Real before & after

A professional headshot built from the face you actually uploaded

Outfit, backdrop and light change while facial identity and framing remain the reference.

The control other tools hide

You don't pick a model. You pick what survives.

Most img2img tools give you one abstract “strength” slider. We turn it into decisions a human actually makes.

Keep — hard constraints

Locked items become model routing, region masks and post-composition — not just a sentence in the prompt.

  • Face — it's still the same person. Identity reference plus face-region protection.
  • Subject — the product, pet or object keeps its shape, logo and key details.
  • Composition — pose and layout stay put via structure and depth control.
  • Text & Logo — original pixels are preserved, never re-drawn by the model.

Change — creative freedom

One tap per intent. Each chip compiles into a structured instruction with the right negative constraints.

  • Style — anime, watercolor, film, 3D, oil paint and 40+ more.
  • Background — a new scene behind an untouched subject.
  • Outfit — swap clothing while the person stays the person.
  • Lighting — golden hour, studio, neon night, overcast.

Subtle

Light touch: tone, light, small edits. Routed to precise editing models.

Balanced

The default. Obvious change with stable identity and layout.

Creative

Big reimagining. Structure loosens — fine details may drift, on purpose.

Three steps

From photo to finished image in under a minute

Upload & auto-detect

Drop any JPG, PNG or WebP. We recognize portraits, products, sketches and interiors, and pre-lock what usually matters for that kind of image.

Lock, describe, set strength

Toggle what to keep, tap what to change, pick Subtle, Balanced or Creative. No denoising values, no seed numbers, no model menus.

Compare, download, iterate

Slide before/after, download free with no watermark, then keep editing the result with plain language — no re-upload needed.

One-tap starts

Prompt templates that fill the tool for you

Tap any template — it configures keep, change and strength, then scrolls you back to the studio.

Complete guide

Create a professional AI headshot from one photo

Keepframe's free AI headshot generator turns a clear selfie or casual portrait into a professional profile image. Face lock is the central control: the tool changes outfit, background and lighting while trying to preserve recognizable facial features. Your first headshot is free with no sign up and no watermark.

What you can make

LinkedIn and CV profiles

Create a clean head-and-shoulders portrait with a neutral studio or office background. Choose an outfit appropriate to the role rather than asking for a broad personality change.

Team and speaker pages

Test a consistent background and lighting direction across individual portraits. Review identity and framing before using any result as an official profile image.

Professional social accounts

Convert a casual phone photo into a polished creator, consultant or founder portrait while keeping expression and facial structure recognizable.

How to get a controlled result

A three-step workflow for AI Headshot Generator

Upload one clear face

Use a front-facing or slight three-quarter portrait with visible eyes, even light and enough resolution. Avoid group photos, sunglasses and aggressive beauty filters.

Lock face and choose the change

Keep Face and Composition on. Select Outfit, Background or Lighting, and start with Balanced strength.

Describe role, clothing and backdrop

Use concrete language such as navy blazer, light gray studio and soft window light. If the result drifts, remove extra changes and lower strength.

Prompt examples

Copy one as a starting point, then change only the details that matter to your image.

  1. Create a professional LinkedIn headshot with a navy blazer, light gray studio backdrop and soft window light; keep the exact face.
  2. Turn this casual portrait into a friendly startup founder headshot, dark crewneck, warm modern office background.
  3. Create a polished medical professional headshot with simple scrubs and a clean neutral clinic background; preserve identity.
  4. Make a formal speaker-bio portrait with a charcoal jacket, subtle gradient backdrop and flattering softbox lighting.

Common problems and fixes

Use these checks before increasing change strength or adding more instructions.

It does not look like you. Lower strength, keep Face locked and change only outfit or background in the next pass.
Skin looks overprocessed. Ask for natural skin texture and soft daylight instead of beauty or glamour language.
Glasses change. Use a sharper source and state that the exact glasses must remain; inspect frames closely.
Profile crop is awkward. Start with head and shoulders visible, then choose the 1:1 aspect ratio for profile use.

Honest limits

What AI still gets wrong — and what we do about it

No “100% accurate” promises. Here's the truth, and the workaround.

Faces can drift at Creative strength. If it stops looking like you, drop to Balanced or Subtle — Face lock works hardest there.
Hands and fingers remain the hardest thing in AI imaging. Keep them out of the change region when you can.
Tiny text and fine logos may blur if they're not locked. Turn on Text & Logo lock — we composite the original pixels back.
Complex textures like lace, fur or micro-patterns can simplify. Subtle strength preserves them best.
Big scene swaps can nudge edges of the composition. Lock Composition and expect minor boundary shifts, not layout changes.
Failed generations happen. Timeouts and moderation blocks are labeled clearly and never consume your free quota.
FAQ

Questions, answered straight

Face lock uses the uploaded portrait as the identity reference. AI can still drift, so lower the strength and simplify the requested changes if the result stops looking like you.

Use one front-facing or three-quarter portrait with good light, visible eyes and head and shoulders in frame. Phone photos can work when they are sharp.

Yes. Describe the clothing, backdrop and light you want. Making one or two focused changes usually preserves identity better.

Your first headshot is free with no sign up and no watermark. Failed generations do not consume the free result.

Yes, provided you own the source photo and review the generated image for accuracy before publishing it.
