Studio-Quality Professional Lighting from a Phone Selfie
Upload any selfie taken with your phone — even in bad lighting — and the AI applies professional portrait lighting. Rembrandt, butterfly, and loop lighting setups that typically require $500+ in studio equipment are simulated with physical accuracy. Shadows, highlights, and skin rendering match what a professional photographer delivers in a 1-hour session.
Clean Backgrounds for Corporate & LinkedIn Use
The AI replaces messy backgrounds with professional options — solid gray studio backdrop, soft gradient, blurred office environment, or neutral tones that meet corporate standards. Your headshot looks like it was taken in a professional studio, not your bedroom. LinkedIn profiles with professional headshots receive 14x more profile views according to LinkedIn's own data.
Multiple Styles for Different Professional Contexts
Generate corporate headshots for LinkedIn, creative portraits for personal branding, academic headshots for research profiles, and casual-professional photos for social media. Each style adjusts lighting mood, background, and color grading to match the context. One selfie input, multiple professional outputs for every platform you use.
