Honestly, half these apps claim “professional” but hand you something between a dating profile pic and, like, a Sims 2 character. Saw what @mikeappsreviewer posted, and yeah, there’s a ton out there, but I really think we’re all overthinking it a bit. I get you want something fast—who has time for a full photo shoot right before an interview?
Tried a couple myself: HeadshotPro and Try It On left me looking maybe like my third cousin, so “quick and easy” sometimes = uncanny valley. Besides, those AI things still struggle with glasses and darker skin tones—don’t get me started on what they did to my beard, lol.
But here’s a REAL unpopular move: why not just rope in a friend with a decent phone camera and take a bunch near a window? Even regular iPhones snap decent portrait mode shots (just clean up the background). Afterward, throw it into Snapseed (for Android & iOS, free), adjust a bit of brightness, contrast, and bam—honestly looks way more natural than 90% of the AI ones.
If you really want to see how you’d look as a business cyborg, I’d probably go with Aragon.AI (as mentioned above). It’s way less “animated mannequin” than some of the rest, if you’re cool dropping a couple bucks.
Otherwise, just remember—hiring managers want to see a face, not a digital wax statue. Skip the uncanny for now and stick with “human but tidied up.” If you’re desperate, yeah, Fotor isn’t useless… but don’t expect it to pass for a studio shoot unless your interviewer is squinting through dial-up.
