What makes a professional headshot useful?
A profile photo should help people recognize you.

How to review an AI headshot
- Does the face still look like you?
- Are your hair, glasses, and skin tone accurate?
- Does the clothing fit your role and audience?
- Is the background clear and free of distracting text?
- Does the crop work at the size shown on your profile?
- Would a colleague recognize you?
Reject a result that changes your identity or adds misleading details.
Do not use a generated portrait where an official, unaltered photo is required.
Check privacy before uploading
