AI Headshot
Generator App

Using Eltima AI Headshot Generator is simple and user-friendly. Here's how it works:

1. Upload Your Photos: First, you'll provide a set of your own photos (we recommend around 8-12 clear headshots or selfies). The app will guide you through the upload process. Make sure these photos meet the quality tips we provide (good lighting, various angles, etc.) for best results.

2. Create Your AI Profile: The app transforms your photos into a hyper-realistic digital model - your personal AI persona. This profile becomes the foundation for generating all future images and videos.

3. Choose a Template & Aspect Ratio: Now you can start creating! Browse the 200+ style templates and select one you like. You can also choose the output aspect ratio - either 1:1 (square) for classic profile pictures or 9:16 (vertical) for a portrait/phone wallpaper look.

4. Generate Photos or Videos: Now the fun part - hit the generate button. The app will create a new AI headshot photo of you in the style you chose. You can also create a 5-second AI animated video instead (using your trained model to animate your portrait). Each photo typically takes only a few seconds to generate, and a video may take a bit longer (but still usually under a minute). The process is fast, so you can experiment with many styles quickly.

5. Save & Share: Preview the results. If you love them, save them to your device or share directly on social media. You can generate as many variations as you want, as long as you have enough coins (see below). Enjoy your new AI-generated headshots!

We understand that you may want your AI-generated content to fit different platforms or purposes. In Eltima AI Headshot Generator, you can choose between two aspect ratios for your results:

1:1 (Square) - This is a square format, perfect for profile pictures, Instagram posts, or anytime you need a symmetric look. Most professional headshots are done in roughly square or vertical crops, so 1:1 gives you a nice, centered image of yourself. If you plan to use the headshot for LinkedIn, Facebook profile, etc., square works great.

9:16 (Vertical) - This is a tall, portrait orientation (the same ratio as most phone screens or an Instagram Story/TikTok video). Choosing 9:16 will give you a taller image or video, which can be useful if you want a full-body avatar shot or a portrait that you might use as a phone wallpaper or in a story/reel. The content will still focus on you, but there will be more background visible vertically.

You can select the aspect ratio when choosing a template (some templates might be optimized for one or the other, but generally the choice is yours). The ability to choose aspect ratio ensures your AI headshots and videos are already formatted for wherever you want to post or use them - no extra cropping needed on your end.

The app is free to download from the App Store, but generating headshot photos and videos requires a subscription (there is no free plan for unlimited use). We offer flexible subscription options. You can choose between a weekly subscription for short-term use or a yearly plan for the best long-term value. Both subscriptions renew automatically, and you can cancel anytime if you decide it’s not for you.

Coins are the in-app credit system used by Eltima AI Headshot Generator. They’re the currency you spend whenever you create new content—whether that’s generating photos, producing videos, or training a brand-new AI profile.

How it works:

Every active subscription gives you access to content generation and comes with a recurring allowance of coins, automatically added to your account each week. If you’re on a weekly plan, your balance refreshes every week; if you’re on a yearly plan, you’ll also receive coins weekly throughout the entire year. In addition, you can purchase extra coin packs at any time directly through the app.

Creating photos, videos, or new profiles all require coins. Because videos and new profiles are more resource-intensive, they use more coins than a single photo. To keep things simple, your current coin balance is always visible in the app, so you’ll know exactly how much you can create at any time.

If you run out of coins before your next renewal, you don’t have to wait—additional coin packs can be purchased directly in the app. And unlike some apps, unused coins don’t expire; as long as your subscription remains active, they accumulate, allowing you to save them for bigger creative sessions whenever you’d like.

This setup provides both structure and flexibility: regular coin renewals ensure a steady flow of creative resources, while optional coin packs make sure you’re never limited when inspiration strikes.

To get the most accurate and photorealistic headshots, it's very important to choose the right training photos. The quality of the AI's output heavily depends on the input. Here are some guidelines for selecting your photos (this is also explained during onboarding, but we can't stress it enough):

Use Clear, High-Quality Images: Upload photos that are not blurry or grainy. The better the resolution and clarity of your face, the better the AI can learn your features.

Variety of Angles & Expressions: Include a variety of shots - different angles (front, slight side profiles), different facial expressions, and different backgrounds or lighting conditions. A diverse set of photos helps the AI model capture your likeness more robustly.

Consistent Subject (You!): Make sure all the training photos are of the same person (you). Avoid group photos or pictures of other people. The AI is trying to learn one face - yours - so give it consistent data.

Good Lighting, No Heavy Filters: Photos taken in good lighting (natural daylight or well-lit rooms) work best. Avoid pictures with extreme filters or face-altering effects. Also, try to avoid heavy sunglasses, masks, or anything that obscures your face. The more naturally you appear in the photos, the more "true-to-life" your AI headshots will be.

Include Your Head and Shoulders: The photos should be primarily headshots or upper body shots, focusing on your face. This ensures the model learns your facial features clearly. A mix of close-up face shots and some upper-body shots is ideal.

Keep Appearance Consistent: It helps if your photos reflect a consistent appearance (for example, similar hair color/cut across photos). Minor variations are fine, but if you drastically change your look in some photos (e.g., different hairstyles or glasses on/off), the AI might get confused. Pick photos that represent how you usually look.

By following these tips, you'll increase the chances of the AI generating portraits that look exactly like you (just in different styles or scenarios). Remember, the better the input, the better the output!

Not long at all! Eltima AI Headshot Generator is designed to give you results quickly. Here's the typical timeline:

Initial Model Training: After you upload your photos, the AI model training usually takes just a few minutes (often around 4 minutes) to process. It can vary depending on server load, but it's generally fast. You don't have to sit and watch it – you can close the app, and you'll get a notification when your AI model is ready.

Generating Photos: Once the model is trained, creating individual photos is almost instant. In most cases, an AI headshot image will be generated in a matter of seconds. You can tap a style template, hit generate, and see the result appear shortly after. This makes it easy to create dozens of variations quickly.

Generating Videos: Creating the 5-second animated video takes a bit more processing than a single image, but it's still fairly quick. Typically, an AI video will be ready in under 5 minutes. The app might spend a short time "animating" your photo to produce the video clip.

Overall Turnaround: From start to finish, you could have your first AI headshots within 10 minutes of downloading the app (assuming you have your training photos ready to go). Many users are amazed at how fast they can go from a few plain selfies to a gallery of professional-looking portraits and a cool animated video.

In summary, you won't be waiting long - no hours or days of turnaround like traditional photo studios. Same-day results are the norm, usually within minutes. Our AI photo generator from photo ensures quick processing while maintaining high quality. If, for some reason, a process is taking unusually long or seems stuck, you can always contact support. We strive to deliver your AI content as fast as possible without compromising quality.

Aside from still headshot photos, our app can also create short AI-animated videos (about 5 seconds long) of your portrait. These are like moving portraits - imagine your photo coming to life for a few seconds. Here's what you need to know about this feature:

Lifelike Animations: The AI takes a generated image of you and animates it slightly. There is no audio in these clips (they're not talking videos, just visual animation), and they last about 5 seconds.

How to Make One:

After training your AI model and generating a pack of photos, simply open any of your finished images. On each photo, you’ll find a button to create a video. Tap it, and the app will generate a short animated clip from that photo. Creating videos costs coins, just like generating photos.

Use Cases: These mini-videos are perfect for sharing on social media or just surprising your friends. For instance, you can use them as an eye-catching profile video, a story, or just a fun way to show a "living photo" of yourself. They add personality beyond a static picture.

Quality and Realism: We use the same AI model of you to create the videos, so the animated face should resemble you just as well as the photos do. The animations are deliberately short and subtle to maintain realism - the goal is a cool but natural-looking motion.

Give the animated video feature a try after you've seen your photos. It's a unique way to see yourself in action, and it only takes a few seconds to watch (or to create)! Many users find this feature brings an extra "wow factor" to their AI creations.

Yes, you can! The app supports multiple profiles, so you can create AI headshots for yourself, friends, family, or anyone else (with their permission). Each person, however, needs their own AI model (profile), which requires a one-time training process. In practical terms, that means:

To set up a new profile, simply upload that person’s photos and let the app train a separate AI model. Training a new model costs more coins since it involves running a full setup for that individual and is more resource-intensive. Once the model is ready, you can generate headshots or videos for that profile - just like with your first one. You can switch between your saved profiles in the app to generate content for each. For example, you could have one profile for yourself, one for a friend (if they gave you permission and photos to create their headshots), etc. Just make sure you keep the photos organized by profile - uploading person A's photos into person B's profile will not work (and could produce very odd results!). The app will guide you to avoid mixing profiles.

Important: Your coin balance is shared across all profiles in your account. That means you don’t get separate coin balances per person - instead, you use one shared pool of coins for all profiles you’ve created. Keep this in mind if you’re managing multiple profiles, and consider adding extra coins if you want to generate a lot of content.

Many users stick to one profile (for themselves), but we definitely have users who create a second profile to see what a partner or sibling might look like in AI headshots, for fun, or even to generate cute couple photos via AI. Just remember each profile is separate and costs coins to set up initially. After that, you're good to go! (Note: Please only upload photos of others if you have their permission to do so. We take privacy seriously for all users.)

Your privacy and data security are top priorities for us. We know it can feel sensitive to upload personal photos, so we've put strong measures in place to protect your data:

Used for AI Training Only: The photos you upload are only used to train your personal AI model. We do not share these photos with any third parties, and they aren't used to train any public/general AI beyond your own model.

Automatic Deletion of Uploaded Photos: After the AI model is trained, your original training photos are deleted from our servers. In fact, we purge those images very quickly (usually immediately or within a short time after training is complete). We don't keep your personal pictures on our servers longer than necessary to do the job. This minimizes any risk of data leaks.

Secure Storage of Models/Results: Your AI model (the learned representation of your face) is stored securely so that you can continue generating new images without re-uploading photos each time. This model data is kept private and is associated only with your account. We typically retain the model for a certain period (for example, one month) unless you delete your profile or request deletion earlier. Your generated images and videos might be saved in the app for your convenience (so you can browse your results), but only you can access them.

You Have Control: You can delete your AI model/profile at any time from within the app. If you delete a profile (or your account), all associated data (the model and any stored images) will be permanently removed from our systems. Likewise, if you delete any specific generated image or video from the app, it's removed from our servers. We provide these options so you're in full control.

No Selling or Misusing of Data: We will never sell your photos or personal data to anyone. That includes your uploaded photos, the AI model data, and the outputs. Also, you retain ownership of your AI-generated images (more on that below), so we won't be using your face or images in any advertisements or anything sketchy.

App Privacy Practices: The app may collect some usage data (like crash reports or analytics) just to improve the service, as is standard, but this info is not tied to your personal photos. You can review our Privacy Policy for full details on what data is collected and how it's handled. We comply with all App Store privacy requirements and then some.

In short, your photos are safe with Eltima AI Headshot Generator. We take privacy seriously and have implemented industry-best practices to ensure your data remains private. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to contact our support, and we'll be happy to provide more detail. We want you to feel comfortable using the app, knowing your images are in good hands.

You do! You retain full ownership and rights to the images and videos generated of you. We believe that since these AI headshots are images of you, created for you, they should be yours to use however you want. Once you've generated a photo or video, you can download it and treat it like any other photo you took yourself. Feel free to use your AI headshots on LinkedIn profiles, Instagram, Facebook, dating profiles, your personal website, or even print them out for personal use. There are no usage restrictions from our side. In fact, we grant you full commercial rights as well, meaning if you wanted to use an AI-generated headshot for a business purpose (say, in marketing materials, or as a headshot in a book, etc.), you are allowed to do so. Some key points about ownership and usage:

Our Terms of Service specify that the user (you) has ownership of the output content. We don't claim any ownership over the images of your face that our AI creates. They are considered your content.

You can edit them, share them, or even use third-party filters on them just as you would any photo. (For example, if you get an AI headshot and then want to touch it up in another app, that's totally fine.)

If you're a content creator or professional, yes, you can use these in your portfolio, in your articles, videos, etc. Many users generate professional-looking portraits here and then use them on resumes, company websites, or LinkedIn with great success. This makes it one of the best headshot apps for iPhone users who want studio-quality results without leaving home.

We love when users share their results, but that's entirely up to you. We do not automatically share or publish any of your images. (Occasionally, we might reach out to ask for permission if we want to feature a cool before-and-after on our website or something, but that's only with your explicit consent. By default, everything is private.)

So, rest assured: the outputs belong to you. This is also stated in our privacy and terms - we want you to have peace of mind that you're not giving away the rights to your own face. Many other services follow this principle as well, confirming that the user has full ownership of every headshot generated. We're no different in that regard.
