# AI headshot generator: professional photos from a selfie

> NanoBanana's AI headshot generator turns an ordinary selfie into a professional headshot: a studio or office background, business attire, soft light and a clean crop for LinkedIn, résumés and team pages. A headshot costs 20 credits with Nano Banana 2 or 45 with Nano Banana Pro, and new accounts get 40 free credits. The model redraws the photo, so check the likeness before you use it.

Upload a clear selfie, choose a background and outfit, and Nano Banana turns it into a polished professional headshot without a photo studio.

## Headshots that look like you on a good day

- **Likeness first**: Your face, hair and features stay recognizable; you describe everything else.
- **Studio lighting**: Soft, flattering light and a clean background replace the light of the original selfie.
- **Outfits on demand**: Blazers, shirts or smart casual, without a new photo shoot.
- **Matching team photos**: Use one prompt for every colleague so the whole team page looks consistent.

## How to make an AI headshot

1. **Take a good selfie**: Face a window, look at the camera and skip sunglasses and heavy filters.
2. **Upload and describe**: Say which background, outfit and crop you want.
3. **Review and download**: Pick the most natural result and download it for LinkedIn or print.

## Tips for a natural-looking AI headshot

The quality of the selfie decides most of the result:

- Use daylight from a window in front of you, not overhead light
- Hold the camera at eye level, at arm's length
- Take off glasses with strong reflections
- Upload two or three selfies so the model sees more than one angle
- Ask for “natural skin texture” to avoid a plastic look

## Where to use an AI headshot

LinkedIn and other professional profiles, résumés and CVs, speaker bios, company team pages and email signatures. Official documents such as passports and ID cards need an unedited photo, so do not use an AI headshot there.
