Best AI Headshot Generators (2026): Price, Photos and Turnaround

How we compared them

For each service we opened the official pricing page, its free-tool or help page, and its App Store or Google Play listing when the company has one. We recorded the listed price, headshots, turnaround, photos you upload, free option, refund terms and platforms. Sale prices sit next to the struck-through regular price. Where an official site gives different figures on different pages, as Secta Labs' and Dreamwave's do, we quote both versions and compare on the less generous one. Prices change often, so check the pricing page before you pay.

Side-by-side comparison

HeadshotPro: one-time packages from 1–3 selfies

HeadshotPro sells three one-time packages with no subscription, made from 1–3 selfies. A bigger package brings more headshots and faster delivery, and only Executive has 4K downloads. Professional and Executive both come in portrait or landscape format and add a free redo within 14 days. Every package carries a Realism Guarantee: if the results don't look like you, you get a redo or a full refund, but the refund terms require that you paid less than 14 days ago and haven't downloaded any photos from the order. Uploaded selfies are deleted 30 days after generation and never used to train AI models. The free tool makes one square HD headshot from one selfie, with no sign-up or card. Teams buy credits that never expire, each covering one person's 40 headshots and a free retry.

Aragon: the web packages and an official phone app

Aragon is one of two services here with official iOS and Android apps, both from Aragon AI, Inc. Its three web packages were 20% off on October 2 as a limited-time offer, and they differ in headshots, outfit and background choices, and speed. Basic and Standard photos are 896 × 1088 pixels; Executive's are 1792 × 2176. The app takes six photos, selfies included, and charges App Store subscriptions whose prices vary by region. Its listing also names free AI editing tools beyond headshots, such as a background changer, Magic Eraser, photo restoration and an image upscaler, plus themed photo packs. A full refund applies only if you haven't downloaded your photos; after that, support decides case by case. Every account gets free credits, but free generations are limited per day, may wait on a list and come at lower resolution.

BetterPic: 4K and a commercial license on every plan

BetterPic delivers every plan in 4K and includes full ownership and a commercial license, which matters if the headshot goes on a company site or in ads. It asks for 8–12 varied photos taken at different times. Packages are one-time and priced in US dollars, with euros and pounds at checkout; BetterPic notes that local pricing may vary. The pricing page shows each price next to a higher struck-through one. Pro costs a little more than Basic and triples the headshots. The free tier gives 10 headshots in 4K with no card, but free jobs wait 60 to 90 days in a shared queue, and BetterPic asks permission to use free results in its own marketing; paying cuts that to 1–2 hours depending on the plan (the free-tool page says under an hour). Refunds are possible within 7 days, and only if training hasn't started.

Dreamwave: one photo and human touchups

Dreamwave needs one clear photo for an individual shoot. Its three packages were on sale on October 2 and differ in photos, redos and retouching: the largest adds unlimited human touchups, and the page doesn't say how many photos they cover. BetterPic Expert lists unlimited human edits on one photo. The headshots page promises a gallery in about two hours, while the pricing page says ready in minutes. The pricing page doesn't say whether payment is one-time, and the Terms mention both packages and subscriptions, so check at checkout. All purchases are final sale, and redos must be requested within 30 days. Personal data is deleted by default within 30 days of no use and isn't used for training or sold.

Secta Labs: one plan and a 30-day refund

Secta Labs sells individuals one one-time plan, on sale on October 2, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no questions asked: the most open refund terms here. It also asks for the most input, 25 or more photos from your camera roll. The pricing page lists 200+ HD photos and 90+ styles and says portraits arrive "in minutes", with no time on the plan card. The site menu says 7 styles and 100+ HD photos in under 2 hours; homepage lines say under an hour, within 2 hours and "a few hours later", and other lines mention 130+ or 200+ styles. We use the lower figures in the comparison. Remix editing is listed as an add-on; 24/7 live chat with a person is included, and teams get custom pricing. No free tier is listed, and the site links no App Store or Google Play app.

Canva ProfilePhoto: a headshot inside the editor

Canva's headshot generator is ProfilePhoto, an app by a third-party developer, Imagineers Studio Inc., opened from the Apps panel in the Canva editor. You upload one selfie, choose a gender identity, can keep your facial expression and pick from 10+ styles. Downloads are high-resolution JPG or PNG, and the headshot stays in your design for more edits, though tools like Magic Eraser and Background Remover are marked Pro. After 2 free credits you wait 24 hours for more free ones. Extra credits are sold in the app, and the official pages don't list their price or headshots per generation, and give turnaround only as "in minutes". It suits someone who already designs in Canva and needs one or two headshots.

Outwow Headshot Studio (our product)

Outwow (outwow.app) is a web AI photo studio, and Headshot Studio is one of its 8 tools. It turns one selfie into 8 headshots in a corporate (suits, gray studio), startup (casual, soft office light) or creative (more color) style, changing the backdrop, outfit and angle from shot to shot, so you get different pictures for LinkedIn, a team page and a speaker bio. The tool page says face shape, hairline, skin texture and features come from your selfie, with no slimming or beauty filter. A run costs 8 photos, one per image returned, and a failed run costs nothing. Your upload is deleted within 24 hours.

The main difference is billing: Headshot Studio needs the Basic subscription ($19.99 a month) or a higher plan; Basic's 120 photos a month cover 15 runs and also work on Outwow's other tools. For a single set of headshots, a one-time package elsewhere avoids a subscription. Commercial use comes only with Premium and Ultra (from $39.99 a month), while BetterPic includes it on every plan. On the Free plan, the 3 free photos (once, watermarked) work on the Business Portrait template: one LinkedIn-style portrait on a neutral studio background for 1 photo.

Which one to pick

• Lowest one-time price: HeadshotPro Basic, 30 headshots in about 2 hours.
• Shortest stated time: HeadshotPro Executive or Aragon Executive, about 15 minutes (Dreamwave's pricing page and Canva say only "in minutes").
• Most headshots for $39 one-time: BetterPic Pro, 60 in 4K, against 50 from HeadshotPro Professional at the same price.
• Most listed photos per dollar on a one-time plan: Secta Labs, 100+ (the pricing page says 200+) for $49 one-time (regular $99).
• 4K and a commercial license on every plan: BetterPic, if you can upload 8–12 varied shots.
• Fewest photos to upload: Dreamwave, Canva's ProfilePhoto and Outwow take one; HeadshotPro takes 1–3.
• The easiest refund: Secta Labs, 30 days with no questions asked.
• Retouching by people: Dreamwave Best Value (unlimited touchups), or BetterPic Expert (unlimited edits on one photo).
• An official phone app: Aragon or Canva.
• Headshots plus other photo tools: Aragon's phone app, whose listing names free AI editing tools, or Outwow Headshot Studio in a browser, 8 headshots per run on Basic or higher.

Most of these list team options: HeadshotPro credits that never expire, BetterPic's per-seat plan and volume credits, Aragon's team plans, Dreamwave's bulk discounts and Secta Labs' custom pricing. Whichever service you choose, read its privacy terms before uploading; our checklist Is It Safe to Upload Your Face to an AI Photo App? shows which lines to look for.
