Headshots That Get You to the Interview
The process shown live — slide the handle to compare.
Recruiters spend seconds per candidate, and on any platform with a photo, that photo frames everything else they read. A dim bedroom selfie next to a bulleted list of achievements undercuts the achievements. A studio headshot costs $150–$400 — real money when you're between roles and every application needs to look sharp.
Skip the studio. Take a phone photo in decent light, then let the editor do the studio's job: swap your kitchen for a neutral professional backdrop, even out the lighting, tidy flyaway hair, and sharpen the result. You'll have a headshot that holds its own on a recruiter's screen in minutes, for a fraction of one hour of studio time.
The problems this solves
- Studio headshots cost hundreds — hardest to justify exactly when you're job hunting.
- Selfies come with bedroom walls, harsh shadows, and phone-camera softness.
- Your one good photo is years old and no longer looks like you.
- Different applications want different crops and backgrounds, and you have one photo.

AI Photo ReframeFrequently asked questions
Will it still look like me in the interview?
The tools improve lighting, backdrop, and polish rather than restructuring your face — but you review the result, and the safest test is simple: would someone who met you recognize this photo?
What should I wear in the source photo?
Whatever you'd wear to the interview. Shoot facing a window, phone at eye level, and let the editor handle the background and light.
How fast can I have a finished headshot?
Minutes. Each edit renders in seconds in the browser, 24/7 — you can fix your photo the night before an application closes.
What does it cost compared to a studio?
You start with 4 free credits at signup, and even heavy editing costs a small fraction of a single studio session.
