Look hired before the first interview
Between the resume, the portfolio site and five job boards, you'll upload the same picture a dozen times this month. Every one of those pages puts it next to your name. If it's a vacation photo or a group shot with someone cropped off, that's what hiring managers see first. You want a picture that matches the role you're applying for, in clothes you'd wear on day one.
Use Headshot Maker with a selfie taken by a window. Pick business casual for most office roles, medical for clinical work, or creative for design and media. What comes back is a picture of you in that attire with your features kept. Add a second picture with New Photos of You in the business casual type for a portfolio banner, and run Smile Fixer if you'd like a relaxed, natural expression on the final pick.
Made in the Studio with the first tool on the route.
You want
- Applying to fifty roles and the only picture of me is from a friend's wedding.
- Each field dresses differently and I want to match the one I'm applying to.
- A headshot plus a wider picture for the About page on my portfolio site.
- Not stiff. Not a selfie either. Somewhere in between.

Good to know
- Is it okay to use an AI-made headshot on a job application?
- Plenty of applicants do. The picture keeps your real face; what the tool changes is clothing, lighting and setting, which is what a new outfit and a tidy room would change too. Pick attire you'd actually wear to the interview so the person who meets you recognizes the picture. Skip anything that changes your features.
- How do I match the attire to my industry?
- Headshot Maker has six attire options. Business professional suits finance, law and consulting; business casual covers most office and tech roles; medical adds scrubs or a white coat; creative loosens things for design, media and startups; tech casual is a plain tee or henley. When unsure, business casual is the safe middle.
- What size should the finished headshot be?
- Download it at full resolution and keep that as your master copy. Job boards and resume templates all crop differently, so a square works nearly everywhere; use Reframe & Expand to make a 1:1 version with space above your head. If a template wants something larger, Image Upscaler goes up to 32 MP.
