5 Steps to Pro Headshots in 30 Seconds

Create a LinkedIn-Ready Headshot in Minutes

Getting a polished professional headshot used to mean booking a photographer and waiting days. Now you can do it in about 30 seconds with ChatGPT Vision. Just upload your selfie, paste the right prompt, and pick your best shot.

How It Works

  1. Upload Your Selfie

    In your ChatGPT chat, click the image icon and pick a clear selfie with good lighting.

  2. Use the Exact Prompt

    Copy and paste this prompt verbatim into the chat:

   Use the uploaded selfie as the facial reference and create a polished professional headshot that keeps the person's face the same, preserving their exact facial identity, facial structure, proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, and key features. Frame the subject from the chest up, centered, and looking directly at the camera with a natural, confident, approachable smile, with the full head visible and a clean professional crop. Dress the subject in simple professional business attire in dark neutral tones, such as a blazer or other polished clothing that suits them naturally, and do not add jewelry unless it is already visible in the reference photo. Use a softly blurred modern office or glass-building background with cool blue and teal tones, bright soft flattering lighting, subtle catchlights in the eyes, realistic skin texture, sharp focus on the eyes, natural hair detail, and a clean high-end corporate portrait style suitable for LinkedIn or executive profiles.
