If you want a comprehensive Headshot Pro review, I’ll give you all you need to know about this AI photo generator. I’ve delved into its features, user experience, pricing, customer support, and so much more.
Let’s get started!
What is Headshot Pro?
Headshot Pro is an image generator powered by artificial intelligence that aims to produce professional headshots depending on your occupation.
It allows you to create corporate headshots by uploading original images. You can get over 120 AI-generated headshots in less than 2 hours.
The tool is ideal for professions like:
- Acting
- Corporate
- Executive
- Studio
- Realtors
- Teams
- Modelling
- Doctors
It’s an alternative to other AI photo generators like ProPhotos, Fotor, Secta Labs AI, Dreamwave, Midjourney, and StudioShot.
Here’s an overview of Headshot Pro’s pros and cons.
Pros | Cons |

Features
Now let me take you through Headshot Pro’s core features.
Various Backgrounds
Headshot Pro has over 20 backgrounds to choose from. However, it allows you to select six that you want to appear behind your headshot. The background images are of high quality.
A good example is the Red brick background, which is quite popular and works well for professional headshots. Also, it blends well with different complexions.
The street scene backdrop is another one I liked. It has some buildings behind you or traffic that make the photo look more urban. You can also choose the garden background if you’re a nature lover.
Other backdrops include a bookshelf, cafe, lake, marina, park, white, office, alley, fence, golden gate, and many others.
Two Hours Delivery Time
Compared to other AI tools like Fotor and Midjourney that promise to deliver results in less than 2 hours, Headshot Pro argues that the longer processing time ensures better results.
True to its word, I think the 2-hour wait is worth it. The outcome is impressive, and I’d rather wait to get my images than pay for a studio session.
150+ Professional Headshots
Depending on your package, you can get 40, 120, or 150 images within two hours.
Unlike other AI tools, there’s little manipulation of your face. The main aspects that change are the background, clothing, lighting, postures, and things like that.
However, just like a normal studio photoshoot – some images might not impress you. For example, you can get blurry eyes, extra or fewer fingers, funny postures, and a few other issues.
But, all in all, the majority of the pictures look good.
Team Collaboration
You can upload different pictures for different people in your teams and get good-quality headshots for your business.
This feature is ideal for small businesses, students, or friends. It can also be good for company profiles, team directories, and company websites.
To enjoy this feature, you must subscribe to the Teams Plan and get corporate headshots in less than 2 hours.
Over 6 Clothing Styles
Headshot Pro’s AI is trained to understand that you need proper clothing for different occasions, professions, or industries. There are over 6 clothing styles to choose from. The clothing presets ensure that they blend with your background and facial complexion.
You can choose from styles such as shirt sweaters, suits, button-down shirts, blazers, and much more. The clothes come in different colors, like black, white, and gray.
The outfit selection depends on your occupation or preferences. For instance, if you are a doctor, you can opt for a doctor’s coat-style preset.
Other styles I liked were semi-casual ones, such as fitted t-shirts, cardigans, and jackets.
AI Light, Color, and Posture Enhancements
In most cases, the selfies on your smartphone aren’t well-lit, or your posture won’t suit a professional setting. Headshot Pro solves this by enhancing your photo’s lighting and color, and your posture.
Remember that the more pictures you upload, the better the output. The AI tool suggests that you upload about 16 images, but you can add more if you want.
Ensure you select your best photos because the AI is trained to enhance what it’s given. I uploaded one selfie with a darker eye area, and the results weren’t pleasant.
Security and Privacy
Headshot Pro gives you full ownership and commercial use for your AI-generated headshots. Your uploaded images are only used to train the AI and then deleted after seven days.
According to the company, data is stored securely on third-party servers within the United States.
Additionally, it promises to delete all headshots and data from its databases within 30 days.

Headshot Pro – Verdict
Headshot Pro is a pretty good AI photo generator. Apart from a few images that look disfigured, which may result from poor uploads, the tool is generally worth trying.
I found the tool relatively expensive, but if you compare the prices to other traditional photoshoots, it’s a cost-effective solution.
