Students and Recent Graduates: Stand Out With Confident, Polished Headshots

You’ve done the hard work—classes, projects, internships. Now it’s time to present yourself with the same professionalism you bring to your work. A strong headshot is often your first impression on LinkedIn, Handshake, and company recruiters.

AI Business Headshots gives students and recent grads a studio-quality headshot in seconds. Upload two photos, choose attire, pose, and background, and you’re done—no pricey studio sessions, no scheduling hassles.

Why Your Headshot Matters Early in Your Career

• Recruiters scan hundreds of profiles. A clear, confident headshot increases clicks to your LinkedIn and portfolio, helping you rise above lookalike resumes.
• Career portals and networking contacts make snap judgments. A polished image signals professionalism, reliability, and readiness.
• Consistency across platforms (LinkedIn, Handshake, personal site, email signature) builds trust and personal brand recognition.
• When appropriate for your region and industry, a professional headshot on applications and speaker bios can reinforce your credibility. (Follow local norms for resumes/CVs.)

The Student and New Grad Headshot Challenge

• Tight budgets and crowded calendars make studio bookings unrealistic during exam season and recruiting sprints.
• Dorm lighting and smartphone selfies can look unprofessional—uneven shadows, distracting backgrounds, and poor framing.
• You may need different looks for different roles: consulting vs. tech startup vs. creative portfolio. One photo rarely fits all.
• Last-minute interview invite? You can’t wait days for edited images or coordinate a photographer.

Meet AI Business Headshots—Your Studio in Seconds

Our service was built to help you look interview-ready, fast. Simply upload two clear photos of yourself, choose attire (business formal or casual), set your pose and background, and generate a refined headshot in seconds.

• Studio-grade lighting, flattering angles, and crisp details—without a physical studio.

• Multiple crops and sizes optimized for LinkedIn, Handshake, email signature, and personal sites.
