As the office manager for my wife's law firm, Trusler Legal PLLC, I was tasked with obtaining updated headshots for our team. However, with half of our staff working remotely, coordinating photographers seemed like a daunting and expensive undertaking. That's when I discovered AI headshots, an idea that turned out to be a game-changer for our firm.
I tested several services with varying results. Just how varied? Take a look at a sample of them below. I apologize in advance if you were drinking anything while you were reading this, because you may have spit it out laughing.
I didn't do anything on any of these services other than upload the same set of selfies. I didn't specify anything to generate the variations, so I'm not sure how I ended up with some of them. I do kind of like the Superman version though.
Examples from some of the services I tested first
After I stopped laughing at those results, I found the site I ended up using. I was impressed by the remarkable job this service did. The platform was incredibly easy to use, and the results spoke for themselves. I tested it on myself first, providing eight selfies (some cropped from group photos), and received 100 different high-quality headshots in return. The cost was pretty reasonable, especially considering the convenience and the number of options provided.

While the photos may not be absolutely perfect, I reminded our team that clients simply need to put a name to a face, and these headshots more than serve that purpose. Even the most self-critical among us was able to find 10-15 usable variations from the 100 generated. As I told our staff, the good-enough photos that are now live on our site are far better than the perfect ones we had been putting off.
I wholeheartedly recommend this service for anyone in need of professional, diverse, and cost-effective headshots. The platform's ease of use, coupled with its high-quality output, makes it an invaluable tool for businesses looking to update their online presence quickly and efficiently.
