Hey folks --
I have a team of people that need decent looking website headshots that should all look reasonably similar in style and environment. For context, it's a team of a few doctors and nurses. I want them to be able to upload their selfies in their scrubs and have the output look like they were all taken in the same session rather than the somewhat random backgrounds I've seen produced by tools I'm familiar with. It's fine if the background is super out of focus so I don't need details to be the exact same. Just similar hues, lighting etc. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

With the AI photo craze going full speed in 2025, I decided to run a proper test. I tried 7 of the most talked-about AI headshot tools to see which ones deliver results worth putting on LinkedIn, your CV, or social profiles. Disclosure, I'm working on Photographe.ai and this review was part of my work to understand the competition.

With Photographe.ai I'm looking to make this more affordable and go beyond professional headshots with ability to try haircuts, outfits, and replace an image with yourself in it instead. I'd be super happy to have your feedback, we have free models you can use for testing.

In a nutshell:

• Photographe.ai (Disclosure, I built it) – $19 for 1,000 photos. Fast, great resemblance about 80% of the time. Best value by far.

• PhotoAI.com – $49 for 1,000 photos. Good quality but forces weird smiles too often. 60% resemblance.

• Betterpic.io / HeadshotPro.com – $29-35 for 20-40 photos. Studio-like but looks like a stranger. Resemblance? 20% at best.

• Aragon.ai – $35 for 40 photos. Same problem - same smiles, same generic looks.

• Canva & ChatGPT-4o – Fun for playing around, useless for realistic headshots of yourself.

Final Thoughts:

If you want headshots that really look like you, Photographe.ai and PhotoAI are the way to go. AI rarely nails it on the first try, you need freedom to generate more until it clicks - and that’s what those platforms give you. Also both uses the latest tech (Flux mainly).

If you’re after polished studio shots but that may not look like yourself, Betterpic and HeadshotPro will do.

And forget Canva or ChatGPT-4o for this - wrong tools for the job.
