Halo is an AI headshot generator for iPhone and Android. Upload a selfie, prompt the look you want, get a clean headshot back in seconds.

No studio session. No scheduling. No waiting days for proofs. You take a selfie, tell Halo what kind of headshot you want, and it generates it. Do it again until the result works.

What is an AI headshot generator?

An AI headshot generator takes a selfie or portrait photo and uses AI to produce a clean, polished headshot — for a LinkedIn profile, resume, speaker bio, or dating app photo. The tools in this category split roughly three ways:

  • Subscription services (HeadshotPro, Aragon) — upload several selfies, wait for a batch of AI headshots back. Higher price, more polish.
  • Browser tools with headshot features (Canva) — fast, free-tier friendly, less specialized.
  • Mobile AI photo editors (Halo) — run it on your phone, iterate in real time, use the same app for other photo jobs.

Halo is the third kind. Fastest iteration. Works in the app you already have open.

What Halo does for headshots

Outfit
"Navy blazer," "white button-down," "business casual," "turtleneck." Halo swaps it.
Background
"Neutral studio gray," "soft office blur," "outdoor with greenery."
Vibe
"Professional but approachable." "Formal, corporate." "Creative, relaxed."
Styling
Hair, expression tweaks, lighting warmth. All prompt-driven.

Example prompts that work

Try these in Halo if you're starting out:

clean LinkedIn headshot, navy blazer, neutral backgroundput me in a white button-down against a studio gray backdropsame headshot, three variations with different outfitswarmer lighting, same face, slight smileprofessional but approachable — business casual

Common jobs behind this query

LinkedIn profile update
The single biggest use case. Most people update their LinkedIn photo once every few years; they don't want to book a photographer for it.
Resume / job application photo
Similar to LinkedIn but often needs to look more formal. Halo handles both with the right prompt.
Speaker bio / conference badge
Quick headshot for a submission deadline.
Dating app photos
A cleaner, more polished version of what you already post. Subtle, not heavily retouched.
Social profile refresh
Instagram, Twitter, Threads — same photo, updated direction.

When to use Halo

Use Halo if...

  • You need a headshot fast and don't want to book a session
  • You want to iterate on the result, not pay for a batch and hope
  • You edit photos on your phone
  • You also want to try outfit changes, room edits, or other photo jobs in the same app

Pick something else if...

  • You want a dedicated subscription-for-business-headshots flow — use HeadshotPro or Aragon
  • You need studio-grade, print-resolution headshots — book a real photographer
  • You work entirely in Canva — Canva has a built-in AI headshot feature

How Halo compares to HeadshotPro and Aragon

HaloHeadshotPro and Aragon
Iteration speedGives you something back immediately. Iterate in one sitting.Batch services are slower by design.
ControlTakes a plain-language prompt each run.Picks for you based on training photos.
ScopeHandles outfit changes, room edits, and product photos in the same app.Headshots only.

Halo's specific wedge here is real-time iteration with prompt control. If you want to see the result quickly and tweak it, Halo. If you want to upload selfies, walk away, and come back to a curated batch, the subscription services.

What a good source selfie looks like

You don't need studio conditions. You do need a selfie that's:

  • Clear. Not blurry. Phone-quality is fine.
  • Well-lit. Natural light beats overhead lighting. Window light works great.
  • Face front. Looking roughly at the camera. Slight angles are okay.
  • Background simple. Whatever's behind you can be replaced — but a plain wall starts you in a better place than a busy bedroom.
  • One person. Not a group photo cropped to your face.

If your starting selfie is rough, Halo's output will be rough too. Spend an extra moment on a clean source photo and the result will look much better.
