Student Headshots
Student headshots help you look ready for internships, graduate programmes and your first job, on LinkedIn, applications and university portals. Upload one clear photo, even a phone selfie in good light, and create a professional student headshot without booking a photographer.
One photo • 2 variations per generation • Packs from $9
When Students Need a Headshot
- LinkedIn: a profile photo makes your profile easier to recognise for recruiters and alumni.
- Internship and graduate applications: some ask for a photo, especially in countries where CV photos are common.
- Careers fairs and portals: university career systems and event apps often show your photo next to your profile.
- Society and club pages: committee pages and event listings for student organisations.
Many employers in the US and UK don't expect a photo on a CV, so follow each application's instructions.
Looking Professional Without a Wardrobe
You don't need to own a suit. Upload a clear photo of yourself and pick the outfit in the generator: Formal for finance, law and consulting applications, Semi-Formal for most other fields.
A plain background such as Clean White or a soft Gradient looks clean on applications and keeps attention on your face.
Getting a Good Result From a Selfie
Face a window for soft, even light, hold the phone at eye level and look straight at the camera. Avoid sunglasses, hats and heavy filters, because the generator keeps your face and expression from the photo you upload.
Each generation gives you 2 variations, and regenerating the same look is free, so you can try again until you have one you are happy to send to employers.
