Professional headshots for job hunting

Update your LinkedIn photo, refresh a job-search profile, or prepare a portrait for an application that asks for one. Choose a clear photo that looks like you and fits the role you want.

LinkedIn and job-search profile photos

Simple studio backgrounds keep attention on your face. Try navy or charcoal for a classic business portrait, or a softer palette for a more relaxed profile. Compare the results at the small size recruiters will see.

Resume and CV photos

Photo expectations vary by country and employer. Use a resume or CV photo when the application asks for one, and check its crop, background, and file requirements. Choose a result that represents your current appearance.

Shukatsu photos for Japanese job applications

Shukatsu is job hunting in Japan. Application portraits are often called 就活写真 (shukatsu shashin); Japanese resume photos are also called 履歴書写真 (rirekisho shashin). These two looks pair a dark suit and white shirt with a plain white or light-blue background, even lighting, and straight-on chest-up framing.

Both looks are included in the 20-photo Professional pack. You can also select either look on its own. Review your likeness and the employer’s photo instructions before using a result.

Good to know

What do I get?

20 AI portraits across 12 studio looks, including two Shukatsu looks for Japanese job applications. Every look is included at least once, with extra candidates for selected looks. The white and light-blue Shukatsu backgrounds each include two straight-on portraits. Download your favorites individually.

How many images will look like me?

Results vary widely. Some users get 10 out of 20 portraits that look like them while others may get only 1–2. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee how many will feel like you because AI is an evolving technology.

We price with this uncertainty in mind. For the cost of a specialty Starbucks drink, you can reimagine yourself and explore new looks from home without dressing up or booking a photoshoot, with images appearing in about 10–30 seconds each.

What do I need to do?

Choose your styling and pay. Then sign in or create your account, upload one clear photo of your face, and add any optional instructions. Then enjoy your images as they get created in real-time.

Which photos can I upload?

Only upload photos you have the legal right to use for AI portrait creation, with any required permissions and consent. Your uploads and use of the images must comply with applicable law and our Terms.

When will I see my portraits?

Your portraits appear in real time, about 10–30 seconds per image.

Can I change the clothes, background, or style?

Yes. Add instructions before creating your pack to request different clothes, backgrounds, or details. These instructions are included in the pack’s first 20 portraits. Have a different idea in mind? Describe it in one line and get 10 free AI suggestions. Creating a separate portrait, more portraits, or refining a result uses additional credits. The cost is shown before you create.

Where can I use these portraits?

Consider a professional profile, a company biography, or a speaker introduction. Choose a result that represents you accurately and check any image requirements for the place you use it.

How is this different from Corporate Office?

Corporate Studio pairs tailored clothing with simple studio backgrounds. Corporate Office places portraits in workplaces, including offices, meeting rooms, and libraries.

What is a Shukatsu photo?

A Shukatsu photo is a portrait used for job hunting in Japan, including Japanese resumes and application forms. Our two Shukatsu looks use a dark suit, white shirt, plain white or light-blue background, and straight-on chest-up framing. They preserve your appearance rather than changing your face to fit a generic applicant.

Can I use these headshots for LinkedIn, resumes, or job applications?

Use a result that looks like you and follows the destination’s instructions. LinkedIn and other job-search profiles commonly include a photo; resume and CV expectations vary by country and employer. For an application photo, check the requested crop, dimensions, background, and any rules about AI-generated images.

Can I create only a Shukatsu photo?

Yes. Select the white or light-blue Shukatsu look to open it in the editor. You can create that look on its own; the editor shows the credit cost before you create.

Can I pay once?

Yes. We offer one-time payments because you should be able to create when you want, without committing to a subscription. If you create regularly, our optional monthly plans offer discounts.

What if generation fails or I dislike the results?

We started Hotpot to make users happy. Every image costs money to create, even if the image fails to look like you. While we can’t promise refunds all the time, if you’re unhappy, please contact us. We’ll review what happened and look for a fair solution.

If a request fails, the pack stops and completed portraits remain available.

What happens to my uploaded photo?

Hotpot does not use your photos to train AI. Your source photo is used during creation and isn’t saved to your account. Delete saved portraits anytime from Drive. See our terms for provider processing and retention.
