancers.

Here are my findings!

Best Overall AI Audio Enhancer

Podcastle transforms low-quality audio into studio-grade sound. It’s perfect for podcasts, as the name suggests.

Note that Podcastle isn’t just an audio enhancer—it’s a full podcasting platform where you can collaborate and share content.

But for this review, I’ll focus solely on its audio-enhancing capabilities.

Original vs. Enhanced Audio

Listen to the original vs. enhanced AI audio clip here

As you can hear, the original clip is terrible. It’s a noisy recording I made with my iPhone connected to my headset.

But the AI-enhanced clip is almost magical.

Pros

Realistic: The enhanced audio sounds almost like me. It’s far better than what free tools can achieve.
Few artifacts: In the short clip, I didn’t notice any artifacts.
No accidental clipping: Unlike free tools, this one doesn’t cut out silent parts it mistakenly identifies as noise.
Easy to use: The tool is straightforward. Just sign up, upload your audio, and let the AI work its magic.

Cons

Requires credit card: There’s a 7-day free trial, but you need to provide payment details to activate it. Don’t forget to cancel if you don’t want to be charged.
Robotic speech: The lower the input quality, the more the AI has to guess, which can result in a clip that doesn’t sound like you.

The original recording is terrible, made with my iPhone and headset.

Pros

After using Adobe Enhancer, the clip improved significantly:

Noise removal: All background noise is gone.
Gain boost: The audio volume was increased to commercial levels.
Overall improvement: The audio now sounds like it was recorded in a professional studio.

However, there are some drawbacks.

Cons

Lisp: After enhancement, it sounds like I have a lisp.
Silent words cut out: Because my original clip was quiet, the AI clipped some parts of my sentences, mistaking them for noise.
Robotic sound: While the voice sounds professional, it has a robotic quality and doesn’t sound exactly like me.

Overall, I’m impressed with the results, especially since it’s a free tool.
