AI headshot generator: professional headshots from one selfie
A stronger first impression, still unmistakably you
Portreya is an AI headshot generator for individuals. There is no model training, no 20-photo upload and no subscription. Packs start at $5.99 one-time for 2 photos, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Generation takes about a minute per photo.
An AI headshot generator takes a photo of you and produces a professional-looking headshot: cleaner light, a usable background, and framing that fits LinkedIn, a CV, or a company bio. The good ones keep your likeness and only change what you ask for (outfit, backdrop, expression). The weak ones invent a face that only vaguely looks like you. Generation takes about a minute per photo.
Input: one clear, recent selfie (phone photos are fine).
Output: professional framing, light, and background while keeping your face.
Use cases: LinkedIn, resumes, speaker bios, portfolios, personal sites.
How Portreya works in four steps
Create a free account, upload one clear selfie, choose a look available with your paid plan and pack, then generate. Template looks set the styling for you; additional controls depend on your plan and pack. You are not waiting for a private model to train on a large selfie set, and you can change the next photo without being locked into one trained style. Generation takes about a minute per photo.
Step 1: free account, no card required to sign up.
Step 2: one clear selfie (more source photos optional, not required).
Steps 3 and 4: choose a look in your paid pack, generate, and download when ready.
No model training step
Many AI headshot tools ask for 10 to 30 selfies, then spend 15 minutes to 2 hours training a private model before you see a single result. Portreya generates each headshot individually instead. That removes the long training wait and lets every photo follow the exact choices you make for that shot.
No 15-minute-to-2-hour training queue before generation.
Each output follows the clothing, pose, background, and lighting you selected.
Change the next photo without being locked into one trained style.
One clear selfie is enough
Portreya is built for low-friction individual use: one clear, recent selfie is enough to start. You can add more source photos, but you do not need the 10-30 photo upload set many trained-model tools ask for. Face the light, avoid heavy filters and sunglasses, and keep the full face in frame.
Use one recent selfie with good lighting and no heavy filters.
Phone photos are fine; a studio source image is not required.
Best for LinkedIn, resumes, speaker bios, portfolios, and personal websites.
Choose a look for each photo
Choose a pack for the photo you need, whether that is a formal CV portrait or a warmer LinkedIn profile. Available controls depend on your plan and pack. The Studio plan includes clothing colours in the six template portrait packs and background changes in Energy and Color Vibes, plus Studio pack background, pose, clothing, branding and framing options.
Check the controls included with your selected pack and plan.
Choose from the available looks before creating your next photo.
Use the final set commercially for profiles, resumes, websites, and bios.

No recurring subscription for the individual package.
Photo privacy and deletion
Portreya processes uploaded selfies to generate the requested headshots. We do not claim security certifications we do not have. You can request deletion of uploaded photos and generated outputs when you no longer need them.
Selfies are used for your requested headshot generation.
Deletion requests for uploads and outputs are supported.
Security claims stay limited to what the product actually supports.
It is software that turns a photo of you into a professional-looking headshot: better light, framing, and background while keeping your likeness. Generation takes about a minute per photo.
How long does an AI headshot take?
There is no multi-hour model training step first. Generation takes about a minute per photo.
Do I need 20 selfies to train a model?
No. One clear, recent selfie is enough to start on Portreya. You can add more source photos, but you do not need a large training set or a studio source image.
Will it still look like me?
That is the goal. Use one recent selfie with good lighting so the output improves the setting without changing your identity. Pick the frame that matches how people already recognize you.
Can I use AI headshots commercially?
Yes for typical professional uses: LinkedIn, resumes, personal websites, speaker bios, and sales or real estate profiles. For press kits or high-stakes editorial work, a coached photographer session can still be the better path.
How many photos do I need?
One clear, recent selfie is enough to start. You can add more source photos, but you do not need a studio photo or a large upload set.
Can I create a free account?
Yes. Creating an account is free; every photo needs a paid pack. Upload one clear selfie and choose a pack when you are ready.
How much does a paid package cost?
One-time paid packs (no subscription): 1 Pack $5.99 for 2 photos, Try-On $27.49 for 10, Studio $34.99 for 15. Generated photos are yours to keep for professional profile use. See pricing for the live ladder.
