AI headshot generator
AI headshot generator: professional headshots from a single selfie
Dante turns one ordinary selfie into a professional headshot you can put on LinkedIn, a CV, a speaker page or a company team grid. You pick the look, from a clean studio backdrop to a modern office or editorial black and white, and Dante renders it while keeping your face, hair and skin recognisably yours.
A studio session costs a few hundred dollars and half a day. Dante costs a handful of credits and finishes while you are still on the page, so you can try several looks before deciding which one represents you.
How it works
1. Take one clear selfie
Face the light, keep the camera at eye level, no sunglasses or heavy filters. A phone front camera is plenty.
2. Pick a headshot look
Choose a studio, office or editorial template depending on how formal your industry is.
3. Get your headshot
Rendering takes under a minute. Generate a few variations and keep the strongest one.
4. Download and use it
Save a high-resolution file ready for LinkedIn, a CV, Slack, a website bio or a press kit.
Headshot templates
Business and portrait looks used most often for professional profiles.

What makes a headshot work
A professional headshot has three jobs: your face is clearly visible, the background does not compete with you, and the tone matches your field. Recruiters spend a couple of seconds on a profile photo, so clarity beats cleverness every time.
Frame from mid-chest to just above the head, keep your eyes roughly a third from the top, and let the background stay plain. Dante's business templates are built around that framing, which is why the results read as professional rather than as an obviously generated image.
Choose warmth deliberately. Finance, law and consulting suit a neutral studio grey or a soft office blur. Design, tech and creative roles can carry more contrast, colour and personality without looking out of place.
How to shoot the selfie Dante works best with
Stand facing a window during the day. Daylight from the front removes the harsh under-eye shadows that ceiling lights create, and it keeps skin tones natural.
Hold the phone at eye level and slightly away from your face so your features are not distorted. Avoid extreme angles from below or above.
Use one clear, unobstructed photo of your face. Hats, sunglasses, motion blur and beauty filters all remove detail the model needs, and the resulting headshot looks less like you.
Who uses AI headshots
Job seekers who need a current photo before applying. Founders preparing a pitch deck or press page. Remote teams that have never been in the same room and still need a consistent team grid. Freelancers refreshing a profile between client projects.
Because each render costs credits rather than a booking fee, it is realistic to update your headshot when your look changes, instead of using a photo from four years ago.
Frequently asked questions
Do AI headshots still look like me?
Yes, when the source selfie is sharp and well lit. Dante keeps facial structure, hair and skin tone from your photo and changes lighting, wardrobe styling and background. A blurry or filtered selfie is the main reason a result stops looking like the person.
Can I use an AI headshot on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn allows it as long as the photo is of you and is recognisable. Keep the styling honest, and pick a look that matches how you actually turn up to work.
How many photos do I need to upload?
One. Dante does not require a training set of twenty images; a single clear selfie is enough per generation.
How long does it take?
Usually well under a minute per headshot. You can generate several looks back to back and compare them side by side in your gallery.
What does it cost?
Each template shows its credit cost before you generate. Credits come in one-off packs starting at $9.99, so there is no subscription to cancel.
