About this free AI tool
TKCORE AI lists this as a free tool in the directory: overview, use cases, a short tutorial, and FAQs—plus links to related tools and blog guides.
Free AI headshot generator on TKCORE AI: upload 1–6 reference selfies, choose gender, attire, background, and expression, then pick the same image models as Text to Image (Midjourney V7, Z Image Turbo, Wan, Qwen Image, and more). Generate square or portrait-ratio professional photos for LinkedIn, resumes, company directories, and personal branding—without booking a studio.
The workflow is similar to dedicated headshot apps such as Aragon.ai, but lives inside your TKCORE account with shared plan limits, history, and downloads. Sign in to upload, generate, and save past runs.
Features
- Reference upload — drag-and-drop or file picker; JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC from your phone.
- Gender presets — match your selfies, or choose female / male presentation for clearer styling cues.
- Attire presets — corporate suit, business casual, creative casual, medical white coat, academic blazer.
- Background presets — studio gray, office blur, outdoor bokeh, pure white, city skyline.
- Expression — confident smile, neutral professional, or friendly & approachable.
- Model picker — same catalog as Text to Image; aspect ratio, optional negative prompt, and plan limits table on-page.
- Results & history — preview in the gallery, download PNG/JPEG, delete or revisit signed-in account history.
When to use it
- LinkedIn & professional social — consistent, studio-lit profile photos without a photographer.
- Resumes & CVs — shoulders-up framing with neutral or office backgrounds.
- Team & org directories — aligned look across roles while keeping each person’s likeness from selfies.
- Healthcare & academia — medical coat or scholarly presets for credential and faculty pages.
- Remote & startup teams — refresh headshots when roles change without coordinating a group shoot.
Problems, value, and outcomes
Problems it helps solve: expensive photo shoots, inconsistent DIY selfie lighting, or needing several outfit/background variants before a job search or rebrand. Value: one guided studio page with fixed controls, model choice, and downloadable results stored on your account when signed in.
How TKCORE compares
TKCORE Headshot vs. a standalone headshot app: you keep one login, shared image-generation quotas with Text to Image, and a familiar model catalog. Standalone tools optimize for likeness from many selfies; here you combine reference uploads with explicit gender, attire, and background controls plus your preferred image model. For pure creative scenes without a face reference, use Text to Image instead.
How it works
Getting strong AI headshots
- Upload clear selfies — face visible, even lighting, no heavy filters, sunglasses, or extreme angles.
- Use multiple references — front plus slight left/right (up to six photos) helps preserve likeness.
- Set gender & attire — match photos when unsure; pick corporate suit or business casual for LinkedIn.
- Choose background & expression — studio gray or office blur for most corporate profiles; confident smile is a safe default.
- Pick a model — Z Image Turbo for quick drafts; Midjourney V7 or Wan for higher polish; check plan limits before batch runs.
- Generate, compare, download — review Results, save favorites, revisit History for resume updates later.
Photo tips (before you upload)
- Lighting: face the window or a soft lamp; avoid harsh overhead shadows.
- Framing: shoulders and head in frame; leave a little space above the hair.
- Background: plain walls work—our presets replace the backdrop anyway.
- Consistency: similar lighting across reference photos yields more coherent outputs.
Example outcome
Example workflow: a product manager uploads four phone selfies, selects Female, Business casual, and Studio gray, generates with Z Image Turbo at 1:1, downloads the best portrait for LinkedIn, and keeps the run in History to try Office background the next week.
Examples
LinkedIn profile setup

A shoulders-up professional portrait with soft studio lighting, natural skin texture, and a polished background suitable for LinkedIn or a resume PDF.

FAQ
- How many reference photos should I upload?
- At least one clear selfie is required. Up to six photos from different angles help the AI preserve your likeness, especially when combined with Gender: Match photos.
- Which image model should I use for headshots?
- Z Image Turbo is fast for drafts (one image per run). Midjourney V7, Wan, or Qwen models can add polish; each uses the same plan category limits as Text to Image—see the Plan limits table on this page.
- Does each Generate click use my image quota?
- Yes. Headshot generation consumes one use from the quota pool for your selected model group (Midjourney V7, Z Image Turbo, or Other models), identical to Text to Image.
- Can I choose gender, outfit, and background separately?
- Yes. Gender presets adjust presentation cues; attire and background are independent chips. Expression controls smile and demeanor.
- What aspect ratio works best for LinkedIn?
- 1:1 square is the default and fits most profile crops. Use 4:3 or 3:4 if your platform prefers a taller portrait frame.
- Can I use the results commercially?
- You may use outputs for personal branding and professional profiles. Review TKCORE terms and your selected model provider policies for commercial team or advertising use.
- Do I need to sign in?
- You can read this page without an account. Upload, generate, account history, and downloads require sign-in.
- How is this different from Text to Image?
- Headshot is built around uploaded selfies plus preset styling (gender, attire, background). Text to Image starts from a written prompt for any scene or subject.
