This is my favorite tool on the list. It produces the most realistic results out of the bunch of AI profile picture makers I’ve tested.

My Experience with Portrait Pal

Here are some real images of myself:

Here you see my AI-generated profile pictures made by PortraitPal:

That’s epic, isn’t it? Those look super realistic and professional at the same time.

For most of the images, it’s hard to tell if it’s me or not. But of course, for some, there are still some artifacts and things that it missed.

If you want to create your profile pictures with AI, open PortraitPal’s website and click Create Your Headshots Now:

Then sign up for the service and start creating.

The tool works by asking you a couple of questions to better understand what you look like. These include your gender, eye color, hair color, and things like that:

Answer all these questions accurately to get the most accurate results.

Then read the rules for uploading your images. Make sure you’re well-lit and clearly visible with no others in the pictures.

This way the AI understands what you look like and can produce the most realistic results. In this step, you’re essentially training the AI to understand what your face looks like.

To upload your images, drag them into this view:

Here are my input images:

By the way, don’t worry about your selfies. Those don’t need to look professional—that’s the whole point of these generators. Just upload regular selfies from your camera roll.

After uploading your images, you need to wait for a while. You can close the window—everything takes place in the web servers so you don’t have to sit there and wait.

Once your images are processed, you’ll receive an email with a link to your photos.

Here are mine:

Pretty cool, huh? These are amazing to my eyes and look very close to me. Perhaps the only problem is that sometimes I look a bit too young, as I’m no longer 20 but closer to 30. But that’s fine. The AI won’t nail everything in one go.

Make sure to give it a try.

Pros

Cons

• User-Friendly: The tool is easy to use, with features like uploading images twice and a more flexible reject policy.

To Take Home

Portrait Pal creates super realistic profile images, and I’m really happy with most of my results.

There’s a wide variety of styles and poses to choose from. I never expected AI headshot generators to be this advanced already. Of course, they’re not perfect and some images might look a bit off. But for the most part, this is awesome!
